Kananginak Pootoogook, OWL OF KINNGAIT, Cape Dorset, 1973, 28 x 24 1/2 in.

Harry and Marcia Klamer began collecting Inuit art in 1961. Over thirty years they acquired one of the largest and most admired collections in the world.

In 1978 the Klamers gave part of their fine collection to the Art Gallery of Ontario, so that it might be seen and enjoyed by all who share a love of Inuit art. When assembling works for their gift, Harry Klamer reflected that, “we experienced at once the joy and excitement of seeing old friends – that thrill of discovery which is always there when we look at favorite objects”.

In 1996 the family decided to release more “old friends” from the collection of Marcia and the late Harry Klamer. Feheley was proud to host “Selections of Sculpture” in the fall of 1996. Now we are pleased to offer today’s collectors a unique opportunity to select from a group of rare prints in superb condition.
