This long-overdue exhibition is the first Canadian show of Murch’s work ever held west of Ontario. Murch grew up in Toronto, attended the Ontario College of Art and went to New York City for a “short visit” in 1927. From the 1940s until his death, he showed with the Betty Parsons Gallery in New York (along with Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman and other prominent artists), and held teaching posts at several American universities. The works in this exhibition are on loan from private collections and the artist’s estate.
The Spirit of Things is curated by Ihor Holubizky and Bill Jeffries, and is circulated by the Robert McLaughlin Gallery.
A catalogue of the exhibition (with texts) by Ihor Holubizky and Bill Jeffries is available at the Gallery for $30.
