Postcards from the Heart: Selections from the Brigitte and Henning Freybe Collection also opens on April 18 at the Vancouver Art Gallery. This is a major showcase of works gifted by Vancouver–based collectors Brigitte and Henning Freybe. Featuring more than 30 works by some of the most important European and North American artists working in the last 50 years, Postcards from the Heart will be the largest exhibition dedicated to the Freybe collection presented at a public museum.
A highlight of the exhibition includes the sculptural wall-based work by American artist Robert Rauschenberg. Titled Sea Cow Treaty (Spread) (1977), Rauschenberg’s assemblage encompasses a working water feature with twinned taps that emit red and blue water into conjoined buckets. This is the first time that this impressive work will be shown in a museum.
