Lot 72
KUDLALAK, OR KELLYPALIK MANGITAK (1940-)
Provenance:
Private Collection, Winnipeg, MB
Note:
Experts are divided as to whether this work should be attributed to Kudlalak or Kellypalik Mangitak. A carved tusk by the former is believed by James Houston and others to be the source image for this print, while Jonassie Salamonie, Mangitak’s wife and Terry Ryan attribute the print to the latter.
