news article from Lethbridge saved by George Dunbar.

Toronto. The other day, George Dunbar sent me an article on the Lethbridge, Alberta ‘High Level Bridge’ over the ‘Oldman River Valley’. The article is illustrated with a photo by the late Toronto photographer Jane Hinton (1936-2020).

Some of Ms Hinton’s work can be seen on the MutualArt website. A brief bio on that site states, “Jane Hinton was a Canadian artist who was born in 1936. Numerous key galleries and museums such as Mira Godard Gallery have featured Jane Hinton’s work in the past. Jane Hinton’s work has been offered at auction multiple times, with realized prices ranging from 251 USD to 262 USD, depending on the size and medium of the artwork. Since 2020 the record price for this artist at auction is 262 USD for CANADIAN CLICHÉ #3, B.C. WOODEN TRESTLE SINGEL, 2003, sold at Waddington’s in 2022. The artist died in 2020.”

George thinks she may have visited at one of our meetings around 2010.
