In 1985 the AGO was given the significant contribution of works of art and archival materials from the Loring and Wyle Estate. Frances Gage, sculptor and executor of the estate, also managed to provide a monetary donation for the AGO to purchase a work of contemporary sculpture in the spirit of The Sculpture Fund which she had been trying to fulfil for years. With the donation, AGO acquire Liz Magor's Four Boys and a Girl, 1979. In 1987, there was an exhibition entitled Sculptors Legacy to display the Loring and Wyle Estate gift. The Magor acquisition was shown in tandem with the exhibition.
The Sculpture Fund at AGO has continued this legacy of showing Loring and Wyle works from the collection with works that their Sculpture Fund has purchased. The exhibitions are called Artist to Artist.
