Lot description - from the online catalogue*
Joseph Pettick was born in Hungary in 1924 and immigrated in 1927 with his mother to join his father on a farm in the Kipling area before moving to Regina during the Depression. After World War II Pettick apprenticed with the Portnall and Stock architectural firm, in Regina, and he established his own architectural practice in 1955. Pettick's firm built a reputation for innovative design and attention to detail. His body of work spanned more than 400 projects, including four icons of the Regina skyline: Bank of Montreal (1981), City Hall (1976), SGI Tower (1974) and the SaskPower Building (1963). As a painter, Pettick worked mostly in abstract and structuralist styles, and held several exhibitions in the 1970s and 80s.
