Inuit & First Nations Art Auction
Volume II | Monday 5 December 2022 at 7 PM ET
This season’s consignment period has been a remarkable one that saw our team travelling across North America to gather the offerings for our Fall 2022 live auction, which we present to you in two beautiful catalogues. As always, it has been our great privilege to act as temporary stewards of these treasures and to research and write about them in preparation for this sale.

This auction features 172 lots in total, including seventy-three masterpieces from the collection of John & Joyce Price of Seattle (see Volume One). The present catalogue (Volume Two) includes an additional collection of masterworks created by a wide range of North American Indigenous peoples and held in prestigious collections across the United States and Canada.
