Lot Report

Literature:

Helga Goetz, The Art of Baker Lake, from The People Within, Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, 1976, unpaginated.

Note:

“Individual figures show minimal differentiation, with large heads, staring eyes, vestigial arms, little motion; yet they interact strongly, and with compelling eyes the occasional outward-facing, icon-like figure demands the participation of the viewer.”
