The Dora and Paul Janssen Collection, which brings together some of the finest masterpieces of pre-Columbian art, takes us across the American continent and demonstrates the extraordinary richness of ancient American cultures. Pre-Hispanic artists excelled in stonework, terracotta, textiles, featherwork, and goldsmithing, offering, depending on the region, an incredible variety of styles, techniques, and inspiration.
Through this publication, a very different, yet oh so fascinating and mysterious world is revealed to readers. We will discover not only choice pieces from the great civilizations (Olmec, Mayan, Aztec, Inca) but also works from lesser-known cultures that deserve our equal admiration for their master artists.
