Provenance:

Private collection, Ontario

Note:

Elegant in its simplicity, and notable for the artist’s attention to the essential in her subject, this musk ox by Marie Kuunnuaq exhibits many of the charms associated with her Qamani’tuaq (Baker Lake) contemporary Barnabus Arnasungaaq. A sculpture that although modest in scale is outsized in its visual presence.
