Canadian collector and businessman Bob Rennie has donated 61 works valued at C$22.8 million ($16.8 million) to the National Gallery of Canada (NGC) in Ottawa. The gift, which took 18 months to plan, includes pieces by Yinka Shonibare, Mona Hatoum, Rodney Graham, Ai Weiwei, and others. It surpasses Rennie’s previous record donation of C$13 million in 2017 and brings his total contributions to the NGC to over C$35 million, comprising more than 260 works since 2012. Rennie, a longtime patron of the National Gallery of Canada Foundation, emphasized his approach of collecting artists in depth rather than for momentary sensation.
