The National Gallery of Jamaica announces the opening of the inaugural exhibition of the Guy McIntosh Donation, on Sunday, April 10, 2011 at 11 am. The exhibition will feature a group of more than 80 works of art by Jamaican and other artists recently donated to the National Gallery by the noted art dealer and collector, Guy McIntosh, who is the operator of the Frame Centre Gallery. The Guy McIntosh Donation exhibition will be declared open by Cultural Heritage Specialist and Editor of Arts Jamaica, Margaret Bernal.
Guy McIntosh started framing art in the 1960s and worked closely with leading artists and collectors of that time, such as A.D. Scott, Barrington Watson and Karl Parboosingh. By the mid 1980s, his Frame Centre Gallery had become one of those spaces were the course of contemporary Jamaican art was being plotted, by means of the artists who exhibited and gathered there and the patrons who supported their work, all guided by the innovative vision of Mr McIntosh and his then gallery curator, Margaret Bernal. Mr McIntosh also became a major collector who acquired a comprehensive collection of work by modern and contemporary artists such as Milton George, Omari Ra, Barrington Watson, Milton Harley, Kofi Kayiga, Carol Crichton, Cecil Cooper, Fitz Harrack, Stanford Watson, David Boxer, Netifnet Maat and Byron Bowden, who are all well represented in the Guy McIntosh Donation.
