The Bill Reid Gallery is at 639 Hornby and we were very interested to see this plaque commemorating The Cave Supper Club. We had been to it once to see Ann Murray but it was quite famous in Vancouver for bringing in some pretty famous people, even Josephine Baker appeared there.
This is what the site is now....pretty typical for Vancouver in current times.
And we were also pleased to see this plaque for Jack Wasserman. We always really enjoyed his column although his replacement, Allan Fotheringham, was excellent as well. We were surprised he only lived to be 50 years old.
The Bill Reid Gallery is pretty amazing in terms of being housed in a wonderful building and also the artwork...really worth a visit. They have a number of videos you can watch on various artists, Susan Point being one of them.
I found these "miniatures" rather interesting and hadn't seen anything like it before.
These next two works are Susan Point. This first one is a glass rattle.
I found these abacus pieces rather fascinating.
This piece of jewelry is by Bill Reid. All gold and diamonds...lots and lot of diamonds!
