This Week at Agnes

A closer look with B-Side Agnes Etherington: Paul Litherland

Montreal-based photographer Paul Litherland offers unprecedented access to the little-seen “back sides” of paintings from the Agnes’s historical European collection in B-Side Agnes Etherington. Enlightening viewers about the physical histories of Old Master paintings, this exhibition invites viewers to contemplate notions of the simulacrum and the trompe-l’oeil tradition. The exhibition is curated by Dr Jacquelyn N. Coutré, Eleanor Wood Prince Associate Curator of European Painting and Sculpture before 1750, Art Institute of Chicago.

Read a review of the exhibition in Kingston Whig Standard: “A rare look behind the scenes” by Camille Parkinson.

Agnes’s vibrant new website

In January, Agnes launched a major website refresh, which was beautifully designed and developed by Studio: Blackwell (Toronto, ON). Part of a multi-year digital development initiative, this new and improved online presence offers an evolved design and improved functionality across the site and offers opportunities to expand in the months and years to come.

Read an interview with Danuta Sierhuis, Digital Development Coordinator. She talks about the impetus for the project and describes many of the great new features you can enjoy.
