Lot Report

Provenance:

Courtesy of the artist and Nicholas Metivier Gallery, Toronto

Note:

John Scott (1950–2022) was one of Canada’s most legendary and respected artists. For over 50 years, he created raw-edge drawings and sculptures that acted as social commentary on the dark side of politics, war and human nature. Scott was born in Windsor and lived in Toronto, teaching at OCAD University for 38 years.

Scott exhibited extensively across Canada for 40 years, and his work is in the collections of many major institutions in Canada and the United States including the AGO (Toronto); the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa); the MoMA (New York); and the Grinnell College Museum of Art (Iowa). In 2000, Scott was awarded the inaugural Governor General’s Award in Visual Arts and Media. In December 2024, a solo exhibition at The McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Vaughn will explore the artist’s images of military machines and surveillance technologies, reflecting his distinct perceptions on the threat of war.
