After ten years in Paris, Les Modernes has decided to establish itself in Montréal with the
mandate to promote three kinds of art, contemporary, modern and inuit art. Why inuit art ?
We think that inuit art is essential to any great modern art collection. We should not forget
that there are inuit artists of international recognition and we must remember that the beauty and the
quality of some inuit sculptures can be compared to modern artists like Brancusi, Giacometti, Arp,
Picasso and others. We can still find inuit sculptures of that quality at a reasonable price.
Their talent ignores fashion which makes their work immortal. If history should only retain
the great North American sculptors, we would need to pronounce names like Anghik, Akpaliapik,
Ashevak, Atehealak, Barnabus, Etungat, Ipeelee, Tasseor and many others.
