Maija M. Lutz is an Associate of the Peabody Museum and former Librarian of Tozzer Library at Harvard University.
In 1959, Harvard alumnus Chauncey C. Nash (1884–1968) encountered
Inuit carvings on a birding trip to Churchill, Manitoba, Canada,
and began to collect them, expanding to include prints made by
Inuit artists in Cape Dorset (now Kinngait, Nunavut, Canada)
between 1959 and 1967. Here Lutz provides ample context for the 60
prints and 210 sculptures that Nash donated to Harvard’s Peabody.
The book tells the story of contemporary Inuit art, the Peabody
Museum, Chauncey C. Nash’s life, and how Nash built his
collection.
