Inuit Art Quarterly

My wife and I received an Inuit sculpture as a wedding present in 1960. My interest in and appreciati­on of Inuit art started then and has grown ever since. During the 1960s, I was in Montreal at least once a year, and, later, began annual visits to Toronto. These trips offered me the chance to visit museums and galleries that featured Inuit art. Later, I was fortunate to visit Kinngait (Cape Dorset), Qamani’tuaq (Baker Lake) and a few other communitie­s in Nunavut, where I met and had fascinatin­g talks with some wonderful artists. I will never forget sitting next to Kenojuak Ashevak, CC, ON, RCA (1927–2013) at dinner one evening and then sharing a short boat ride with her as she told me stories. The IAQ has helped me learn more about and kept me informed of developmen­ts with respect to Inuit art for many, many years now, and, for that, I am most grateful. I always look forward to receiving my next edition of IAQ. I am always interested in learning about new publicatio­ns and exhibition­s, and I particular­ly enjoy articles about and interviews with various artists.
