AGO Modern and Contemporary presents over one hundred remarkable works from the AGO’s permanent collection. Featuring recent landmark acquisitions such as Yayoi Kusama’s INFINITY MIRRORED ROOM – LET’S SURVIVE FOREVER and commissions such as Zak Ové’s eighteen-foot-tall Moko Jumbie, this remarkable volume provides a fresh look at the AGO’s collection and its commitment to highlighting ground-breaking artwork by women, Indigenous, and racialized artists. Included are recent commissions as well as acquisitions by painters, sculptors, and installation artists such as Shuvinai Ashoona, Rebecca Belmore, Emily Carr, and Theaster Gates. This handsome, large-format volume demonstrates the diversity of artistic cultural representation in the AGO’s Modern and Contemporary collections, including works from both Indigenous + Canadian Art as well as the Arts of Global Africa & The Diaspora collecting areas. With a foreword by Michael and Sonja Koerner Director, and CEO Stephen Jost and with works presented in a loose chronological order, AGO Modern and Contemporary demonstrates the transformation of the AGO’s collection and encourages consideration of future artistic representation both in Toronto and Canada at large.
