THE LAWRENCE INUIT SCUPTURE COLLECTION

Also included in the Lawrence auction is a large collection of Inuit carvings. Robert Lawrence had a film production studio in Toronto, Canada in the late 1950's to early 1960's.  While he was working there he would have the opportunity a few times a year to meet the Inuit people along the Great Lakes area when they would bring their carvings to sell.  Especially interesting is a beautifully carved jade seal. All of the carvings in the auction were purchased from about 1957 - 1963.
