    Ritual Beauty - Art of the Ancient Americas

    Ritual Beauty - Art of the Ancient Americas

    Presented by University of Arizona - Museum of Art at University of Arizona - Museum of Art

    December 4, 2008-June 7, 2009

    Featuring approximately 170 extraordinary objects of pre-Columbian origin, Ritual Beauty: Art of the Ancient Americas includes ancient vessels, effigy jars, textiles and adornments, clay figures, stone sculptures, and implements fashioned from copper, silver and gold - all offering a window on the aesthetic worlds of Mesoamerica and the Andean region prior to European contact. Curated by Joanne Stuhr, this exhibition aims to provide a better understanding of the aesthetic, social, political, and religious life of the pre-Columbian world in which these exceptional objects were created, as well as an occasion to study, appreciate, and enjoy the artistic achievements of these rich cultures through their material past.
