Limited edition: This is a limited edition of 72 prints.
Design: The original to the print, Bird in the Air, is an acrylic painting on canvas that was part of Davidson's 2013 show, Abstract Impulse, which was shown at the Seattle Art Museum and then travelled to the Smithsonian in New York City. It symbolizes foresight, good choices, lofty ideals, leadership, and freedom. The wings of the Eagle represent the balance and co-dependency between femininity and masculinity and how each trait must work unitedly to achieve harmonious results.
By Haida Artist, Robert Davidson, Guud Sans Glans:
For more than fifty years now, Robert Davidson has worked as an artist and has produced an internationally acclaimed body of work. His work is in several private and public collections, including the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Canadian Museum of History in Hull, Quebec, and the Southwest Museum in Los Angeles. His Haida name is Guud Sans Glans which means "Eagle of the Dawn".
Davidson’s passion for reviving and perpetuating various forms of Haida cultural expression, including song, dance, and ceremony, has fuelled his remarkable output. He was responsible for carving and raising the first totem pole in his hometown of Massett in nearly 90 years when he was just 22 years old. His inspiration was to give his elders a chance to celebrate culture in a way they could not in their lifetimes.
How do we ship your art?
Our mission is to ensure that every piece arrives in the same condition it left us in so that you can enjoy your artwork right away. Our packaging methods follow museum-quality recommendations to protect and preserve fine art.
Framed print:
We packaged framed pieces in a custom-built plywood crate. We start with wrapping the framed artwork in acid-free glassine. Then we add multiple layers of protection, including cardboard corners, bubble wrap, and a vapor barrier to protect against moisture, which is then enclosed in a box made from heavy-duty foam board and further enclosed in a plywood box. Handles are added to each crate to ensure ease of transport through each touch point. We ship UPS, which includes full insurance, a tracking number, and an adult signature, which is required upon delivery. We also complete all necessary customs clearance paperwork for items traveling outside Canada.
Our packaging methods adhere to museum and fine art standards to ensure your artwork arrives safely.
Conservation Glass:
All of our framed artwork is framed using conservation glass to ensure the preservation of the artwork for years to come.
