This week’s example of Canadian Art not getting any respect


I present to you artsy.net

Art.sy’s mission is to make all the world’s art accessible to anyone with an internet connection. It is a free, open-access platform where you can discover, learn about, or collect art. Art.sy features works from leading galleries, museums, private collections, and artist estates.

While it’s all fine and dandy for them to actually include some Canadian art, apparently they think that there are only 19 significant artists in Canada (Jon Pylypchuk, Gary Taxali, Angela Bulloch, Michèle Fenniak, Ben Schumacher, Shawn Kuruneru, Dave Cooper, Paul Fenniak, Monique Van Genderen, Kim Dorland, Marc Séguin, Peter Hoffer, Brendan Flanagan, Rod Penner, Sarah Anne Johnson, Louise Belcourt, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Marcel Dzama, and Jeff Wall). Pity.
