Lot 32 Floyd Joseph (Tyee) (Squamish / Coast Salish, Canadian, b. 1953), Natural Spawning Grounds, 1986, Si

Signed, titled, dated 1986, and numbered 69/160 along the lower margin, this Northwest Coast print depicts two salmon arranged in a circular, interlocking design in black, white, and vivid red. The composition is strongly graphic and emblematic, with flowing formline structure and a balanced rotational movement that suits the spawning theme especially well. The title Natural Spawning Grounds and the edition number match a recent Kastner listing for the same work, confirming the attribution and subject. Presented under glass in a square frame. Art 13 x 13 in.; framed 18.5 x 18.5 in.
