"The Venetian"

 Germaine Bergeron was born in Ste. Perpetue, Québec in 1933.

"Artist was commissioned to create these works for the House of Seagram art collection for Expo ’67. They were again exhibited at "Man and His World" in 1968. The three figures were created from miscellaneous machinery parts. Following the "Man and His World" exhibition the House of Seagram art collection was dispersed amongst Canadian universities and these figures came to UBC. Formerly located outside the Frederic Wood Theatre."  -- Source: University of British Columbia
