<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 325084, member: 55&quot;]That isn&#039;t necessarily true; especially when the talk is that &quot;he isn&#039;t related to Stephen Charlie or Simon Charlie.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; Both Simon and Stephen Charlie are pretty well known, and it is easy to find info about them; the same is not true of Ike and Art Charlie.</p><p>The only information that I was able to locate about <u>this</u> Charlie family was a very short mention of Ike C, indicating not much more than his tribal affiliation, and mentioning his brother Art only in passing. Of the two, Ike is clearly the more skilled carver.</p><p>One can usually assume that siblings are from the same tribe or band; but cannot assume that siblings are equally skilled.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; While it is genuine Northwest Coast art, the carving shown above is pretty rudimentary, as are the other carvings I&#039;ve seen by Art Charlie; nothing special, and not something I&#039;d personally pay $75 or even $50 for today.</p><p>Sorry to be blunt, but this is not a major work of NW Coast art.</p><p>PS:&nbsp; Norman Charlie, mentioned in a post above, is not related to Ike and Art Charlie; wrong tribal affiliation.&nbsp;&nbsp; The better-known Charlie family is Coast Salish; Art and Ike C. are Nuu-Chah-Nulth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
