Provenance:

The Stanley and Jean Zazelenchuk Collection, NB

Note:

Jean Zazelenchuk recalled that in 1978 when this sculpture was created, Kavik lived with his son (Thomas Ugyuk) and his son’s family.

While southern buyers did not understand or appreciate his work, Stanley loved Kavik and his artwork, resulting in the Zazelenchuks owning a large collection of Kavik’s works.
