This volume, coinciding with the opening of permanent Art of the Americas galleries at the Walters Art Museum in 2025, examines how, for people in the Indigenous Americas, materials had and continue to have a life of their own. Ancient and modern craftspeople shaped jade, gold, feathers, and clay into exquisite artworks, but the meanings of those objects are intertwined with the living essence of the raw materials themselves. Thirty-five highlights, ancient to contemporary, provide a window into the spiritual and intellectual context in which these objects were understood by the Indigenous people who made and used them. AUTHORS: Ellen Hoobler is the William B. Ziff, Jr. Curator of Art of the Americas at the Walters Art Museum. Patricia Lagardeis the Wieler-Mellon Postdoctoral Curatorial Fellow, Art of the Americas at the Walters Art Museum. SELLING POINTS: . Fully bilingual English/Spanish edition . Striking design gives the series a unique message with bold, important, enthusiastic and passionate associations. . Highlights the strengths, variety, and sheer wonder of the Walters Art Museum's unique collections spanning seven millennia. . Powerful and provocative essays by leading senior director of Collections and Curatorial Affairs & senior curator of Ancient Art. . Fulfils demand for an illustrated, accessible, non-academic publication at an affordable price point. 60 colour illustrations
