ULAYU PINGWARTOK (1904-1978)

Provenance: Purchased by Charles Gimpel. Exhibited at Gimpel Fils Gallery, London, England.
An extraordinary drawing that rivals Kananginak's work in its naturalistic detail. Yet the image is whimsical, even slightly fantastic.
Most realised prices include the Buyer's Premium of 18-25%, but not the HST/GST Tax.
