"Among the greatest private collections of Plains and Plateau
Indian art in the world." --Gaylord Torrence, Senior Curator of
American Indian Art, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
Living with American Indian Art: The Hirschfield Collection
contains numerous masterworks, the great majority of which have
never been published or exhibited. This book brings the collection
into the scholarly domain as surely as any museum publication,
making it accessible to the rest of the world for the first time.
Alan Hirschfield built the collection primarily with an art-based
view, focusing on pieces that he has found to be interesting and
attractive. As a result, there is broad representation of many
different tribes and regions, and includes textiles, leather
pouches, war shirts, dresses, vests, cradleboards, beadwork,
weaponry, pottery, toys, and basketry. Whether you are a collector,
a scholar, or someone interested in decorating with American Indian
art, inspiration will be found in Hirschfield's approach.
Alan J. Hirschfield, a foremost collector of American Indian
art, has held many executive positions in the entertainment
industry over the last 40 years, including chairman and CEO of
Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation and president and CEO of
Columbia Pictures. He currently serves as a director of several
nonprofit institutions and public companies. Among their numerous
philanthropic commitments, he and his wife, Berte, are dedicated to
improving the opportunities for youth living on the Wind River
Indian Reservation in Wyoming.
