Lot Report

Note:

From the Baker Lake experimental period. Tunuwak “emphasized that anyone could try out and did, and that they were given new designs to try at their own pace....William Noah thought Tunuwak was good, when he looked at the work I showed him, and wondered out loud why he didn’t continue in the program.”
Sandra Buhai Barz, Inuit Artists Print Workbook, Volume 3, Book 2: Print Documentation, 2004, p. 165
