MY 40 YEARS WITH INUIT ART 1978 • • • • • • •

1990

The phone call from Ontario’s Office of the Public Trustee to Waddington’s in 1978 requesting our services to inventory and sell the gallery stock of the Eskimo House Gallery, as well as the personal collection of the gallery’s recently deceased owner, William Eccles, set me off on what was to become 40 years (and counting) of my involvement with Inuit art. Looking back through the thousands of wonderful pieces, exciting auction room dramas, those early collections and all the fascinating people - it was without a doubt an amazing and timely opportunity. I’m very proud of Waddington’s track record of Inuit art auctions and the impact they have had: providing a forum to bring together the original collectors with the new; the many records achieved; consistently demonstrating market strength and – spreading the good word about Inuit art to expand an appreciative audience. At this end of my career I also reflect on the many exceptional people I have had the privilege to learn from and work with, who I am indebted to for generously sharing their knowledge and experiences when I needed it. The early gallery owners who provided guidance and built the commercial foundation; the passionate and visionary early collectors who recognized the uniqueness, strength and beauty of this art form; and the dedicated public servants throughout the north and the south – sadly many of whom have since passed away.

Inuit Art Auction

The Global Positioning System (GPS) was launched. The top song was Night Fever by the BeeGee’s. Best picture went to Annie Hall. Minimum wage in Canada was $2.60 per hour. Montreal won the Stanley Cup. Eliyakota’s Field of Birds graced that year’s Cape Dorset Graphic catalogue. Kosmos 954, a USSR satellite broke up over the Canadian Arctic scattering radioactive material. Waddington’s offers The William Eccles Collection of Inuit art.

JOHN ROBERTSON Provided a crash course on Inuit art while helping me sort out the hundreds of Eccles pieces in 1978. GEORGE SWINTON Agreed to write the forward in The Eccles Collection Auction catalogue and was very generous with his time and knowledge as I fumbled through my first auctions. His book was my guiding source while trying to identify those early pieces. BUDD FEHELEY Friend, mentor and inspiration, not only with Inuit art but in the art of business and enjoying life. Budd was one of a kind. TERRY RYAN Best of times – Terry and Budd would come to Waddington’s and help me identify early Cape Dorset pieces – of course with a splash of Irish whiskey on the side. JOE MURPHY I always visited Joe when I was in Vancouver looking for pieces. The Inuit Gallery was very close to Sam Houston’s apartment in Gastown – and it was the 80’s! FAYE SETTLER It was always stimulating talking Inuit art (and anything else) with Faye. She had great energy.


AV ISAACS It was a privilege to be able to call one of Canada’s most important and influential art dealers a friend. I spent a week in 1998 with Av in the backroom of the John Street gallery he was closing. We were preparing an auction that would offer many of the items left over from the many diverse shows he had held: “From The Catacombs: Elements of Avrom Isaacs’ 30 Years of Wanderings”. JAMES & ALMA HOUSTON I spent a week in 1981 assisting Alma prepare her new gallery, Houston North Gallery in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, painting walls, filling display cases and framing pieces. I can even claim a credit in a Houston film when I assisted Jim on a film shoot in Cape Dorset in 1998 about his father. LORNE BALSHINE There was nothing like being a good buddy of Lorne’s in the 1980’s - great times out on the town in Vancouver and setting auction records with him in Toronto. FRED COMAN The quintessential, self-made Arctic entrepreneur in Frobisher Bay (Iqaluit). A good friend, my Arctic fishing guide, and a reliable source of Henry bears, Nooveya musk oxen and other similar works throughout the 80’s. Fred was a very active community member in Iqaluit and has a street named after him there. RAYMOND LAM The unlikely owner of Toachen Art Gallery in Yellowknife, the entrepreneurial Raymond arrived in Yellowknife via Vancouver in the early 80’s. A slightlybuilt young man from China, in Yellowknife he was often teased about being a “skinny Eskimo”. He was a great source of Charlie Ugyuk, Zeke Makichuk and Malle pieces, among many others. STANLEY ZAZELENCHUK Stanley was a visionary champion of the minimalist Keewatin sculptors when everyone else was buying Henry bears and Noveya Ipeelie musk oxen. He was an outspoken advocate for these artists and their pieces which would eventually rise to be some of

the most sought after. A total character with strong opinions and a great sense of humour – I always looked forward to seeing him at our auction previews. DR. WILLIAM TAYLOR JR. Dr. Taylor was an archaeologist, Arctic scholar, and the Director of The Museum of Man who generously offered advice, and information when I really needed it in the early 80s. It was always an experience chatting with him in his office in the museum’s original home at the Victoria Memorial Museum Building in Ottawa. PAT FURNEAUX After being the Government administrator in Povungnituk in the 1960’s, Pat was full of stories about the now famous 1967 fantasy carving competition he had staged, and all the artists of Pov. He was a close friend of Joe Talirunili and worked closely with Charlie Sivuarapik at the co-op. Pat is one of the many characters who should have recorded their Arctic experiences in a book. NICK LEBESSIS Nick was my go-to person for his opinions on the pieces and artists of Arviat (Eskimo Point), having lived in their community for several years and considering them all friends. Nick eventually moved south with his family to open his Inuit art gallery in Lake Louise. As we embark on this 41st year with Inuit art, it is especially rewarding to see what this art form has achieved – being recognized and admired globally as a uniquely Canadian expression – an art form whose artists stand alongside Canada’s greatest. We are very pleased and fortunate to offer such a powerful collection this season. I look forward to talking with you about all the pieces at our preview.

What is it about “The Enchanted Owl?” For close to sixty years, it has been the most famous and recognizable image in the Inuit art canon. For many of those years, it held the record for the highest price paid at auction for an Inuit print. Widely reproduced, most visibly on a Canadian postage stamp, its popularity puts it in the same league with such Canadian art icons as Tom Thompson’s “The Jack Pine.” In fact, if you Google “most famous Canadian visual artists”, Kenojuak Ashevak appears in such august company as Emily Carr, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Mary Pratt and David Milne. Why is The Enchanted Owl so enchanting, after all these years? John Westren, in his clever and insightful essay, “Toward the Millennium,” published in “Cape Dorset Prints: A Retrospective,” says that it may be the perfect print, suggesting “almost endless possibilities of charm and delight.” He goes on to say, however, that it is a product of its time, “belonging to the overall world of 1960 design and culture.” Perhaps, but in my experience, people still love this image. It may be wistful and wishful thinking that we project onto the images we love, but for many reasons, Kenojuak’s “Enchanted Owl” continues to charm and delight. The image is a study in striking contrasts. The bold, two-colour division; the exaggerated plumage radiating from the body of a small owl; the oversized and powerful talons contrasted with the pleasing face of the young owl, whose eyes engage the viewer with an intelligent, curious gaze. It adds up to an image that is, as many have noted, “compositionally perfect.” These are the hallmarks of Kenojuak’s signature style. She was never a realist, but, like most Inuit, she had keen powers of observation developed over a lifetime of living on the land and among the birds and animals that she loved to draw. She was often asked if she had a favourite print, and she always answered, “my Enchanted Owl.” It was the only print she proudly displayed in her home in Cape Dorset. I have had the pleasure of visiting Kenojuak at her home many times, and I think “The Enchanted Owl” is a reflection of the woman herself: strong, authentic, enduring and enchanting. Leslie Boyd, Owner and Director, Inuit Fine Art Gallery, Port Hope October 2018

171 PARR (1893-1969), ᐸ, CAPE DORSET / KINNGAIT UNTITLED (WALRUS HUNT)

coloured pencil drawing, unframed 20 x 26 in — 50.8 x 66 cm $3,000—5,000

NOTE: “Parr’s graphic images are best described as naïve. In the spring of 1961, I introduced Parr to drawing on paper. At that time, he was living to the north of the very small settlement of Cape Dorset at a place known as Tessikjakjuak. His initial efforts, using a graphite pencil, were done on a large format, spiral sketch pad. From the very first, he was obviously intrigued and totally committed to the undertaking, for he drew on both sides of the sheets, completely filling the very sizeable area. …Parr’s early drawings had a narrative theme, and his work continued in this vein throughout his brief but very prolific career. His figures, whether of man or beast, were direct and uninhabited. The sizes of the individual images done on the planar surface were directly related to the significance in his mind and not to any perspective representation.” Terrence Ryan, Cape Dorset, N.W.T., July 1979 Parr, 1893—1969, A Print Retrospective, Kingait Press 1979

Like his brother, Johnny Inukpuk, he was a serious artist. According to Darlene Wight, curator of Inuit Art at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, Elijassiapik was likely not a very prolific carver as few of his works can be found in collections. His three sons, Harry, Simeonie, and Eli, were also carvers.

NOTE: Stanley and Jean knew the Iksiktaaryuk family well and Jean remembers that the children visited their house often in Baker Lake. They had moved there in 1971 and after unpacking their belongings, their first stop was a shopping trip at the Sanavik Co-op, where they would meet Sheila and Jack Butler, founders of the Co-op and other special art projects in the region. Jean recalls that Jack Butler regarded Iksiktaaryuk’s work very highly and much of it was reserved for southern galleries. This work was one of 500 sculptures and 100 graphics on loan to the Winnipeg Art Gallery. The Zazelenchuk Collection was widely regarded as one of the most diverse and rich, highlighting artwork from Belcher Islands, Great Whale River, Baker Lake and Rankin inlet.

stone 22 x 10 x 17 in — 55.9 x 25.4 x 43.2 cm PROVENANCE: Private Collection, California $10,000—15,000

NOTE: “The story of Natturalik related the well-known Inuit legend of a young woman who was abducted by an eagle and taken to the bird’s nesting area on the top of a high cliff. The girl became the eagle’s wife, but she eventually escaped. She secretly saved the skins of animals the eagle brought to her for food and wove them into a long rope that enabled her to climb down the cliff to supposed safety... The girl tried to escape from Natturalik by boat with her father, but the eagle causes a terrible storm. To save himself, the father throws his daughter into the waves...where she sinks to the bottom and lives on as the powerful sea spirit (Sedna).” It is confirmed by the artist himself that his bird spirits are in fact depictions of Natturalik, a name that translates as Golden Eagle in Inuktitut. The powerful bird is often portrayed eating prey, as in this lot, perhaps devouring the head of Sedna’s father.

In other words, I am not trying to show what anything looks like in the material world. I am just concentrating on placing it down on paper in a way that is pleasing to my own eye, whether it has anything to do with subjective reality or not. And that is how I have tried to make my images and that is still how I do it and I haven’t really thought about it in any other way than that.

graphite drawing, framed 20 x 25.75 in — 50.8 x 65.4 cm $3,000—5,000

NOTE: “Parr was an elderly man when his artistic career began, and from the outset he suffered bouts of senility. Impaired hearing also affected detailed verbal communication, although it was not in Parr’s nature to comment seriously on his drawings. Fellow Cape Dorset artists failed to show any appreciation for his work, but nevertheless he persisted in his endeavours until just shortly before his death. In his humble fashion, Parr would sit simply on his sleeping platform, balancing sheets of paper on his outstretched legs, drawing intently, and peering through eyeglasses that never seemed to fulfill their function to his satisfaction. By January 1969, Parr was no longer able to draw, yet in those few years as an artist he had executed over two thousand drawings. They remain as a testament today to a man anxious to record a fading way of life which he had shared.” Terrence Ryan, Parr, 1893—1969, A Print Retrospective, Kingait Press, Cape Dorset, N.W.T., Pg. 5, 1979.

His first visit to Cape Dorset was at the age of ten on a trading trip with his family. He had lived all of his early life in camp in a manner similar to those who derived their living from the land.

Etungat has always been an independent soul, outspoken and capable as both a hunter and sculptor. He settled in Cape Dorset in the early 1960s having lived just prior to that north of Cape Dorset and the Hantzsch River in Foxe Basin. His first carvings were small and compact and often then as now depicted birds. His present style of carving has developed over these past few years resulting in the bird with raised wings being often copied by fellow artists. The Devonian Foundation of Calgary commissioned him to provide a maquette from which they created a heroic-sized bird image that was cast in bronze and is located in Toronto at the Ryerson Parkette (Yonge & Dundas). Etungat is today a man little involved in hunting given his health and age. He is a carver who is generally engaged in creating works of considerable power. He takes pride in his creations and will not bring a piece of sculpture to the co-operative that does not meet his standards of quality and creativity.” Terrence P. Ryan, Abraham Etungat, Sculpture

And making open reference to this broader intertextual context of sources and influences recurs throughout Massie’s work, as in tea with Pablo (1997). Massie estimates that his own style of distortion owes as much to Picasso as to Inuit shamanism...” “Massie was named a member of the Order of Canada in September 2018... honoured for pushing the boundaries of Inuit art for people to look at things differently... Massie was titled as a trailblazer for going against the grain and working with materials that in his early career were not considered for Inuit art, especially metals. He said when he came on the scene in the 1980s with Inuit art, there were only three major mediums considered which included stone carving, print making and tapestry... Massie’s silverwork and sculptures have received national and international accolades and his investiture to the Order of Canada in Ottawa makes his career and standing up for what he believed in worth it all.” Frank Gale, The Western Star, Published: Sept 07, 2018. 42

TERRY RYAN The right man in the right place at the right time – that was Terry Ryan in Cape Dorset. James Houston, in the 1950’s, had famously sparked an art movement in the eastern Canadian Arctic. But it was Terry’s passion, talent and determination that brought this fledgling movement to life and drove it to the heights and world-wide recognition it enjoys today. It was his thoughtful, quiet approach and his ability to recognize and inspire artistic talent that resulted in so many wonderful Inuit artists coming to the fore. His contribution not only to the Inuit people, their economy and culture – but to Canada itself – is profound and long lasting. His legacy is the thousands of Inuit sculptures and graphics in homes, museums and galleries, and the legions of Inuit art enthusiasts around the world. Waddington’s is privileged to offer select pieces from his personal collection.

His precise and delicate line work combined with the free, natural form of the antler gives his work a sense of fluid movement. His images are often concerned with sea life and traditional Inuit hunting implements and clothing, particularly the kamik (boot). The kamik is often repeated many times on a particular work. Enooky has a keen sensitivity to the placement of these graphic elements within the positive and negative shape of the antler, making him one of the most sophisticated artists in this medium.” Enooky (Innuki Oqutaq), Image of the Inuit, exhibition brochure, Los Angeles, California, 1981.

They used to hunt the caribou covered with caribou skin, pretending to be caribou. They hunted with a bow and arrow before they used the rifle. This man has built a stone blind and waited inside it. You can see those blinds to this day. A lot of hunters disguised themselves in that way. Some of them were shot by arrow accidentally because there were so many hunting at the same time. All of those men died. (Lipa’s commentary in the 1976 Pangnirtung print catalogue) Inuit Art in the 1970’s, Agnes Etherington Art Centre, 1979, page 77, plate 60. This image was selected for reproduction on a Canadian postage stamp in 1977.

Buying & Selling at Waddington's All lots will be offered and sold subject to the Conditions of Sale which appear in this catalogue as well as any Glossary and posted or oral announcement. By bidding at auction, bidders are bound by those Conditions and Glossary, as amended by any oral announcement or posted notices, which together form the contract of sale between the successful bidder (buyer), Waddington’s™ and the consignor (seller) of the lot. Descriptions or photographs of lots are not warranties and each lot is sold “as is” in accordance with the Conditions of Sale. CONDITION OF LOTS All of the items are to be considered, unless otherwise noted in the description, in good condition. The definition of “good” when used in reference to condition, describes an object as having had no major damage or repair but as with the nature of the material, may show minor surface wear, discolouration etc., which indicates the acceptable wear that the piece may acquire with age. If you are particular about minor flaws, you should examine the pieces in person or have our staff answer any questions before bidding. Sizes are approximate. It is the sole responsibility of the bidder to inquire as to the condition of a lot before bidding. Condition reports are available upon request by phone, fax, email or in person. You are advised to make any requests well in advance of the sale. Frames on artwork are not included as part of purchase or condition. BUYERS PREMIUM A premium of 20% of the successful bid price of each lot. A charge of 13% HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) is applicable on the hammer price and buyer’s premium, except for purchases exported from Canada. In the case where purchases are shipped out of the province of Ontario, the HST or GST is charged based on the tax status of that province. PAYMENT Payment for purchases must be by cash, INTERAC direct debit (Cdn clients in person only), certified cheque (U.S. & Overseas not applicable), travelers cheque, bank draft, electronic transfer (fee applies), VISA or Mastercard (up to $25,000).

Conditions of Sale 1. All lots are sold “AS IS”. Any description issued by the auctioneer of an article to be sold is subject to variation to be posted or announced verbally in the auction room prior to the time of sale. While the auctioneer has endeavoured not to mislead in the description issued, and the utmost care is taken to ensure the correct cataloguing of each item, such descriptions are purely statements of opinion and are not intended to constitute a representation to the prospective purchasers and no warranty of the correctness of such description is made. An opportunity for inspection of each article is offered prior to the time of sale. No sale will be set aside on account of lack of correspondence of the article with its description or its reproduction, if any, whether colour or black & white. Some lots are of an age and/or nature which preclude their being in pristine condition and some catalogue descriptions make reference to damage and/or restoration. The lack of such a reference does not imply that a lot is free from defects nor does any reference to certain defects imply the absence of others. Frames on artwork are not included as part of purchase or condition. It is the responsibility of prospective purchasers to inspect or have inspected each lot upon which they wish to bid, relying upon their own advisers, and to bid accordingly. 2. Each lot sold is subject to a 20% buyers premium as part of the purchase price. 3. Unless exempted by law, the buyer is required to pay Harmonized Sales Tax on the total purchase price including the buyer’s premium. For international buyers, taxes are not applicable when purchases are shipped out of country. Items shipped out of Ontario, the buyer is required to pay taxes as per the tax status of that province, whether it HST or GST (Goods and Services Tax). 4. The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot from sale at any time, to divide any lot or to combine any two or more lots at his sole discretion, all without notice. 5. The auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid and to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion. The auctioneer reserves the right not to accept and not to reject any bid. Without limitation, any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance over the previous bid may not be recognized.

6. Each lot may be subject to an unpublished reserve which may be changed at any time by agreement between the auctioneer and the consignor. The auctioneer may bid, or direct an employee to bid, on behalf of the consignor as agreed between them. In addition, the auctioneer may accept and submit absentee and telephone bids, to be executed by an employee of the auctioneer, pursuant to the instructions of prospective purchasers not in attendance at the sale. 7. The highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer for any lot shall be the buyer and such buyer shall forthwith assume full risk and responsibility for the lot and must comply with such other Conditions of Sale as may be applicable. If any dispute should arise between bidders the auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to designate the buyer or, at his option, to withdraw any disputed lot from the sale, or to re-offer it at the same or a subsequent sale. The auctioneer’s decision in all cases shall be final. 8. Immediately after the purchase of a lot, the buyer shall pay or undertake to the satisfaction of the auctioneer with respect to payment of the whole or any part of the purchase price requested by the auctioneer, failing which the auctioneer in his sole discretion may cancel the sale, with or without re-offering the item for sale. 9. The buyer shall pay for all lots within 48 hours from the date of the sale, after which a late charge of 2% per month on the total invoice may be incurred or the auctioneer, in his sole discretion, may cancel the sale. The buyer shall not become the owner of the lot until paid for in full. Items must be removed within 10 days from the date of sale, after which storage charges may be incurred. 10. Each lot purchased, unless the sale is cancelled as above, shall be held by the auctioneer at his premises or at a public warehouse at the sole risk of the buyer until fully paid for and taken away. 11. Notwithstanding condition no. 1, if the buyer, prior to removal of a lot, makes arrangements satisfactory to the auctioneer for the inspection of such lot by a fully qualified person acceptable to the auctioneer to determine the genuineness or authenticity of the lot, to be carried out promptly following the sale of the lot, and if, but only if, within a period of 14 days following the sale a written opinion of such

person is presented to the auctioneer to the effect that the lot is not genuine or authentic, accompanied by a written request by the buyer for rescission of the sale, then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the sale price refunded to the buyer. 12. Payment for purchases must be by cash, INTERAC direct debit (Cdn clients in person only), certified cheque (U.S. & Overseas not applicable), travelers cheque, bank draft, electronic transfer (fee applies), and VISA or Mastercard (up to $25,000). 13. In the event of failure to pay for or remove articles within the aforementioned time limit, the auctioneer, without limitation of the rights of the consignor and the auctioneer against the buyer, may resell any of the articles affected, and in such case the original buyer shall be responsible to the auctioneer and the consignor for: (a) any deficiency in price between the re-sale amount and the amount to have been paid by the original buyer; (b) any reasonable charge by the auctioneer for the storage of such articles until payment and removal by the subsequent buyer; and (c) the amount of commission which the auctioneer would have earned had payment been made in full by the original buyer. 14. It is the responsibility of the buyer to make all arrangements for insuring, packing and removing the property purchased and any assistance by the auctioneer or his servants, agents or contractors, in packing or removal shall be rendered as a courtesy and without any liability to them. 15. The auctioneer acts solely as agent for the consignor and makes no representation as to any attribute of, title to, or restriction affecting the articles consigned for sale. Without limitation, the buyer understands that any item bought may be affected by the provisions of the Cultural Property Export Act (Canada). 16. The auctioneer reserves the right to refuse admission to the sale or to refuse to recognize any or all bids from any particular person or persons at any auction.
