Gerald Ferguson (January 29, 1937 – October 8, 2009)[1] was a conceptual artist and painter who lived and taught in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
After receiving his MFA from Ohio University, Ferguson taught at Wilmington College and Kansas City Art Institute before coming to Canada in 1968, invited to teach at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) in Halifax.
[5] Critic Gary Michael Dault describes Ferguson's teaching at NSCAD as a "37-year trajectory...wherein he stubbornly, persuasively tilled the fields of the kind of conceptual art for which the college became primarily known.
His work has been regularly reviewed in national and international art journals and news media.
His estate is represented by Olga Korper Gallery in Toronto and CANADA in New York.
