Rarities : From The Himalayas to Hawaii, Hardback Book

Rarities : From The Himalayas to Hawaii Hardback

Hardback

Description

This book presents a personal collection of ancestor sculpture and protective deities, following the ancient migratory and trade routes of the Austronesian, Southeast Asian Bronze Age, and Hindu-Buddhist peoples.

The author, Thomas Murray, has spent a lifetime studying this art through his endeavours as a peripatetic dealer, collector, and field researcher.

The objects illustrated come from a swath of widely varied cultures from Nepal eastward to Hawaii, with the overwhelming majority from Indonesia and Southeast Asia.

Murray's eye is highly informed and based on an unusually large sampling of objects to which his experience and research have exposed him.

The artworks documented represent some of the top examples he has acquired and retained over the course of a long career.

They are characterised by sculptural balance and a harmony of line, as well as a rare quality of expressiveness.

Each ranks high in terms of aesthetics and desirability within its own particular style as perceived by the art market and by other western aficionados.
