+: In November 2009, several of Perehudoff's murals were successfully removed from the executive suite in the former Intercontinental Packers plant. Perehudoff painted them in 1950, and the abstract silhouettes are considered the last remaining examples of purist cubist art from that period. Appraised at $250,000, the murals had been at risk as the plant was slated for demolition. Ian Hodkinson, a retired art conservator, was brought in and used a special method to remove the acrylic paint from the plaster intact. The murals will remain in storage until the proposed Art Gallery of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon is built. They will be displayed in a special antechamber, built to the same dimensions as the boardroom in which they first existed.
