About the Item
Greg Curnoe (1936-1992) was a highly revered artist, bookmaker and competitive cyclist. He was based in London, Ontario but beloved across the country. He would represent Canada at the Venice Biennale in 1976.
Unwavering in his allegiance to the Canadian/local art scene, Curnoe led the London Regionalism movement alongside fellow artists such as Jack Chambers, Tony Urquhart, and Murray Favro. Together, they championed their hometown of London, Ontario by focusing on local life in their art, activism, and loyalty.
In an act of cruel irony, Curnoe died in a tragic cycling accident while riding the same yellow Mariposa bike that was a frequent subject in his work.
Curnoe’s lifetime passion for sport had a large presence in his practice and iconography. Capturing subject matter from the local social and cultural milieu, Curnoe was devoted to depicting personal objects and experiences from his day-to-day life, inspiring a generation of artists to do the same. While Curnoe could be considered a second-generation Pop artist, there was something more personal and intimate in both his approach and artwork.
Although Curnoe created many works on paper, he curiously did very little printmaking. Here we find an unusual application of ink to lithograph using several hockey stick blades. The effect is intriguing, simultaneously familiar and abstracted. Hockey Stick Blades from West Lions Park, London includes stamped numbers and graphic arrows in the iconic yellow Curnoe fans know well. While not considered a monotype, each print in the edition varies slightly from the arrangement of hockey blades, the intensity of the ink and of course the bold numbering.
This work was published as part of the Toronto 20 Portfolio, a suite of 20 prints in various media on wove paper; published by Art Publications in cooperation with The Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, University of Toronto Press, 1965;
Greg Curnoe’s works can be found in numerous public and private collections across Canada. The most significant collections are at Museum London, the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, and Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto. The E.P. Taylor Research Library.
The Art Gallery of Ontario holds the archives of Greg Curnoe.

- The Far ShoreBy Joyce WielandLocated in Toronto, OntarioJoyce Wieland (1931-1998) was one of the most accomplished and versatile Canadian artists of the 20th century. Emerging on the Toronto art scene in the early 1960s, throughout her career Wieland would explore the role of women, the body, nationalism, and intimacy using a variety of mediums. During much of the 1970s, Wieland was consumed by the creation (and recovery) of making her single feature film "The Far Shore". Her all-encompassing approach included writing the script, directing, co-producing, and trying to finance the project, a task that she notoriously despised. The film was loosely inspired by the life and death of the Canadian painter, Tom Thompson...Category

- Spheres of InfluenceBy Lawrence WeinerLocated in Toronto, OntarioLawrence Weiner (b. 1942) is one of the most-distinctive American conceptual artists. His philosophy and aesthetic developed concurrently to Sol LeWitt yet Weiner has focused far more on (text-based) installation - typically in public spaces. Exhibited at Leo Castelli during the 1970's, Weiner has been an institutional darling with major exhibitions at most of the world's top museums. As a significant portion of his output is temporary installation, his multiples (which are few and far between) are sought-after and cherished by collectors. This rare silkscreen was published in conjunction with Weiner's solo exhibition "SPHERES OF INFLUENCE...Category
