About the Item
"Special Green, 1967" by Gordon Smith, signed on the reverse.
Dive into the vibrant world of "Special Green," a captivating painting from 1967 by the celebrated Canadian artist, Gordon Appelbe Smith (1919-2020). This rare masterpiece marks a fascinating period in Smith's artistic journey, where he explored the bold language of hard-edge abstraction.
"Special Green" boasts an impressive exhibition history, having been featured at notable venues like the Mira Godard Gallery and the Agnès Lefort Gallery. Adding to its significance, a print of this work, also titled "Special Green, 1967-68" (found on the last image in a horizontal orientation), is proudly held in the Tate London collection, a gift from Simon Fraser University in 1977.
Gordon Smith, one of Canada’s most important painters, is a recipient of numerous accolades, including the Order of Canada, the Order of British Columbia, and the Governor General’s Award for Visual Art. His illustrious career reflects a profound exploration of form and color, balancing abstraction with a deep appreciation for the natural world.
Smith's work is housed in numerous permanent collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Canada, the Carnegie Foundation, and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the National Collection at the Smithsonian Institute, the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Victoria Art Gallery. These institutions recognize and celebrate Smith's significant contributions to the art world, showcasing his lasting legacy in both Canadian and international art.
