About the Item

Hunter And Seal, 1972 Kiawak Ashoona (1933 - 2014) O.C., R.C.A. Cape Dorset Serpentine This is a magnificent example of this early Cape Dorset artist's work. Flawless original condition. Some of the finest carvings to come from the north were created in Cape Dorset. A stone excellent for carving, in beautiful shades of green was discovered near Markham Bay at the south Baffin Island coastline in 1954. The master carvers from this region, including Kiawak crafted works with great detail and finish. “When I carve... I will start from the head. I try to put down a lot of details in the carvings that I do. Sometimes I carve from my imagination and sometimes I carve what I have seen in the past.” Kiawak Ashoona was the son of graphic artist Pitseolak and sibling of carvers, Kaka and Koomwartok. Kiawak had noted that he enjoyed finishing his work with fine detail. He preferred to carve in seclusion so he could take his time to develop the work. Measures 23 x 12 x 21.50 inches.

Victor Salmones Signed Bronze Bust of a Young Child

Victor Salmones Signed Bronze Bust of a Young Child

By Victor Salmones

Located in Los Angeles, CA

An untitled signed bronze sculpture by the Mexican artist, Victor Salmones (1937 - 1989) from an edition of 10. Numbered 1 of 10. Signature "Victor Salmones. 1/10" in cast. In excellent original condition. Victor Salmones (1937-1989) was the most widely known sculptor living and working in Mexico during his lifetime. His sculptures won him universal acclaim and are held in the collections of museums, corporations, cities, universities and private collectors in some 30 countries. During his career, he was highly sought after and increasingly involved in the execution of commissions for major public works around the world. Salmones developed his love and talent for creating sculpture by working with clay in high school. He attended the Instituto de Bellas Artes (Mexican National Institute of Fine Arts), where he was an apprentice to the Bauhaus master, Otto Hoffman. He was trained to use the exacting, age-old lost wax method of casting and worked principally in bronze. Hoffman's encouragement led to the opening of Victor's own sculpture workshop in Cuernavaca in 1966. In 1967, Salmones’ fluid bronze “Adam” won first prize at the Biennale Exposition of the National Museum of Modern Art. His work continued to win the highest critical acclaim at subsequent Biennale expositions, and in 1971, over hundreds of entries, his life-size bronze Narcissus...
