Interestingly, Aqigaaq was somewhat of a traditionalist, despite his young age. Proud of his style and confident of his working methods, he did not make the switch to power tools when they became popular. Standing Woman, Adjusting Her Hood is a striking example of the artist at the height of his powers.Provenance
Collection of John & Joyce Price, Seattle, WA.
