Hidden treasures seem to abound everywhere we look. Joseph Guardo sculpted a spectacular statue of the Pietà for Saint Joseph's Oratory in Montreal but it is my understanding that it is currently in storage at the Oratory. I think it would be a welcome addition to any Art collection in the world!
We have included photos of Joseph Guardo sculpting in his studio in 1947, and a more recent picture taken by Père André Bergeron of the Oratory in 2006.

May 2018: The Pietà is in display at the Oratory Museum until November 2018, as part of a special exhibit entitled Montréal - Un patrimoine religieux à découvrir. Definitely worth a look.
