What are a museum’s responsibilities when showing the work of a commercially popular artist considered less than great by critics and the art cognoscenti? Sarah Milroy says that whatever those responsibilities may be, they’ve clearly been abdicated by Ontario’s McMichael Collection in a new exhibition of the work of Robert Bateman. “Bateman has chosen to do many constructive things with his fame, and that is to be admired. But let’s get serious. Our arts institutions are empowered and funded to educate members of the public, not pander to their ignorance in pursuit of a quick profit.”
