Congratulations to Kitty Scott who becomes the first female Chief Curator of the National Gallery of Canada. She has my best wishes of success and, especially, joy in her new role.
Jim Borcoman (1926-2019) built the foundations and the first floor of Canada's finest public collection of photographs. The last great museum pioneer of my acquaintance, we owe him a lot. Grateful for his friendship, I'll miss his kindness, wit, & his unique visual intelligence.
Un personnage des plus sympathiques, je retiens d’excellents souvenirs de lui, de son érudition hors pair, son ouverture d’esprit, son enthousiasme et son humour fraternel. Salut et merci, cher François-Marc. https://t.co/OeQXpzIreu
A memorable soirée saluting Marc Mayer for ten productive years at the helm of the National Gallery of Canada with artists, collectors, philanthropists, business, government and community leaders in attendance. @NatGalleryCan #art#culture#philanthropy
