The museum’s exhibition is a wonderful and informative one, accompanied by an extensively researched catalogue – one I think 4 or 5 years in preparation. For our part, we would simply like to reiterate how the Klinkhoff family has been singing the praises of the Beaver Hall Group artists and others for decades now by preparing dozens of non-selling exhibitions in their honour, advising collectors to purchase their work, and acting for some of their estates selling their work. Whereas in some cases we may have been a generation removed from the artist himself or herself, in others we, Dad at any rate, was current with many of their careers.

The knowledge accumulated anecdotally from Mom and Dad’s experiences and more than 40 years of our own organizing a number of non-selling exhibitions honouring many of these artists is significant to our understanding of their work.
