About the Collectors
Woman with Child Meditating is one of eighteen works in the present auction from a pioneering and important Toronto collection of Inuit art, the S. Family Collection.
Distinguished by its remarkable diversity and uniformly high quality, the collection was built on over fifty years of dedication. Acquisitions were made both from the leading dealers and private collectors of the period, as well as directly from artists during several excursions to the north, including to Qamani'tuaq (Baker Lake), and Arviat.
Although the S. Family organized a handful of exhibitions specializing in sculpture, many artworks from their personal collection have remained largely unknown to the collector community.
