Lot Report

Note:

“John Kavik exemplifies the spirit of the tundra art. The sculpture of the Keewatin region is characterized by solid, eternal forms, without compromise. The artists of Eskimo Point and Rankin Inlet, by the merger of their unique individual styles, created a distinctive regional mannerism unparalleled in the Arctic.”

Derek Norton, Assistant Director, Inuit Gallery of Vancouver, John Kavik, 1990
