Comment

An invitation to the opening of Sculpture ’67 on Thursday June 1st 1967, which saw the sculpture works from Montréal’s Expo67 relocated to Toronto’s City Hall and presented by the National Gallery of Canada as a standalone open air exhibition. This formed part of the gallery’s Centennial celebrations, and comprised 68 artworks in total, numbered and listed with key supporting provided here.

 

Like the ‘program‘, the document is printed to one side of an oversized sheet, in blue and black ink, but this one folds down to a 4 page (to view) invitation. The identity is particularly striking and provides the angle for the supporting text throughout. The appearance of the Centennial Symbol is a nice touch, Doerrié having his work presented along with with Stuart Ash’s back in 1964 to the Centennial Commission.
