He is associated with the Toronto painters of the Isaac’s Gallery as well as the Heart of London group that included Greg Curnoe, Jack Chambers, and Murray Favro. Since the 60’s Urquhart has taken an independent path focusing on his ‘distinctive’ box format sculpture as well as his painting.*
Tony Urquhart’s first retrospective exhibition was held by the London Regional Art Gallery in 1970. Other retrospective exhibitions were mounted at the Art Gallery of Kitchener(1978) and the Art Gallery of Windsor(1988), both exhibitions travelled extensively from British Columbia to Newfoundland. In 1993, Tony Urquhart had participated in the very important National Gallery of Canada exhibition, The Crisis of Abstraction in Canada, which toured to the Musee du Quebec, Mackenzie Art Gallery, Regina, Glenbow Museum, Calgary, and the Art Gallery of Hamilton, Ontario. His works are in the collections of most major Canadian public art galleries and museums.*
