Gerald Gladstone: Gerald Gladstone (1929-2005) was a well known Canadian sculptor and painter, born in Toronto to English born parents. He had his first one-man show at the Toronto Art Gallery in 1957 and after receiving a Canada Council grant in 1961 he was able to study in London at the Royal College of Art. His first London show was held in 1962 at the Molton Gallery. In 1964 he held further solo shows at the Hamilton Galleries in London and at the Graham Gallery in New York. Gladstone's sculpture 'Venus Probe II' was acquired by Loughborough University and exhibited subsequently at the Whitechapel Art Gallery 1967-68. During his time in London Gladstone met Henry Moore and was influenced by his work.

Gerald Gladstone achieved much critical success back home in Canada and received numerous commissions, including for the Montreal Expo 67, a mural for the Cineplex at the Royal Centre in Vancouver, a fountain and bronze sculpture for the Ontario government buildings, and a fountain and precast concrete sculpture for a memorial in California to Martin Luther King. He was given a retrospective by the Art Gallery in Ontario in 2003. Gerald Gladstone's work is held in a number of public collections including in The National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, the University of Toronto, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
