AGO's collection of close to 95,000 works ranges from cutting-edge contemporary art such as Untilled (Liegender Frauenakt) by Pierre Huyghe to European masterpieces such as Peter Paul Ruben's The Massacre of the Innocents; from the vast collection by the Group of Seven to works by established and emerging Indigenous Canadian artists; with a photography collection that tracks the impact of the medium with deep holdings of works by artists such as Gary Winogrand and Diane Arbus; and with focused collections in Gothic boxwood miniatures and Western and Central African art. With each image accompanied by a brief text on the artist and work, the AGO Collection guide amounts to a survey course in western art.Art has the ability to bridge cultures and create new ways of communicating.
