This exhibition features a group of historical and contemporary First Nations artwork from the Northwest Coast, from the Collection of George Gund III. The Gund collection includes magnificent nineteenth-century masks, feast bowls, argillite carvings and other objects from across the region, including from the Haida, Nuu-chahnulth, Kwawaka'wakw, Tlingit, Heiltsuk and Nuxalk First Nations. The Gund collection strengthens the Gallery's ability to tell the story of art in this region immensely. It is an honour to show these works in Vancouver making them available to the public after being largely inaccessible for so many years in a private collection.
