David Mirvish Books on Art



There is a sad rumor floating around out there that David Mirvish Books on Art is closing. This is really bad news for the Toronto Art scene. DMBA is an important institution, no U of T art student that I know has spent a year at school without having to trek over to Mirvish Village to buy text books. And even if you don't have something specific in mind, you can lose yourself in the racks at DMBA. And yes that is a Frank Stella in the picture, wonder what David Mirvish is going to do with it when the bookstore closes.

Possibly the worst time to sell that large Stella!

it's true. I hope that Mirvish has the foresight not to sell. He seems pretty savvy, so let's hope that Stella isn't going anywhere, and that it will still be on display for the public
