Michael Gibson Gallery, London
Michael Gibson Gallery is a long-established commercial gallery focused on historical and contemporary Canadian art. Founded in 1984, it focuses on artists linked to the Group of Seven and their contemporaries. Works by figures such as A.Y. Jackson are shown alongside later artists, tracing changes in landscape painting. The gallery also represents estates including Greg Curnoe, Brian Jones, and William Perehudoff.
The interior supports both permanent displays and rotating exhibitions, with lighting and spacing designed for close viewing. Paintings, drawings, and prints highlight details such as brushwork, composition, and color. Exhibitions often focus on specific artists or themes, showing changes in style over time.
The gallery also plays an active role in the secondary art market, handling sales and appraisals of historical works. Staff provide information on provenance and technique, helping explain how artworks are valued and preserved. The gallery launched a website in 1996, an early step for a private gallery. Contemporary exhibitions present newer approaches while staying connected to earlier traditions.
