Canadian Collection

The Canadian collection is distinguished in part through a great number of iconic works, including Alex Colville’s Horse and Train, William Kurelek’s This is the Nemesis, and William Blair Bruce’s Phantom Hunter. Our current priorities for building the Canadian collection include Indigenous artists and artists from our region.
