Beskrivning

Modern Art, Modern Life: The Rapp Collection celebrates the extraordinary collection of modern and contemporary art that Carol and Morton Rapp acquired over seven decades. Now resident in the AGO’s Prints and Drawings collection, the Rapp collection features over 450 works by more than 200 artists, including Lee Bontecou, David Hockney, Jasper Johns, William Kentridge, Kent Monkman, and Andy Warhol. Unique among Toronto collectors, the Rapps were especially drawn to printmakers and photographers who pushed the medium forward. Their collection chronicles the renaissance in these mediums during the 1960s and 1970s and their continued evolution into the 21st century. Modern Art, Modern Life features reproductions of a selection of 150 works and archival documents from the full collection, as well as essays by curators and artists including Christophe Cherix, Jim Dine, Rachel Anne Farquharson, Alexa Greist, Tom McDonough, David Moos, Kitty Scott, Sasha Suda, Maia-Mari Sutnik, and Matthew Teitelbaum. Together they present a fresh look at previously unknown works by major artists and examine the role that collecting plays in shaping institutions and art history.
