EXCLUSIVE BENCHMARK CARVING!
The most noble and captivating sculpture that I have seen in the last 17 years by renowned Elite Master carver Abraham Anghik Ruben.
This is a piece that most collectors will see only once in a lifetime.
The investment potential for this piece is extraordinarily high.
Abraham Anghik Ruben has carved an extraordinarily exquisite sculpture.
The carver documents the voyage of Inuit men in their Umiak.(boat)
An Umiak is a large open wooden boat covered with hide often called a Migration Boat.
Migration boats transported supplies to the Inuits' summer homes.
Severe weather often caused disastrous accidents.
HIGH HOPES is a human tale of survival.
Carving the “passengers” is painstaking work.
You will be inspired by the emotions Ruben has carved into the faces of these men.
Each man’s face depicts a different emotion, from exhaustion to joy!
Like Joe Talirunili's (1893-1976) Migration boats, Ruben has told an epic story.
But what distinguishes Ruben from Talirunili's boats are the four gray standing figures who are waving drums or guiding the boat and the stunning Sedna holding the boat up in the water, offering her protection.
I believe that Ruben's High Hopes is in the same league as Talirunili's boats.
In 2006 and 2019, Talirunili's boats sold at auction for the highest prices ever realized for Inuit art.
High Hopes iwill one day be listed for $150,000 + in an Inuit art auction.
It is a benchmark carving with major historical relevance.
Ruben is an Elite Inuit Master Carver who has had International exhibitions, is featured on the cover of many Inuit Art publications and has sculptures in all the major Art galleries and museums .
