Transfigurations

Résumé du livre

Known internationally for collecting and placing North Pacific Coast artwork and artifacts of the highest caliber, George Terasaki stands among the preeminent individuals in the field. Of the many thousands of artworks that have passed through his hands over the years, he has retained only a few of the most remarkable objects for his private collection. Few of these have ever been published before now. Less well known than the objects themselves are Terasaki?s photographs of them--images that reveal his deep appreciation and emotional connection with each piece. This luxurious book illuminates these spectacular artworks in a deluxe presentation worthy of their quality. Noted scholar Steven Clay Brown provides insight and new scholarship on each of these prime examples of Native American art. A foreword by Edmund Carpenter introduces the collection.
