Coiled Basket with Inukshuk
Sarah Mickiyuk
CA$2,070.00Woven coiled grass basket, Thread (coloured), Serpentine stone
2012
The process of basket-making is long and arduous as it can take up to a month to weave a large basket. Baskets are made from repeatedly coiling the grass from the bottom of the basket and building the basket up. Designs are created by stitching thread onto the basket, however some designs are actually woven in. This thread can be made from a number of materials, such as de-haired sealskin, leather, and yarn.

The Way of Inuit Art: Aesthetics and History In and Beyond the Arctic
Emily E. Auger
CA$55.00Inuit art is examined in this book from prehistory to the present, especially its influence on non-Inuit artists and scholars, and their influence on it.
Part One gives a history of the main art-producing prehistoric traditions in the North American Arctic, concentrating on the Dorset. It also discusses the influence of theories such as evolutionism, diffusionism, ethnographic comparison, and shamanism on the interpretation of prehistoric Inuit art.
Part Two, with the support of interviews with Inuit artists, analyzes the influence of such theories as nationalism, primitivism, modernism, and postmodernism on 20th century Canadian Inuit art. The presence of Inuit art in the mainstream is demonstrated with a discussion of its influence on Canadian artist Nicola Wojewoda, to whose work, in addition, Inuit artists present their reactions.

Creation and Transformation: Defining Moments in Inuit Art
Christine Lalonde, Darlene Wight, Ingo Hessel, Norman Vorano, Susan Gustavison, Winnipeg Art Gallery
CA$65.00The treasures of the world’s largest public collection of Inuit art are revealed in this seminal history of art from the Arctic.
The collection of Inuit art held by the Winnipeg Art Gallery, one of Canada’s most important public galleries, is extraordinary by any standard: its geographic range, diverse media and size have brought international renown to the collection of some 11,000 artworks. The wag celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2012-13 and this book, as well as a major exhibition from January 24 to April 17, 2013, will feature many of the gallery’s treasures as it marks this important milestone.
Creation and Transformation is a major art book that describes the genesis and evolution of contemporary Inuit art from 1949 to the present day: from carvers in the 1950s, such as Johnny Inukpuk, to later storytellers in stone, such as Davidialuk Alasua Amittu, and in whale bone such as Karoo Ashevak; from pioneer graphic artist Jessie Oonark, to graphic artists working today in new and personal idioms, such as Shuvinai Ashoona. The book is a celebration of creativity that has had many transformations over six decades.
Organized chronologically, this remarkable volume will constitute a new historical narrative of a contemporary art form as revealed in essays by international authorities led by Winnipeg Art Gallery’s curator of Inuit art, Darlene Coward Wight, and explored through the personal insights of the artists themselves. Expertly designed and produced, this book features 150 colour and archival images.
