The Montship Collection
by Alan KlinkhoffThe principals at Montreal Shipping were highly receptive to suggestions from my father and then me, to acquire works of art we thought appropriate to their theme. James Thom became president in 1974. I have vivid recollections of Mr. Thom’s visits. Mr. Thom always looked at me and made his customary invitation to meet with him at the office on the next Saturday morning, “for a hanging,” he would say with a wide grin. As the walls filled up, those Saturday mornings became more difficult. We would move this to there, that to here and something somewhere else before we found the perfect spot for his new acquisition.
