I am glad to help.

Start by bookmarking the ABC Art Books Canada website – they deal exclusively in Canadian gallery/museum publications and are an ARLIS/NA Exhibitor. Establish standing orders with our museums and galleries. To identify post 2000 imprints, you might search for our Governor General’s Award winners – that is one way to approach this task. At least, it will be a start.

Dear Colleagues,

 

I am collecting books and exhibition catalogs on a global scale and have been doing this since 2000.  Our Department now teaches Contemporary Art (history) on a global scale.  I would like to now focus on Canada as books on that subject do not seem to be in vendor databases often (except for Worldwide Art Books).  Since I was once told by Mary Williamson some years ago that I should become an “honorary” member of the Canadian contingent of ARLIS/NA, I am hoping that my Canadian colleagues (including those in Montreal) can help me with this question.

 

What are the top books on contemporary art / artists in your country.  By top, I mean, as art librarians in Canada, what are the top books and exhibition catalogs published since 2000 that you can think of and share with me.  I do want to be inclusive and diverse, including Inuit and practicing Native American Indians.  I realize this question is ptobably overwhelming, but I am asking my colleagues because you know what the “best” titles are.

 

Along those lines, what are the currently running biennials in Canada? 

 

Thanks so very much, Ray Anne Lockard
