The Zwig Foundation Collection Details
While Helen and Walter Zwig made their life in Toronto, they shared a fearlessness and taste for adventure that led them far afield. America and Europe, but also the South Pacific and South and Central America, which they traversed by sailboat. Over the course of thirty years – before satellite and cellphones – they circumnavigated the globe by sea, often alone for long stretches of time. Sailing was one means by which they were able to explore the unknown. Art was another. Helen and Walter had a habit of learning about and purchasing artworks on these voyages – an interest they brought back with them to Canada. We are thrilled to share that art with the city they so loved, and hope the Helen & Walter Zwig Foundation Collection will be a living legacy for two individuals as idiosyncratic as the deeply personal collection they amassed.Helen and Walter first arrived in Toronto in 1947. Walter would become a visionary developer who helped initiate the city's post-war building boom. He passed away in 2017, after Helen in 2012.
