Hidden Gems
Oct 07, 2017 - May 13, 2018
The City Art Centre鈥檚 fine art collection numbers over 4,800 items. Some 鈥榦ld favourites鈥� in the collection are exhibited often, but others have rarely ever been seen by the public. Some of these are stand-alone artworks that do not fit easily into thematic or chronological displays. Others represent unfamiliar periods in artists鈥� careers, or are by artists who were successful in their day but are now virtually forgotten. Some artworks have simply never had a chance to shine.
Hidden Gems focuses on these lesser-known treasures, celebrating the unsung and the unusual. The exhibition reveals artworks in a variety of media dating from the 18th century to present day.
