Designed by Mark Timmings, Sanattiaqsimajut (Inuktitut for “these things that are finely made”) is a beautiful book that documents the highlights of CUAG’s extensive collection of Inuit art.
Guest curator Ingo Hessel, author of the renowned Inuit Art: An Introduction, has selected 125 works by Inuit artists from CUAG’s collection, each of which is reproduced in the catalogue. Approximately half of the works featured are sculptures, while half are drawings and prints.
Hessel’s essay discusses the works in terms of several important narrative threads that recur throughout Inuit art. The works of art are then grouped into 37 smaller topics that manifest a diverse range of approaches. Each topic is accompanied by a 500-word essay written by 33 invited experts in the field, including CUAG’s former curators of Inuit art.
