- Lot Description
Glen Pollard (Haida, British Columbia, Canada, 1957 to present), ca. 1994 CE, "Eagle & Raven." A beautiful hand carved black argillite sculpture by the Haida artist Glen Pollard. An eagle perches at one end of a rectangular base that is incised with a stylized raven. Both the eagle and raven have eyes inland with white or red shells. The underside is signed by the artist with the name and year of this piece. Glen Pollard is a First Nations artist and part of the Haida Gwaii village on Tanu Islands. He began carving as teenager in the 1970s and is mostly self-taught. He is an argillite master carver, usually collecting the stone himself. Argillite is a fine-grained sedimentary rock that is typically black in color and lustrous once polished; it often has an impressively smooth appearance. In the 19th century, the Haida people began to carve this material as a trade good for visiting Europeans and Americans, because of the decline of their traditional economic practice of fishing. Size: 6.25" L x 3.25" W x 3.75" H (15.9 cm x 8.3 cm x 9.5 cm)
Provenance: private Phelps collection, Alamo, California, USA, before 2000
