Description:
The UA Libraries Special Collections welcomes Arctic Spirit: Inuit Art from the Albrecht Collection, a traveling exhibit of the Canadian Inuit’s rich artistic history. Chosen from a Heard Museum collection donated by UA alumnus Dr. Daniel Albrecht, the sculptures, textiles and graphics offers a rare opportunity to view Inuit artwork. The Inuits, or Eskimos, are a society of natives who live mainly in Siberia, Alaska, Greenland and the Canadian Arctic. Although many consider these various groups to be homogenous, Arctic Spirit showcases the artistic styles that are distinctly of the Canadian Inuit. The exhibit has been brought to Special Collections through the generosity of Dr. Albrecht, and is curated by Ingo Hessel who has researched Inuit art extensively for more than 20 years.
