Family (1999)

Included in the 1970 Sculpture Exhibition organized as part of the Centennial for the Northwest Territories, Lucy Tasseor was also one of the Keewatin (tundra) artists selected for the key exhibition, “Sculpture/Inuit: Masterworks of the Canadian Arctic”, which toured internationally from 1971-1973. Immediately recognizable for her signature style, the artist has long been regarded as one of the principal exponents of the austere minimalist style that we have associated with the community of Arviat—and she has continued to show extensively at a national/international level for the last three and a half decades.
