Legacy Continues

Regaining other works continues
through his estate, which supports
developing art projects.
Michel Moreault, who served as
Stern's assistant at the Dominion
Gallery, also helped maintain the
Stern legacy by keeping the gallery
in business for 13 years after Stern's
death. That arrangement was part of
Stern's will.

"Max Stern: Collector, Art Dealer
and Patron" gives only a limited
glimpse into Stern's personal hold-
ings, which have been donated to
more than 20 museums.
Concordia University, a primary
beneficiary of the estate, liquidated
the assets of the Dominion Gallery
and sold the building and name to a
new owner, it was reported in the
university magazine. Concordia has
made a long-term commitment to
reclaiming artworks taken by the
Nazis.
Stern's Jewish roots additionally
were remembered and honored
through donations of books to
Hebrew University in Jerusalem. The
university opened the Max and Iris
Stern Gallery on its Mount Scopus
campus.
Concordia also administers the
Max and Iris Stern Museum Legacy
Program to coordinate commemora-
tive projects, including exhibitions,
rare book collections, symposiums
and a biography of the man whose
success meant success for artists, art
enthusiasts and art students as well
as art dealers. ❑

collection are on view in this exhib-
it.
With all the attention given to
Canadian artists, Stern did not aban-
don his background. Reaching back
to his European sensitivities, he also
represented the works of acclaimed
artists beyond the borders of
Canada. He was the first dealer to
sell works by Kandinsky to the
Museum of Modern Art in New
York, and he held the exclusive
rights to sell Rodin's works in
Canada.
During the 1950s, Stern devoted
some of his business energy to sculp-
ture and became the Canadian agent
for Henry Moore, Jean Asp and
Aristide Maillol.
"Stern introduced the idea of lim-
ited contracts to Canadian artists,"
Des Rochers explains. "That made
him the sole representative for the
artists who signed these contracts."
Stern, who earned a doctorate in
art history from the University of
Bonn, worked at gaining back his
family's art holdings taken by the
Nazis before the end of World War
II and met with some success,
