East Gallery
May 7, 2004 – October 3, 2004
“Selections” was a snapshot of the contemporary art collection of William and Ruth True. Since its start in the early 90’s, the collection has grown to several hundred pieces, including large series by major artists in photography and video. Timed to celebrate the opening of Western Bridge, the Trues’s contemporary art space, “Selections” offered a view of the breadth of the True collection: four linked 2002 works by Trisha Donnely that document the artist creating rain in a distant Canadian forest; videos by Euan Macdonald and Kirsten Stoltman; and several of the portraits that began the Trues’ extraordinary collecting partnership.
