museums in the world. Included are examples from the full range of
world cultures collected by the museum: Africa, the Ancient Western
World, Asia, Ancient America, the South Pacific, and Western Art
before and after 1800. The entry accompanying each piece, by the
curator of that collection, sketches the cultural context within
which the object was created and used and describes the unique
qualities that make it a masterpiece. In addition to showcasing the
research of the museum's highly respected curatorial staff, this
handsome volume highlights the remarkable photography of Michael
Cavanagh and Kevin Montague, widely regarded as among the premier
photographers of fine arts. For students, lovers, and collectors of
art, Masterworks provides an inspiring and illuminating tour of the
