Art Galley of Peterborough acquires Queen Elizabeth II portrait from Memorial Centre
The painting, which measures eight feet by 12 feet, was commissioned by the Major Bennett Chapter of the IODE for the Memorial Centre to commemorate the group’s 60th anniversary with matching funds from a Wintario Grant.
The artwork was recently relocated to the gallery’s storage vault. There it will be cleaned and integrated into the permanent collection. Current city councillor Alex Bierk, chair of the city’s arts, culture and heritage portfolio, said his father’s artwork was a huge part of his childhood. His brother Zac was a former Peterborough Petes player. David Bierk is also the father of Sebastian Bach, former lead singer of the band Skid Row.
Briefly in 2003, the painting was removed from its original location due to arena renovations. However, public protest saw the portrait rehung.
