Breadth of Vision: Works from the Estate of David Blackwood
About the Exhibition
Cowley Abbott is honoured to collaborate with the Estate of David Blackwood to present an exclusive selling exhibition this fall. Breadth of Vision: Works from the Estate of David Blackwood offers collectors and admirers of Blackwood’s artistry a unique opportunity to acquire artworks through private sale directly from the artist’s estate.
The exhibition highlights the extraordinary range of Blackwood’s practice and a lifetime of artistic experimentation. Blackwood was a master printmaker, draughtsman and painter, which is highlighted throughout this exhibition. Featuring etchings and aquatints, watercolours, drawings, copperplates and an encaustic on built wood panel, this selection of artworks reflects the artist’s lifelong dedication to telling the stories of Newfoundland and Labrador. Among the highlights are twelve prints also on view in the Art Gallery of Ontario’s current exhibition, David Blackwood: Myth & Legend, including iconic works such as The Flora S. Nickerson in the Labrador Sea and April Iceberg Off Bragg’s Island.
This thoughtfully curated presentation celebrates Blackwood’s distinctive artistic vision—his ability to transform maritime history, folklore and personal memory into powerful and enduring images. Running from October 7th to December 4th, the exhibition offers a rare chance to view and purchase significant works spanning the artist’s career.
We are delighted to welcome avid collectors of his work to this special event honouring one of Canada’s most beloved printmakers and storytellers.
