Sorel Etrog: selected works including painted constructions, oils on canvas, drawings and bronzes from mid-1950’s to the mid-1970's.  

For more than half a century Sorel Etrog (1933—2014) was one of Canada’s most prominent sculptors. Born in Romania, he emigrated with his family to Israel in 1950 and then to Canada in 1963. Etrog represented Canada at the 1966 Venice Biennale with Alex Colville and Yves Gaucher. His work has been collected by leading museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum (NYC), the Tate Gallery (London), the Hirschorn Museum (Washington, DC), the National Gallery of Canada and the Art Gallery of Ontario, where a retrospective of Etrog’s work was mounted in 2013.  

Gallery Jones is honoured to exhibit a curated collection of Etrog’s work spanning several decades. His creative and intellectual curiosity led to strong friendships with playwrights, composers and theorists such as Samuel Beckett, Eugène Ionesco, John Cage and Marshall McLuhan and is reflected in his innovative use of material as well as his evolving examination of the human condition in the modern world.
