“The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts’ exhibition – the first retrospective ever presented in North America –
corrects a major oversight and broadens perspectives by demonstrating with rigour the development of his oeuvre.”
– Beaux Arts Magazine
“The first comprehensive retrospective in North America devoted to Tom Wesselmann, Pop Art’s fourth Musketeer, has everything to appeal to visitors.”
- L’œil
“Well beyond Pop Art… Tom Wesselmann is a giant. Finally, a superb exhibition that does him justice.”
- Art actuel

MIRABILIA
By Dominique Blain
By Dominique Blain, artist
Artist Dominique Blain will discuss her installation
Mirabilia, created in 2011 for the Level 3
terrace of the Claire and Marc Bourgie
Pavilion of Quebec and Canadian Art. This
luminous necropolis evokes the cultural and
spiritual treasures lost, pillaged, destroyed
by History – the objects the museums did
not manage to save.
Unless otherwise indicated, lectures are presented free of charge at the Maxwell
Cummings Auditorium, Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion, 1379-A Sherbrooke Street
West.
Doors open 30 minutes before the event begins.
Places are limited and are
available on a first-come, first-served basis.
