Folk Art of the Andes

Opens
In the Bartlett Gallery Sunday April 17, 2011

A major exhibition - Folk Art of the Andes - features over 850 works of art from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This diverse group of Andean folk arts includes weaving, embroidery, woodcarving, ceramics, painting, and metalwork, reflecting the interweaving of indigenous craft traditions with European art forms and techniques. (Photo, above: Woman's Sidesaddle Stirrups, Argentina, early 19th century, Silver, 5" x 8.75". Photo by Blair Clark)

The exhibition provides a window into the rich spirit and culture shared by the peoples of this highland region of South America through works ranging from costumes, jewelry, utilitarian items, and toys to those used in religious practices and festivals. (Photo, right: Woman's Shawl, Gualeaceo region, Azuay, Ecuador, ca. 1930, Cotton 108" x 30.5". Photo by Blair Clark)) The exhibit will be accompanied by a richly illustrated 300 page catalog.
