Getting more personal with Leonard Cohen

Sketches on a restaurant napkin, a notebook draft of “Hallelujah”, black and white Polaroid snapshots of his naked chest: Leonard Cohen kept it all for posterity. Julian Cox, the chief curator of the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), convinced the Cohen estate to dig into the icon’s personal treasures and stage a never-before-seen exhibit of the very intimate collection. Everybody Knows runs until April 10 at the AGO, but The CJN Daily scored an exclusive audio tour from the curator. Listen to it online at thecjn.ca/leonard
