AYAGAK, stencil, 1970, 10/45, unframed, 15" x 11" — 38.1 x 27.9 cm.
Est. $300/500
Note: “Ajagaq is a traditional and very popular game with both adults and children. The purpose is to spear an object swinging on a line with the stick from which the object dangles. This can be a simple hollow cylinder, as in the print, a rabbit skull, a bundle of twigs,or a carved figure with number of drilled holes. The white and brown of the caribou-skin clothing translated into a striking yellow and blue pattern in this profile image.”
