Sir William Van Horne (1843-1915), a gifted connoisseur most
famously associated with the building of the Canadian Pacific
Railway, amassed of one of the most extensive collections of
Japanese ceramics in North America. Obsession is an illuminating
account of the how and why behind his passion for studying and
acquiring nearly 1,200 objects. Ron Graham assembles a profile of
Van Horne's larger-than-life personality as well as essays about
his place at the top of the art collectors in Montreal's Golden
Square Mile and the afterlife of his collection following his
death. Accompanying the texts are historical photographs and
documents, a detailed catalogue of over three hundred individual
pieces in the Royal Ontario Museum and the Montreal Museum of Fine
Arts, and a selection of beautiful reproductions of Van Horne's
personal notebooks and exquisite watercolours from the archives of
the Art Gallery of Ontario. Published in conjunction with a major
exhibition at the Gardiner Museum in Toronto and the Montreal
Museum of Fine Arts, Obsession presents a remarkable collection in
the context of the life and career of a nineteenth-century Canadian
business giant.
