Using the study leader’s collection of pre-Columbian and ethnographic art as a teaching vehicle, the course will explore the evolution of collecting as an endeavor; the nature of pre-Columbian and ethnographic art distinguishing it from other art forms; the psychological, social and cultural functions and context of pre-Columbian and ethnographic art; the cultures creating the art; the art itself; and the moral, legal, authenticity and market considerations associated with the collection of pre-Columbian and ethnographic art.
