NS ART GALLERY--THE GERSHON ISKOWITZ FOUNDATION GIVES WORK
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia is among the Canadian institutions
adding works from the Gershon Iskowitz Foundation to its
permanent collection.

The foundation announced last October that it was giving over 100
works by artist Gershon Iskowitz to more than 30 art museums
across Canada.

Through this donation the AGNS received Highland in Red, 1977,
oil on canvas. The painting is on display in LeRoy and Marguerite
Zwicker Gallery.

The Gershon Iskowitz Foundation is a non-profit charitable
foundation whose mandate is the promotion and support of the
visual arts in Canada.
