The Ben-Zion Collection There is a story breathing within these Eskimo and Northwest Coast Indian pieces—a story I want to tell you.

When the artist Ben-Zion befriended Arie Ben-Eli, founder and director of the National Maritime Museum in Israel, they hatched a wild idea to endow a wing with ancient and ethnographic pieces from Ben-Zion’s collection. The relevance of such pieces to a maritime museum seemed eccentric, and grew yet more so when this vision expanded to include Ben-Zion’s own paintings, works on paper, and iron sculpture. These men understood the power of the oceans and bodies of water to connect and enrich humanity in a dance of insemination and cross-pollination. And just as these indigenous peoples living by seas, rivers, and lakes wove art into life, and life into art, so, too, the intense saturation of living- and creating-as-one was braided by Ben-Zion.

When he removed the Eskimo artifacts housed in one of his endless cabinets of wonder, readying them for their voyage, he replaced them with clay concretions gathered from brooks and rivers, streams and seas, and said that these were no less precious to him than the rare Eskimo pieces. He said that the clay concretions were nature’s sculptures, and mounted them, revealing the essentiality of the form.

Knowing something of Ben-Zion’s biography elucidates his approach to what he emphatically declared about “not being a collector.” He was a self-taught artist, erudite but not academic. He lived modestly, gathering around him the endless treasures created by nature and man. He liked to say that things came to him (whether found or bought) while sauntering. The home he shared with his beloved wife, Lillian, was covered wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling—pebbles, minerals, shells, meteorites, driftwood, pre-historic stone tools, ancient sculpture fragments, textiles, masks, hand-forged tools… these comingled with Ben-Zion’s artworks, as if they were in dialogue, as if they emanated from the same wellspring. The commonality was the archaic, primordial quality of things. Lillian would come to describe Ben-Zion as a beachcomber, whether on the shores of woods or city. She laughed as she recalled his going out for a loaf of bread and coming back with a string of ancient beads. He would say that when he held something in his hand, he knew if it wanted to stay. Indeed this was a way of being from his earliest childhood, when he gathered his found treasures under the family piano.

Through nine blessed years of working with him, and in the decades since, I have come to feel more deeply the longing and celebration behind his usual salutation: “here’s to everything beautiful!” It was appreciation and awe. Everything he gathered was a testament to nature and mankind’s urge to breathe spirit into the ordinary matter of existence.

Now, as I hold each piece in my hands, many lives flow into my palms. I wonder, as I hold the Eskimo snow goggles—what eyes peered through them, what inner and outer landscape did these eyes see? What compelled these people, whose daily existence was arduous, to carve symmetry and aesthetic into their functional objects? The figures, the animals—materials and themes so intimately tied to nature and the transient; the shamanistic artifacts pointing to the eternal—perhaps all this ties into mankind’s neverending need to beautify and adorn life with meaning.

As I hold each piece, I feel Ben-Zion’s blessing hand allowing me to absorb what these pieces taught him by encouraging his desire to “touch the origins.” Like the artists/ shamans of these Indian and Eskimo peoples he knew that our existence is enlivened through longing and imagination and the world is created anew through wildness and vision.

As I send these pieces out from this generous home, I pray that the roar of thunder and the flash of lightning of the shaman’s rattle clear the way for each piece to find its home.

6. If the purchaser breaches any of its obligations under these Conditions of Sale, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase price of all items for which it was the highest successful bidder, Skinner Inc. may exercise all of its rights and remedies under the law including, without limitation, (a) canceling the sale and applying any payments made by the purchaser to the damages caused by the purchaser’s breach, and/or (b) offering at public auction, without reserve, any lot or item for which the purchaser has breached any of its obligations, including its obligation to pay in full the purchase price, holding the purchaser liable for any deficiency plus all costs of sale.

7. In no event will the liability of Skinner, Inc. to any purchaser with respect to any item exceed the purchase price actually paid by such purchaser for such item.

8. Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser. Upon request, our staff will provide the list of shippers who deliver to destinations within the United States and overseas. Some property that is sold at auction can be subject to laws governing export from the U.S., such as items that include material from some endangered species. Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of licensing for import or export of goods from local authorities is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of these lots.

9. Sales in Massachusetts, Florida, and New York are subject to the respective current sales taxes. Dealers, museums, and other qualifying parties may be exempt from sales tax upon submission of proper documentation.

10. A premium equal to 23% of the final bid price up to and including $100,000, plus 20% of the final bid price from $100,001 up to and including $1,000,000, plus 12% of the final bid price from $1,000,001 and over will be applied to each lot sold, to be paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price.

11. Bidding on any item indicates your acceptance of these terms and all other terms printed within, posted, and announced at the time of sale whether bidding in person, through a representative, by phone, by Internet, or other absentee bid.

12. Skinner, Inc. and its consignors make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Skinner, Inc. expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in this catalog. The copyright in all images, illustrations and written material produced by or for Skinner, Inc. relating to a lot, including the contents of this catalog, is, and shall remain at all times, the property of Skinner, Inc. and shall not be used by the purchaser, nor by anyone else, without our prior written consent.

13. These conditions of sale shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (excluding the laws applicable to conflicts or choice of law).

The buyer/bidder agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this agreement may be brought, and any action against Skinner in connection with the transactions contemplated by this agreement shall be brought, in the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any federal court sitting therein. The bidder/buyer consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waives objections that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit.
