The book is a key feature of the portfolio that was part of the Natural Order series release. Burtynsky, together with Nicholas Metivier Gallery in Toronto, are donating $200,000 CAD from the proceeds of the sale of the Natural Order portfolio to the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) and the Ryerson Image Centre (RIC) for the establishment of new acquisition funds dedicated to acquiring the works by emerging to mid-career Canada photographic artists.
Further details regarding this important initiative to support the Canadian photography community during the COVID-19 crisis will be made available in late 2020.
