Cowley Abbott Auction House Biography and Notes

Born in Toronto, Ontario, Gladstone started drawing at the age of eleven. He left school in the seventh grade but continued his own self education. Over the years he did many things but worked mainly in the field of advertising and was employed by the MacLaren Advertising Company. He did his first piece of sculpture in 1956 following his visit to Gordon Rayner's solo show at the Art Gallery of Toronto. He studied welding for a number of months and by 1957 held his first solo exhibit at the Art Gallery of Toronto. As a result the Gallery purchased his work entitled "Female Galaxy". In 1958 he exhibited at the Isaacs Gallery, Toronto, and at the Greenwich Art Gallery when the late Pearl McCarthy notes "Gerald Gladstone's exhibition . . . includes steel sculptures. It is a harsh medium, but in pieces like 'Marine' Mr. Gladstone manages to boss the medium into a real abstraction of wind, seals, waves and elements." By this time wider attention was being given his work; he held another solo show at the Isaacs Gallery in 1959 and completed two important commissions in Toronto.
