Fabulous building, cool exhibit, great visit.
Apparently I am incapable of spending more than 90 minutes in an art museum when travelling. I arrived at AGO at 4:00, they close at 5:30.
The exhibit of abstract expressionists on loan from MOMA is extraordinary.
With 20 minutes left before closing I rushed through the Canadian gallery -- how come the Seven aren't better known in the States? -- and spent the remaining time till closing in Inuit Modern. I have never seen anything like this before. Amazing untrained artists working within their own cultural norms to create works as intellectually stimulating as the AbExp exhibit down the hall. Wow!
If I lived in TO, I'd slowly explore AGO a gallery at a time.
Question: Do you Canadians roll your eyes when foreigners rave about Inuit art?
