Provenance:

Private collection, Toronto, ON

Note:

A classic early musk ox by the artist, exhibiting Barnabus’ seemingly limitless capacity for variation in his sculptural investigations of these massive creatures of the tundra. Lofty and slender, it has been finely balanced and is as stable as many of his more robust and weighty compositions.
