About the Item

Two columns of horizontal rectangles in alternating colours of forest green and warm white frame a third, central column of warm white and sapphire blue rectangles in this 7.5 foot tall canvas. The edges of the acrylic rectangles merge gently with their neighbours and appear to breathe rhythmically against the picture plane. This piece is an homage to American minimalist sculptor Donald Judd who explored space and light in his bas relief columns of rectangular boxes. Milly Ristvedt (b. 1942, Kimberley, BC) MA, RCA, began her career in Toronto in 1964 after studies with Takao Tanabe at the Vancouver School of Art. At 24, her work was included in the Centennial Exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario and featured at the National Gallery of Canada. She was chosen for prestigious exhibitions in Winnipeg, Paris and Lausanne. By 1969, Ristvedt was sharing a studio with Jack Bush and showing with the Carmen Lamanna Gallery. That same year, Barry Lord observed in Art in America that Ristvedt’s paintings were “…more insistent than Bush, more consciously structured than Molinari.” Over her long career, Ristvedt has had over 50 solo exhibitions. Her abstract, acrylic canvases are held in private, corporate and public collections including the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal and Harvard University.
