The book is beautifully illustrated with eighty images of artworks in the permanent collection, beginning with the gallery's first acquisition, Tom Thomson's 1917 masterpiece The Drive, the last large canvas he painted before his tragic death. As curator, Nasby oversaw the creation of one of the most comprehensive sculpture parks in Canada and the amassing of a permanent collection of some nine thousand artworks. In The Making of a Museum Nasby reveals how the museum developed its internationally recognized collection of contemporary Inuit drawings and wall hangings that toured four continents. She discusses the development of the collection's specializations in contemporary works by Canadian silversmiths; historical European etchings; Haudenosaunee beadwork; and others that arose from curatorial collaborations, such as molas by Kuna women artists from Panama and contemporary paintings and indigenous woodcuts from Chongqing, China. Nasby recounts her long career as founding director and curator, peppering the hundred-year history of cultural development on the University of Guelph campus and in the city with humorous anecdotes and personal insights to reveal how arts institutions can be created through dedication, serendipity, and perseverance."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 610 20 $a Art Gallery of Guelph $x History. 610 20 $a Macdonald Stewart Art Centre $x History. 610 20 $a University of Guelph $x History. 610 26 $a Art Gallery of Guelph $x Histoire. 610 26 $a Macdonald Stewart Art Centre $x Histoire. 610 26 $a University of Guelph $x Histoire. 610 27 $a Macdonald Stewart Art Centre. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00586695 610 27 $a University of Guelph. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00544830 650 0 $a Art museums $z Guelph $z Guelph $x History. 650 6 $a Art $x Hisoire. $z Guelph $z Guelph $x Hisoire. 650 7 $a Art museums. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815631 651 7 $a Ontario $z Guelph. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01220884 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Nasby, Judith, 1945- $t Making of a museum. $d Montreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2021 $z 9780228007609 $z 9780228007609 $w (OCoLC)1241738647 830 0 $a Footprints series (Montreal, Quebec) ; $v 27. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015313.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=056F6C885F0811ECA70E6FDD2BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
