Liz Magor
Four Boys and A Girl, 1979, Fabric, grass, steel, organic clippings, glue, wool, wood, 5 slabs, each: 30 x 46 x 179 cm (11 13/16 x 18 1/8 x 70 1/2 in.) Art Gallery of Ontario. Purchase, 1985 *credit line to be updated
In 1985 the AGO was given the significant contribution of works of art and archival materials, as well as a monetary donation to establish a purchase fund for contemporary sculpture from the Loring and Wyle Estate, then managed by Frances Gage, sculptor and executor.
The donation enabled the AGO to acquire Liz Magor's Four Boys and a Girl, 1979. In 1987, there was an exhibition entitled Sculptors Legacy to display the Loring and Wyle Estate gift and to "expose Loring and Wyle's relevant contribution to Canadian historical art". The Magor acquisition was shown in tandem with the exhibition.
In looking back, indeed, this was the AGO's first Sculpture Fund acquisition and the first Artist to Artist exhibition.
