Inuit art, also known as Eskimo art, refers to artwork produced by Inuit, previously known as Eskimos, and other related circumpolar peoples. Historically, their preferred medium was walrus ivory, but since the establishment of southern markets for Inuit art in 1945, prints and figurative works carved in relatively soft stone such as soapstone, serpentinite, or argillite have also become popular. The Winnipeg Art Gallery has the largest public collection of contemporary Inuit art in the world. Wikipedia →
