Letter to Robert Burke from the Art Canada Institute

 

Dear Robert,

 

On behalf of Sara Angel, Executive Director at the Art Canada Institute, Ian Thom, author of Takao Tanabe: Life & Work, and everyone at the ACI, we are grateful for the permission you provided to reproduce your painting Looking Through the Institution.

 

I am delighted to let you know that this publication (linked above) is now live. Like all 60+ books in ACI’s Online Art Book Project, it is available free of charge, in both French and English. This makes Tanabe’s incredible art accessible to audiences around the world. A print edition of the book is forthcoming in Spring 2024.

 

Again, with best wishes and sincere appreciation for your assistance in helping us realize this project! 

 

Philip
