Lot Report

Provenance:

Work sourced by Jack & Sheila Butler for the vendor, 1970’s

Note:

The isolated polar bear is surrounded only by the white of the paper, indicative of its natural environment of snow and ice. This work, along with the following small drawing (lot 178), perfectly reflects the directness of Anguhadluq’s vision.
