Collection
The Vancouver Art Gallery's collection of about 10,000 works of art represents the most comprehensive resource for visual culture in British Columbia. Established in 1931 with the founding of the Gallery, the collection grows by several hundred works every year. It is a principal repository of works produced in this region, as well as related works by other Canadian and international artists.
To celebrate the gallery's 75th anniversary, it published an on-line catalogue that features 75 works from its collection.
