Berry Campbell Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings by the prestigious Canadian Color Field artist, William Perehudoff (1918-2013). William Perehudoff: Architect of Color is a survey spanning the artist's career featuring an early masterpiece, Allegro (AC-67-002), from 1967. Timothy Long, chief curator of Saskatchewan's Norman MacKenzie Art Gallery, recalled that Perehudoff, "invited you to live with colour, he was one of the greatest colourists this province and Canada has produced." As written by The Globe and Mail (Saksatoon) in 2013, Perehudoff was a friend of and is regarded as the heir to Jack Bush, as Canada's most important Color Field painter. [1] The exhibition will open with a reception on Thursday, April 25, 2019 from 6 to 8 pm and continues through May 24, 2019. Karen Wilkin, curator of Perehudoff's traveling museum retrospective, The Optimism of Colour: William Perehudoff, will give a gallery talk on May 8 at 6:45 pm.
