Don't Forget Rosemarie

This impressive totem carved by Rosemarie Koczy
stands in the foyer of the KHRCA.

Just a few short years ago, the QCC Art Gallery presented an extensive retrospective of the art of Holocaust survivor Rosemarie Koczy, much of whose work is part of the permanent collection of the QCC Art Gallery.


Alas, as commodious as it may be, there's only so much space within the confines of the QCC Art Gallery. Thus, much of the work is no longer on display.


Luckily though, one of Rosemarie's largest and most impressive woodcuts is always viewable upon entering another venerable cultural institution at QCC, namely the KHRCA, which is always worth a visit when you find time.


Additionally, if you want to feel even closer to Rosemarie or her work, you might also consider buying her three volume memoir published under the auspices of the QCC Art Gallery Press.
