Private collection
at AGO
One of the most significant private collec-
tions of international contemporary art in
Canada, the Roger and Myra Davidson Col-
lection, is the focus of a major exhibition at
the Art Gallery of Ontario.
The exhibition, Selections from the Roger
and Myra Davidson Collection, opens at the
AGO oaJanuary 17 and continues through to
March 22. As the title indicates, the exhibi-
tion is a representative selection — more
than 60 large-scale works - from the exten-
sive Davidson collection, which began in the
1960s and today fills a Large house in Toron-
to, another in the Muskokas, and con-
siderable storage space.
The Davidson .collection encompasses im-
portant work by some of the most signifi—
cant artists of the last 40 years. The collec-
tion is primarily dedicated to the American
avant-garde, with strong concentrations of
works by Robert Rauschenberg, Frank
Stella, Ellsworth Kelly, and Jules Olitski,
among others; accompanied by other im-
portant examples of Colour Field painting,
Pop and Minimal art, and related
movements. With the resurgence of.
figurative painting in the 1980', alongside
such Americans as Julian Schnabel and
Donald Sultan, the collection has also em-
braced German Neo -Expressionist and
Italian Trans -avant-garde works.
The selection of the works for the exhibi-
tion has been made by Roger Davidson and
Roald Nasgaard, Chief Curator at the Art
Gallery of Ontario. According to Nasgaard
the richness of the Davidson collection can
largely be attributed to Roger Davidson's
pattern of collecting: at any one time he has
always concentrated on the work of three or
four artists that have most profoundly
engaged him, and represented them in con-
siderable depth.
Several of the works in the exhibition are
from the AGO's Permanent Collection
which Roger and Myra Davidson have
generously donated to the Gallery over the
years. Roger Davidson's personal ties with
the AGO i o bae-k a long way. In 1966, at age
25, he became the youngest member of the
Gallery's Canadian -American Collection
Committee and -continued to serve in this
capacity until 1970. In 1979 he became a
member of the board of Trustees and rejoin-
ed the Committee in 1981, now renamed In-
ternational Contemporary Collection Com-
mittee, and became its Chairman in 1985.
The full-color illustrated catalogue, which
accompanies the exhibition, traces Roger
Davidson's development as an exceptional
collector, and offers valuable insights about
the principles that govern his practice of
collecting.

"Season to .Season: A
farmer's Story" will
examine plight of farmer
On January 29 at 7:30 p.m., TV -London
will air a program which examines the
plight of Canadian farmers. The one-hour
special, "Season .To Season: A Farmer's
Story" profiles Ilderton, Ontario area
farmer John Walls and his wife Mary,.son
Greg, and daughters Ellen and Joanne. It is
followed by a half-hour special, The
Ministers Respond, hosted by TV -London's
Ross Daily, Guests for the program include
Federal Minister of Agriculture, John Wise,
Ontario Agriculture Minister Jack Riddell,
farmer John Walls and Brian Farlinger of
the Canadian Bankers' Association. The
program explores John Walls' present situa-
tion in relation to previous years on the
farm.
A year in the making, "Season To Season:
A Farmer's Story" was edited from footage
of more than threeedozen on -location shoots
by TV -London camera crews. Cameraman
Richard Johnstone is with John and his
family as the chores are done, the books•
prepared, the crops planted and harvested.
The camera follows him to buy seed and is
there when a load of his cattle go to market.
The camera is at the gate when a new load
of calves arrive and is on -location when the
fall flair rolls into town and Greg wins a calf
scramble in a mud -bowl corral. ..,
The camera also witnesses a poignant
scene as John and his family help a neighbor
load his belongings onto a truck for the
move into town - the neighbor's farm has
been repossessed by the bank. John feels it
could never happen to him.
The two specials, "Season To Season: A
Farmer's Story" and The Ministers Res-
pond illustrate not only plummeting grain
prices on world markets but a way of life in
jeopardy.
Blyth Festival gets grant
Toronto - A $10 -million program to help
arts groups reduce their deficits has
stimulated a round of imaginative fund rais-
ing across the -province.
"The arts community has responded to
the challenge posed by the Investment in the
Arts program with enterprising and inven-
tive plans" said Minister of Citizenship and
Culture Lily Munro.
For example, the Quinte Dance Centre in
Belleville is asking local and national
business to sponsor its professional -level
ballet students for $2,500 a year. In return,
students help out at company events. The
centre already has $6,250 of the $20,000 it
hopes to raise in the program, she said.
Locally, The Blyth Centre for the Arts
received $60,000, as did the Huron County
Playhouse, as part of the $10 -million
program.

Since June, when the program was an-
nounced, the ministry has approved 118 ap-
plications committing $5,140,000 in mat-
ching funds. It is reviewing proposals from
another 16 companies for a further
$2,630,000. The ministry hopes to have the
program completely subscribed by January
1987.
The program runs over three of the arts
companies' fiscal years. It matches one-to-
one every fundraising dollar received above
the average level raised in the community.
Morley given by new corporate sponsors is
matched two-for-one.
Investment in the Arts requires arts
groups to invest money raised for the pro-
gram in endowment funds, from which they
draw interest. Ministry money is available
to reduce their accumulated deficits or to
supplement -endowment funds.
