Corkin Gallery is pleased to present  ; these artworks have never been shown together.   This is a rare opportunity to see historically significant works that explore the interconnectedness of artists around the globe and how they influenced each other.   Even with Corkin’s expertise and connections, this exhibition took over two years to assemble. While there are works priced over six figures, this exhibition is an engaging and stimulating experience for any art lover in Toronto. Traces of Abstraction  showcases some of the most important artists who shaped the development of the abstract art movement.

The exhibition examines the transformation of a movement that absorbed colour, feelings and forms as the core elements to revolutionize the North American art scene from the mid-20th century onwards.
