In early 1990, Inuit art scholar Bernadette Driscoll Engelstad approached the Baltimore Museum of Art with a proposal for an exhibition of textile art from the Canadian arctic. Her familiarity with the extraordinary wall hangings made by a group of Inuit women in Baker Lake, Northwest Territories, had convinced her that this art form - still virtually unknown in the United States - deserved a wider audience. This is the catalog for the exhibition that resulted. With essays by Katharine Fernstrom, Associate Curator of the Arts of Africa, the Americas & Oceania, and Anita Jones, Associate Curator in Charge of Textiles, the catalog also includes biographical information about 12 Inuit artists. It is well illustrated with 13 color and 18 b&w images of the artists' works.
