UNIDENTIFIED INUIT ARTIST, EASTERN CANADIAN ARCTIC, Resting Caribou, c. 1960s / 70s

Item Details

Description

UNIDENTIFIED INUIT ARTIST, EASTERN CANADIAN ARCTIC
Resting Caribou, c. 1960s or 1970s
stone and antler, 8 x 10.5 x3 in (20.3 x 26.7 x 7.6 cm)
unsigned.

Provenance
Private Collection, USA.

We have not been able to determine an artist or even a community for this splendid Resting Caribou. The sculpture looks like it was carved by a highly skilled and sensitive artist. It is the kind of work that we can imagine a young Paul Malliki creating; we even considered Henry Evaluardjuk as a possibility. In the end, of course, an attribution is not really crucial; the work is a stunningly beautiful work of art.

References: For a lovely Feeding Caribou, c. 1965, possibly by Henry Evaluardjuk, see Walkerâ€™s Auctions, May 2013, Lot 175. For lovely depictions of caribou by Paul Malliki see Walkerâ€™s Auctions, Nov. 2017, Lot 240; Nov. 2016, Lot 224; Nov. 2015, Lot 238.
