Marie-Justine’s fifth choice is comprised of the sculptures of the first Symposium international de sculpture en Amérique du Nord (1964) on Mont-Royal, including the following artworks:

–La force, Armand Vaillancourt, Sans titre, Augustin Cardenas, Les sœurs Cardinales de Yerassimo Sklavos, Sans titre de Josef Pillhofer, Sans titre de Krishna Reddy, L’ange de pierre de Pierre Szekely, Sans titre Carlos Sergio Signorini, Optimax de kosso Eloul, Le carrousel sauvage de Louis Chavignier.

During the 1964 symposium, the artists worked simultaneously, without constraints, in a kind of open-air studio, accessible to the public. Today, a collection of 11 pieces can still be found on Mont-Royal.
