A favourite for decades on the local scene (she was the one who gave the legendary BamBoo Club its distinctive look), Barbara Klunder is getting her first-ever retrospective exhibition. The range of her work is notable—she has made puppets, purses and sundry sculptural objects—but she is foremost an illustrator. Her style is unmistakable: infused with whimsy, figures are finished with dramatic points, seeming in perpetual motion. It follows that among Klunder’s most well-known professional commissions are the dozens of posters she has made over the years for the Toronto Jazz Festival. Artwork $1,200–$15,000.—David Balzer
