Lucy Tutsweetok Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1934 - d. 2012

Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok (1934 in Nunalla, Manitoba – 2012 in Arviat, Nunavut) was an Inuit artist. Known for her sculptures, Tasseor Tutsweetok worked principally with grey steatite, a hard stone local to Arviat on the Nunavit mainland where the artist moved following the closing of the North Rankin Nickel Mine in 1962. Always remaining close to the stone's original form and leaving its surface unpolished her sculptures take maternal and family groupings as their principle themes. Notable exhibitions include: Sculpture/Inuit: Masterworks of the Canadian Arctic (1971–73), In the Shadow of the Sun: Contemporary Indian and Inuit Art in Canada (1989–91), and Indigena: Contemporary Native Perspectives in Canadian Art (1992), and a solo exhibition, her first, at the Art Gallery of Ontario (2011). In 1992, she completed a large sculpture for the Canadian Museum of Civilization. Tasseor Tutsweetok's minimalist and semi-abstract approach to carving is accompanied by calculated drawings upon the stone's surface, she shares in this approach with her contemporaries Andy Miki, John Panaruk, and Elizabeth Nutaluk

          First Nations Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok Carving "Family"

          Est: $1,000 - $1,500

          Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok (First Nations / Canadian, Eskimo Point / Arviat, 1934-2012, disc # E1-135). "Family" stone carving, 1987. Signed in syllabics on underside of base. Attached "Eskimo Art" tag lists artist, culture, year, and title. A remarkable stone carving by artist Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok titled "Family" featuring 6 stylized faces that exemplify her classic, semi-abstract style. The piece is representative of her preferred subject matter - human faces and forms that evoke the Inuit sense of family - as well as her appreciation for organic forms that often resemble "miniature mountains." In formal terms the sculpture is supremely elegant: the workmanship and finish are lovely, and the interplay of the figures/faces and the stone matrix is subtle and sensuous. Tutsweetok's minimalist approach is "tied to 'imagin[ing]' the shape' inherent to her material rather than 'copying' a form." Size: 5" L x 5.5" W x 10" H (12.7 cm x 14 cm x 25.4 cm) Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok likened sculptural creation to that of musical, once describing in an interview with Ingo Hessel in 1989, "One time a group of singers came to the community. My daughter was watching me as I was carving. She asked me if carving a sculpture was the same as singing. I replied, 'Yes, it is.'" According to the National Gallery of Canada, who has collected 7 of her pieces, "Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok’s sculptures are best known for their distinctively minimal construction. A defining presence in Northern art, she helped develop a more abstract and elemental school of sculptural expression. As the daughter of the Eskimo Point carver Rachel Ottuk, Tasseor Tutsweetok was exposed to sculpture at an early age. She began using an axe as her tool of choice, as the local stone, steatite, was harder than traditional native carving tools could handle. Working alongside artists Andy Miki, John Panaruk, and Elizabeth Nutaluk, Tasseor Tutsweetok helped establish the highly distinctive abstract expressionistic sculpting technique characterized by directness in style and unique to the native art community. Her works deal mainly with domestic subjects, familial groups represented by clusters of faces that come through the natural shape of the rock. Sometimes Tasseor Tutsweetok used incised lines to add motifs to the surface of her sculptures. Sculptures such as the National Gallery of Canada’s Inuit, Itqiliit, Unaliit amma Qablunaat (1991), which was featured in the Museum of Civilization’s “Indigens” exhibition in 1991, achieve her goal to create monumental work. Tasseor Tutsweetok taught her daughter to carve, as she only trusted family to continue carving in her unique style, reflecting the relationship between the Inuit and their land.

          Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok Carving "Faces" 1992

          Est: $800 - $1,200

          Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok (First Nations / Canadian, Eskimo Point / Arviat, 1934-2012, disc # E1-135). "Faces" stone carving, 1992. Signed in syllabics on underside of base. Attached "Eskimo Art" tag lists artist, culture, year, and title. A remarkable stone carving by artist Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok titled "Faces" featuring 4 stylized faces that exemplify her classic, semi-abstract style. The piece is representative of her preferred subject matter - human faces and forms that evoke the Inuit sense of family - as well as her appreciation for organic forms that often resemble "miniature mountains." In formal terms the sculpture is supremely elegant: the workmanship and finish are lovely, and the interplay of the figures/faces and the stone matrix is subtle and sensuous. Tutsweetok's minimalist approach is "tied to 'imagin[ing]' the shape' inherent to her material rather than 'copying' a form." Natural black and white inclusions add variation to the smooth surface of the deep gray stone. Size: 2.2" L x 6.5" W x 6.4" H (5.6 cm x 16.5 cm x 16.3 cm) Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok likened sculptural creation to that of musical, once describing in an interview with Ingo Hessel in 1989, "One time a group of singers came to the community. My daughter was watching me as I was carving. She asked me if carving a sculpture was the same as singing. I replied, 'Yes, it is.'" According to the National Gallery of Canada, who has collected 7 of her pieces, "Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok’s sculptures are best known for their distinctively minimal construction. A defining presence in Northern art, she helped develop a more abstract and elemental school of sculptural expression. As the daughter of the Eskimo Point carver Rachel Ottuk, Tasseor Tutsweetok was exposed to sculpture at an early age. She began using an axe as her tool of choice, as the local stone, steatite, was harder than traditional native carving tools could handle. Working alongside artists Andy Miki, John Panaruk, and Elizabeth Nutaluk, Tasseor Tutsweetok helped establish the highly distinctive abstract expressionistic sculpting technique characterized by directness in style and unique to the native art community. Her works deal mainly with domestic subjects, familial groups represented by clusters of faces that come through the natural shape of the rock. Sometimes Tasseor Tutsweetok used incised lines to add motifs to the surface of her sculptures. Sculptures such as the National Gallery of Canada’s Inuit, Itqiliit, Unaliit amma Qablunaat (1991), which was featured in the Museum of Civilization's 'Indigens' exhibition in 1991, achieve her goal to create monumental work. Tasseor Tutsweetok taught her daughter to carve, as she only trusted family to continue carving in her unique style, reflecting the relationship between the Inuit and their land."

          Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok (First Nations / Canadian, Eskimo Point / Arviat, 1934-2012, disc # E1-135). "Mountain" stone carving, 1989. Lightly signed in syllabics on underside of base. Attached "Eskimo Art" tag lists artist, culture, year, and title. An intriguing stone carving by artist Lucy Tasseor Tutsweetok titled "Mountain" featuring 5 faces on a mountain-shaped formation in her classic, semi-abstract style. The piece is representative of her preferred subject matter - human faces and forms that evoke the Inuit sense of family - as well as her appreciation for organic forms that often resemble "miniature mountains" - hence the title of this piece. In formal terms the sculpture is supremely elegant: the workmanship and finish are lovely, and the interplay of the figures/faces and the stone matrix is subtle and sensuous. Tutsweetok's minimalist approach is "tied to 'imagin[ing]' the shape' inherent to her material rather than 'copying' a form."
