Provenance

Being sold on behalf of the University of Saskatchewan Art Galleries with all proceeds going to the Jean Johnston Memorial Fund dedicated to student enrichment within the fine arts. Items on offer came to the U of S as donations with the understanding that some works would be dispersed to help maintain the health and accessibility of the collection, and some items were part of public decoration throughout the campus that have now shifted. All U of S items on auction have never been a part of the University of Saskatchewan Art Collection and the artworks presented in this auction have been cleared for display and sale. About the Jean Johnston Memorial Fund - Jean Johnston was an artist and educator who graduated from U of S in 1935 having studied under Augustus Kenderdine. She taught throughout Saskatchewan, but her career as a commercial artist, portrait painter, and illustrator would take her to Pennsylvania where she also taught at the Art Institute of Pennsylvania. Jean Johnston returned to Saskatchewan in 1985. A memorial fund in her name was established to support the student art gallery, student exhibitions and the development and presentation of the student-based collection.
