Description
More a library than a gallery, this downtown institution is dedicated to cataloguing all the modern art being produced in Montreal and across the country. Its collection consists of 5,000 artists' portfolios, periodicals, CD-ROMS and a huge collection of exhibition catalogues and other books. Artexte has published several companions to modern art, and participates in many intriguing side projects: one is attempting to document public art in Quebec since 1964, even those long since washed away.
