Pictures on the Wall: Building a Canadian Art Collection

Pictures on the Wall: Building a Canadian Art Collection is as much a social history of Canadian art as it is the story of an avid art collector. Those familiar with the magic of art’s first spark will relate to the teenage Michael Audain taping reproductions of Bruegel paintings to his dorm-room wall. The book tracks his unwavering commitment to an inclusive Canadian art through his construction of the Audain Art Museum at Whistler, BC, and his participation on the board of the National Gallery of Canada.
