Diaz Contemporary
Diaz Contemporary continually proves itself a cutting edge gallery,
particularly in terms of the abstract artists it represents. In form,
colour and concept the artists continue to develop abstract art where
many thought there was no room left to do. Every show is engaging and
worth the trip to Niagara Street.

Diaz Contemporary
Diaz Contemporary opened in 2005, with an inaugural exhibition of work
by Canadian and Mexican contemporary artists. The exhibition set the tone
and agenda for the gallery’s future programming, designed to showcase a
range of artists from both countries.
Located in downtown Toronto, in a newly renovated post-industrial building, Diaz Contemporary's space is well suited for exhibiting a range of media including sculpture, painting, drawing, photography and media based work. The space houses two gallery rooms that are used to present one larger show or two simultaneous exhibitions.
The gallery has become a forum for further expanding the critical dialogue of the international art world on a local level. With a roster of emerging, mid-career and senior artists, gallery director Benjamin Diaz is committed to fostering the careers of his select artists as he continuously presents critically engaging contemporary work.

Birch Librarlato
In September 2005, Robert Birch Gallery Ltd. started operating as Birch
Libralato, with Robert Birch taking Patrizia Libralato, former Associate
Director of Sable-Castelli Gallery, on as a partner. Birch Libralato
opened their new 2700 square foot space in one of Toronto’s most
exciting art districts; Queen Street West.
The partnership continues to promote and sell the very best Canadian contemporary art to both Canadian and International collectors and museums through a strong gallery program schedule and participation in national and international art fairs.
The gallery represents young to mid-career and established Canadian and International contemporary artists.
Birch Libralato was the first gallery to represent noted international artists such as EUAN MACDONALD (Western Bridge solo show 2010, Yerba Buena solo show 2011) video artist KELLY RICHARDSON (Hirshhorn Museum 2008, 2009 "New Frontiers" Sundance Film Festival and in 2011, four videos are being included in the festival) and LUIS JACOB (2011: Museum of Contemporary Art, Toronto, 2010: Dance with Camera, Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Contemporary Art Museum, Houston; Guggenheim Museum, New York City; Guggenheim Museum Bilbao; Documenta XII 2007, solo exhibitions at Kunstverin Hamburg and group show Barbican, U.K. 2008). Many of these relationships date back to the early 90’s and confirm the gallery’s commitment to fostering careers of emerging artists.
An important component of the gallery program is to invite artists we do not represent to participate in group and/or solo shows. In 2007, 2008 and 2010 a few of the invited artists included the following internationally known artists: Evan Penny, David Altmejd and Arthur Duff.
