I recall that Dean (Beygon) is a fan of Inuit artwork. My Mom and Dad were born on Vancouver Island, BC. I'm a US anchor baby born in New Jersey. My Mom had a really keen eye for Inuit artwork and collected these beauties back in the 1950's. When she passed about 30 years ago, I got about 1/3 of the collection, my brother and sister have the rest of the collection. I think she picked them up for next to nothing, in today's $. I had them appraised by a Canadian museum a few years ago, and the Canadian Guild of Crafts (Guilde canadienne des métiers d'art) did a full court press on getting me to donate them.
