Suzy LakeMAQUETTE: RE-READING RECOVERY #7, 1997Colour gelatin printEdition 2 of 7 20 ins x 16 ins; 50.8 cms x 40.6 cms Provenance:Courtesy the artist and Georgia Scherman Projects, TorontoNote:A recipient of the Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts in 2016, Suzy Lake is a groundbreaking photographer whose early 1970s work, which critiqued feminist tropes in the media, set the stage for much of the feminist and identity-based work that followed. Artists such as Cindy Sherman have cited Lake as an inspiration. Born in the US, but a resident of Canada since the late 1960s, Lake also works in performance, and uses drawing, painting and installation to extend a photograph’s intent. Her work resides in several public art collections, including the Albright Knox Art Gallery (Buffalo, New York), the Art Gallery of Hamilton, Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto), the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, Sammlung Verbund (Vienna) and the Vancouver Art Gallery. In 2016, she was the winner of the Scotiabank Photography Award, and she will have a solo exhibition at the Ryerson Image Centre (Toronto) in 2017. From 2016 to 2018, her work will be included in the touring exhibition “The Feminist Avant-Garde of the 1970s,” curated by Gabriele Schor, which will visit the Photographers' Gallery (London, UK), the Museum of Modern Art (Vienna), Zum (Karlsruhe, Germany), Brno House of Arts, (Czechoslovakia) and the Stavanger Art Museum (Norway). She will also have a solo exhibition at her Toronto gallery, Georgia Scherman Projects, and the McMaster Museum of Art (Hamilton) in 2016. Estimate: $3,200–3,700
