Quvianatuliak (Kov) Tukpaungai's works are held in notable public and private collections and have been featured in significant exhibitions, including the landmark 1970 Sculpture/Inuit exhibtion, which was pivotal in establishing Inuit sculpture as fine art rather than positioning it as ethnographic artifact or souvenir.
