Contemporary Art


The Museum’s contemporary pieces range from the clean geometric abstraction of Guido Molinari and the Plasticiens to the magic realism of Alex Colville’s Church and Horse (1964). The collection includes several works by internationally acclaimed Montreal artist Betty Goodwin, as well as minimalist sculpture, installation pieces and other recent art forms.

The Museum’s collection of international contemporary art includes works by American artists such as Hans Hofmann, Sam Francis, Robert Rauschenberg, Alexander Calder, Louise Nevelson and Leon Golub. European artists are represented by Gerhard Richter, Jorg Immendorff, Rebecca Horn, Barry Flanagan and Stephan Balkenhol.
