Uncommon Legacies: Native American Art from the Peabody Essex Museum

This fine catalog of an exhibition held in 2002-2003, in several locations will be of interest to general readers as well as scholars of Native American art. The essays consider issues of collecting and display, Salem's Peabody Essex Museum, and Native American perspectives on the display of their art in the museum setting. Following the essays, the catalog of works is arranged by region, with an essay for each section. The catalog was published by the American Federation of Arts, which organized the exhibition along with the Peabody Essex Museum, in association with the U. of Washington Press. Annotation c.
