The purchase of ''Voice of Fire'' by the National Gallery Of Canada for its permanent collection in 1989 at a cost of $1.8 million caused a storm of controversy as the painting was no more than three strips of paint. Since that time its value has appreciated sharply. A book called ''Voices of Fire: Art Rage, Power, and the State'', edited by Bruce Barber , Serge Guilbaut and John O'Brian and published in 1996 by the University Of Toronto Press , discusses the issues around the purchase of the painting. |
