Lot Report

Provenance:

In 1975, the consigner traveled to Cape Dorset with the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada) to assess the stability of the paper being used by the artists. It was during this time that he acquired a number of graphic works, this being one of them.
