PRAXIS COLLECTION
Drawings by sculptors

THE PRAXIS Collection, a
new exhibition of works on
paper by a group of inter-
nationally recognized con-
temporary artists, opens
August 10 at the Vancouver
Art Gallery.

The 37 drawings, collages,
and photographs, were pro-
duced between 1940 and
1981, primarily by sculptors,
of American, European,
Canadian and Australian
origin.

Included are such artists as
Alexander Calder, Jan Dib-
bets, David Smith, Reg
Butler, Eduardo Paolozzi,
Man Ray, George Segal and
Robert Smithson.

The exhibition, which con-
tinues through September 16,
was Organized by the Van-

couver Art Gallery under
curator Scott Watson.

**Most of the pieces in the
collection are by sculptors.
Some are working drawings,
replete with notations and
erasures, which describe the
formative stages in the mak-
ing of a work of art. Others
are works of art, complete in
themselves,’’ Watson
explains.

‘*The collection is eclectic
and reflects some of the ma-
jor artistic developments of
the past four decades. It in-
cludes figurative, abstract,
minimal and conceptual
pieces,’ Watson added.

Watson points out that the
Praxis Collection was
mounted as a supplement (o
the Seagram Collection of

drawings by sculptors, also
installed in the Fourth Floor.
Many of the contemporary
developments and ideas are
expressed in both exhibitions,
and works by Dan Flavin,
Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt,
Bruce Naumann and Robert
Smithson.
