"Norman Leibovitch devoted his life to painting. Now his work is deteriorating inside two dimly lit storage units, in danger of perishing."

It is not clear which of the two canvases, both identical in size, was shown in the April 1930 Group of Seven exhibition as Mountains, Moraine Lake, Alberta but they differ considerably. In both canvases the mountains, identified by Lisa Christensen, author of A Hiker’s Guide to the Rocky Mountain Art of Lawren Harris, as The Ten Peaks above Moraine Lake, occupy the centre of the composition and rise from the water in the foreground. Clouds play above the snowy, cupped peaks.

Alan Klinkhoff Gallery is proud to announce a diverse program of events presented in our Montreal and Toronto galleries.

Inspired by our own histories as fine art dealers and amateur hockey players, Alan Klinkhoff Gallery is pleased to present Fine Art & Hockey: A Point of View, an exhibition of fine Canadian paintings featuring hockey. The works of art, none of which are for sale, are on loan from private, corporate and institutional collections. 

The student artists from the Lower Canada College Class of 2016 are incredibly grateful for the oppourtunity to display their art at the Alan Klinkhoff Gallery. All the pieces required a lot of time and effort and the students are proud to display their artwork in hopes that it will demonstrate the importance of arts education and their passion for the arts.

With the exhibition 1920s Modernism in Montreal, The Beaver Hall Group opening at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, it is our intention to complement the exposure the exhibition gives to these fine artists by offering for sale some outstanding and important works by several of these artists at the Alan Klinkhoff Gallery in Toronto and at klinkhoff.ca. 

On March 28, 2015, Galerie Alan Klinkhoff celebrated one full year at 1448 Sherbrooke Street West. It has been a very special one from a number of perspectives.
