No Yukon art in National Gallery, official = confirms
Last Updated: Wednesday, August 26, 2009 | 5:19 = PM CT=20
CBC = News=20
The National Gallery of Canada has confirmed that it does not have = any=20 paintings by Yukon artists in its permanent collection.
The issue of Yukon representation at the Ottawa gallery was raised = this week=20 by the biographer of Ted Harrison, whose bold, colourful northern-themed = paintings have graced children's books and won accolades and awards.
Katherine Gibson, author of Ted Harrison: Painting Paradise, = called=20 the National Gallery's lack of Yukon artwork "a travesty" in an = interview with=20 CBC Radio on Tuesday.
"We do try to acquire works from all of the regions in Canada but = sometimes=20 it's just not that possible," National Gallery spokeswoman Joanne = Charette told=20 CBC News on Wednesday. "I think that the Yukon has very strong artists = and that=20 our curators are in contact with many, many of them."
However, Charette said she had never heard of Harrison before she was = contacted by CBC News, nor could she name any of the Yukon artists she = said=20 gallery curators are in contact with.
Gibson said she hopes her biography of Harrison will raise his = profile=20 nationwide, perhaps even at the National Gallery.
Harrison and Gibson are set to launch Painting Paradise = Wednesday=20 evening at the Yukon Arts Centre.
