This exciting sculpture is by Joe Nasogaluak, an Inuit artist from Tuktoyaktuk, in Canada’s Northwest Territories. Carved out of Brazilian soapstone and standing 23 inches in height, this piece is titled Calling Caribou and depicts the importance of the caribou to the existence of the Inuit. Images of the North, located at 2036 Union Street, has been presenting fine Inuit art to Bay Area collectors and visitors for 34 years in Cow Hollow. Known for hosting important exhibitions over the years, Images of the North is one of only a handful of Inuit art dealers left in the United States. If you would like to browse and learn more about Inuit art, visit Tuesday–Saturday from 11 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and by appointment. 415-673-1273, imagesnorth.com. photo: earl adkins
