Art of the Andes
A new exhibit at the Nasher Museum features ceramics, textiles, metalwork, and carvings produced by cultures across the Andes region. Art of the Andes contains items, many of which are on display for the first time, from as early as 200 BC, and depicts both realistic and stylized animals, people, deities, food, and scenes of warfare, performance, and pleasure. Numerous objects in this gallery also celebrate the importance of corn, a plant of major significance across the Andes. The exhibit will be on display until next July.
