BUST OF A SHAMAN

4.5 x 1.5 x 1 in — 12 x 3.8 x 2.5 cm

Provenance:
Waddington’s Auctioneers, Toronto, November 1999, Lot 369

Note:
“…given the timeframe in which Johnstone has been forming this collection, some of the major figures from the very early period of modern Inuit art had already either died or, through age, largely ceased to practice. The short-lived Ashevak Karoo is presented only by a comparative small, though nonetheless typically haunting and powerful, piece, Bust of a Shaman. (190)



Estimate: $4,000—6,000
