The Figure 1 team is proud to see Curve! Women Carvers on the Northwest Coast on the shortlist for the Bill Duthie Booksellers’ Choice Award, administered by the BC and Yukon Book Prizes.
Curated by Dana Claxton and Curtis Collins, and co-published with the Audain Art Museum to accompany an ongoing exhibition by the same name, Curve! is an eighty-year overview of wood and argillite carvings by fourteen Indigenous women artists on the Northwest Coast. It features stunning photography, and commentaries by Skeena Reece, Claxton, and Marika Swan, and interviews with artists Dale Campbell and Mary Anne Barkhouse.
The Bill Duthie Booksellers’ Choice Award is presented to the publishers and the authors of the book that is the most successful in terms of public appeal, initiative, design, production and content, and is determined by ballot vote.
