Inuit & First Nations Art
Waddington’s is pleased to present our major Fall 2023 auction of exceptional works of Inuit and First Nations Art. This auction reflects the journey of passionate collectors and enthusiasts, many of whom built collections over decades, selecting artworks rich in aesthetic significance and meaning. This season we are proud to include two very special artworks from the Estate of Kenneth and Eunice Barron. The first is a uniquely detailed and extensively exhibited sculpture by Joe Talirunili (lot 115 in this auction) circa 1976, depicting the artist and his son’s narrow escape in an improvised boat following the disastrous sinking of their Peterhead boat in 1951. The second is an important sculpture, Drum Dance by Karoo Ashevak (lot 130), circa 1974, which has been held in the same collection since the Barrons’ acquisition of this key work at auction in 1975. We are also fortunate to present a selection of 15 rare and fresh to market trial proofs and original drawings by important Kinngait (Cape Dorset) artists from the collection of Terry Ryan, the former art adviser and general manager of the West Baffin Co-operative in Kinngait. This selection (lots 154-168) includes an original print block for James Houston’s iconic 1959 portrait of Niviaksiak (lot 154), and an exceptionally rare and lively print by Kiakshuk, Eskimos Rolling Oil Drums at Shiptime (lot 158), the third of three proofs of this special commission, and the second example known to be offered on the market. The artworks in this auction span historic and 20th century production from Inuit and Northwest Coast artists. Particular highlights include a 19th century moon mask by an unknown Nuxalk or Heiltsuk artist from the Pacific Northwest Coast (lot 173), a forceful early sculpture of a musk ox by Osuitok Ipeelee (lot 141) acquired directly from the artist by collector Red Pedersen circa 1967, a provocative 1996 mixed media composition, The Birth of Knowledge by David Ruben Piqtoukun (lot 146), and a early monumental composition, Many Faces by Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok (lot 137). We hope that you will enjoy the exceptional offerings this season and find works that will enliven your collecting journey.

Buying 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 announcements. By bidding at auction, bidders are bound by those Conditions and Glossary, as amended by any announcements or posted notices, which together form the contract of sale between the successful bidder (buyer), Waddington’s™ (auctioneer) and the consignor (seller) of the lot. Description 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 catalogue description or condition report, 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 have our staff answer any questions before bidding. Sizes are approximate. Frames on artwork are not included as part of purchase or condition. 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. BUYER’S PREMIUM Waddington’s charges a buyer’s premium of 23% on the hammer price up to and including $25,000 cad. Hammer prices in excess of $25,000 cad will be charged a buyer’s premium of 20%. Buyer’s premium and applicable Canadian taxes are added to the hammer price. A charge of 13% HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) is applicable on the hammer price and buyer’s premium except for any items directly shipped from our premises out of Canada.
