Lot Report

Provenance:

Collector worked for the Canadian Eskimo Arts Council.

Note:

“We become inextricably involved with this whirling, swirling dance of spirits in which the spatial elements carefully balance the rhythm of circling forms. The dogs, always aware of spiritual visitations, see it all.”
from Furneaux, Patrick and Leo Rosshandler, Ernst Roch, ed., Art of the Eskimo: Prints, Signum Press, 1974, pp. 34-5
