Milly Ristvedt

Milly Ristvedt RCA, also known as Milly Ristvedt-Handerek, is a Canadian abstract painter. A monograph covering a ten-year retrospective of her work, Milly Ristvedt-Handerek: Paintings of a Decade, was published by the Agnes Etherington Art Centre in 1979. In 2017, a second monograph was published by Oeno Gallery which included a survey of paintings from 1964 through to 2016, Milly Ristvedt, Colour and Meaning : an incomplete palette. Ristvedt studied at the Vancouver School of Art from 1961 to 1964, and later attained a master's degree in Art History from Queen's University, with her thesis, "Reinhardt, Martin, Richter: Colour in the Grid of Contemporary Painting." Ristvedt began her art practice in Toronto in 1964 and had her first exhibition there in 1968 with the Carmen Lamanna Gallery. Since 1968 Ristvedt has had more than fifty solo exhibitions, including a travelling ten-year survey exhibition in 1979 organized by the Agnes Etherington Art Centre. She has been featured in multiple publications including Abstract Painting in Canada (Nasgaard, 2007).
