Exploring the Potential of Inuit Art from the Arctic North
Overview
Inuit art, deeply rooted in the Arctic north, is gaining global attention as a potential investment. However, the number of practicing Inuit artists appears to be dwindling.
Shifting Employment Trends
The establishment of the Nunavut government, Canada's third official territory, has generated numerous job opportunities for Inuit, particularly the youth. Many young Inuit prefer less physically demanding roles, such as government office jobs, over traditional art carving. This shift is also evident among young Inuit women, who are gravitating towards modern careers instead of traditional art forms like drawing, tapestry, and doll making.
Impact on Artistic Skills
Many master Inuit carvers are also skilled hunters, which allows them to accurately depict Arctic wildlife in their art. However, as new generations move away from hunting?"partly due to the convenience of local grocery stores?"their familiarity with these animals diminishes. This may affect the detail and authenticity in their artwork compared to older, more experienced carvers.
Market Dynamics and Investment Potential
These changes could lead to a higher demand for high-quality Inuit art, potentially surpassing its supply and boosting its market value. Nonetheless, art experts advise against purchasing art solely for investment. Art's true value lies in its aesthetic appeal. Even if a piece doesn't appreciate as expected, it remains a unique work of beauty.
Conclusion
If you encounter a piece of Inuit art that resonates with you and fits within your budget, consider acquiring it. The opportunity to own such a distinctive piece may not arise again, making it both a personal treasure and a potential investment.
