The Art Gallery of Ontario will mount a major retrospective of more than 90 works by Alex Colville, the celebrated Canadian painter who died in July of this year, the gallery said.

The exhibition, which is slated to open in August 2014, will be the largest exhibition of the late artist’s work ever mounted, according to the AGO. The last time the gallery hosted a Colville retrospective was in 1983.

The show will borrow iconic works from other institutions, such as Colville’s 1953 painting Horse and Train, owned by the Art Gallery of Hamilton, as well as works from the AGO’s own collection. Colville was born in Toronto, but moved to Nova Scotia as a child. He lived and worked there the rest of his life. He died in Wolfville at 92 on July 16.

Works in the exhibition owned by the AGO will number less than a dozen out of nearly 100, but will include such famous pieces as Woman In Bathtub, from 1973, and Woman On A Ramp, from 2006-07. The AGO owns nine Colville paintings, and dozens of sketches and serigraph prints.

The show will run until January 2015.
