Illustrated with over 400 beautifully photographed pieces from one of the world's largest private collections and published in a large and lavish folio, Indonesian Tribal Sculpture promises to be one of the the most important ever published on the subject. The artwork, collected by Boston's Rodger Dashow over a 30-year period, includes not only many previously unseen pieces, but also rarely seen types of sculpture. The book also contains groundbreaking material, including an introduction by Andrew Gurevich and Robert Walker, President of the Joseph Campbell Foundation, on the relevance of the work of this philosopher and best-selling author in the field of tribal studies. Bruce W. Caprenter, author and co-author of over twenty titles on Indonesian art, history and culture, provides the main text. Written for the interested layman, this book provides a clear overview of the subject and also discusses the significance of the recent scientific discovery that Indonesia is home to some of the oldest works of art on the planet. Each artwork illustrated in the book is accompanied by descriptive captions and measurements. Author: Bruce W.
