Andy Miki Art for Sale at Auction

b. 1918 - d. 1983

Andy Miki (1918–1983) was an Inuk artist from Arviat, Northwest Territories (now Nunavut).

His works are mainly in soapstone, and are often geometric abstractions.

While the abstract work of John Pangnark focused on the human figure, Miki's work is minimalist abstracted animals. This is partly because the stone available near Arviat is hard and difficult to work with, which necessitates simple designs.

His work is held by a variety of museums, including the University of Michigan Museum of Art, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Art Gallery of Guelph, and the Penn Museum.
