Join us to see the ways art reveals and shapes the world in which we live. Close looking is an online monthly series that invites people to spend time with artworks from the AGO Collection - observing their details, discussing its creation, its history and the artist’s intention through multiple senses and perspectives.
Join Amy Furness, Rosamond Ivey Special Collections Archivist and Head, Library & Archives, as she explores the archival legacy of Jack Pollock, a pioneering art dealer and artist who left an indelible mark on the Toronto art world of the 1960s through the 1980s. Perhaps best known for championing the artist Norval Morrisseau, Pollock was also an artist in his own right, and a memorable writer. Hear more about his life and work as revealed through his personal archive, which joined the collections of the Edward P. Taylor Library & Archives in 2021.
