Name of creator
Biographical history
Betty Roodish Goodwin (1923-2008) was a Montreal-based printmaker and installation artist.
Custodial history
A group of 102 printing plates formed the initial archival gift from Betty Goodwin to the AGO, transferred in 2005 and formalized in 2008. The majority of materials now constituting the Betty Goodwin consideration were transferred directly from the artist’s studio to the Art Gallery of Ontario in February 2009. The remaining materials were transferred to the Art Gallery of Ontario in July 2012.
Scope and content
Fonds consists of the archival contents of Betty Goodwin’s studio, including sketchbooks and notebooks in which she drew and recorded inspiration and ideas; loose sketches and notes; found and manufactured objects retained for their aesthetic or inspirational qualities; printing plates; folders containing inspirational found images and the artist’s re-workings of same; photographs of the artist and her work spaces; folders and a maquette relating to proposals for public commissions; a small amount of personal correspondence and publicity material; photographic documentation of her artwork; her numerous awards and honourary degrees; and video documentation of Goodwin’s dance collaborations.
