DOWNLOAD EBOOKElaine Horwitch was a feisty, larger-than-life gallerist who put contemporary Southwest art on the culture map. Prefaced by a historical survey of art in Arizona and New Mexico, Southwest Rising examines Horwitch's remarkable life and highlights many of the artists she promoted in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, as well as some of her top rivals in the art business. This book looks at Southwest art through the lens of art markets and institutions, and the creative spirit of artists who contributed to the rise of a unique genre.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBy analyzing ways in which indigenous cultures described the American Southwest, David Teague persuasively argues against the destructive approach that Americans currently take to the region. Included are Native American legends and Spanish and Hispanic literature. As he traces ideas about the desert, Teague shows how literature and art represent the Southwest as a place to be sustained rather than transformed. 14 illustrations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAsmat Art features the world renowned woodcarvings of the Asmat, former head-hunters who live in the western half of New Guinea This book presents a full range of Asmat woodcarving art, but emphasizes the rare early shields and figure sculptures. Drums, canoe prowheads and the larger, more dramatic "objects" are also shown. Together with bisj poles, war shields are perhaps the most famous creation of Asmat artists, and these were carved throughout the region. It is in the design and construction of the shields that the variations in style region can most clearly be seen. Figure sculptures, of varying styles, are also well represented here, and a limited number of the huge ceremonial carvings, such as bisj poles and basu suangkus, have also been included. The cultural context in which these items play their part is described in detail in the introductory chapters. But it is not the intention of this book to be an ethnography. The focus is on the art pieces themselves.
