Description

Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Downtown, Halifax, Nova Scotia. "Bird of Spring". This robust bronze sculpture sits in Ondaatje Court, an outdoor sculpture garden between the art gallery's two buildings that's named for Sir Christopher Ondaatje, a retired merchant banker, Olympic bobsledder and benefactor of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. It's one of four copies of a small soapstone carving by Inuit artisan Abraham Etungat that were commissioned by the Devonian Group, a charitable foundation based in Calgary that underwrites public art installations, parks, and historic preservation projects. The other three are located at Connaught Park in Calgary, at Robson Square in Vancouver, and on the campus of Ryerson University in Toronto.
