Including ceramics, bronzes, and sculptures, the seventy-nine pieces in the Columbia Museum of Art's Turner Collect of Chinese Art represent a monumental holding for the institution, second only to its permanent Kress collection of European art in both size and importance. Robert Y. Turner, a native of Winnsboro, South Carolina, donated the collection between 2003 and 2007, effectively transforming the museum's modest collection of Asian art into an enviable permanent exhibit and the only one of its kind in South Carolina. The Turner Collection is exceptional in that it covers a broad historical span with excellent examples from many geographic areas. The works range from rare painted ceramics and bronzes of Neolithic times (ca. 8000-2000 B.C.) to superb ceramics, vessels, tomb figures, and Buddhist works from the Golden Age of China, the Tang dynasty (A.D. 618-907). Beautiful works from almost every intervening period are also included. The volume includes a contextualizing essay on the artistic practices and techniques represented in the collection, a pragmatic user's guide, and an illustrated checklist of these impressive works of art. This book--like the collection itself--aims at providing insight and understanding into ancient and vibrant traditions given form in Chinese art.

The writers of this travel guide seek to introduce the reader to the pleasures of exploring historic America - in particular, the preserved and restored plantations and museum villages of the Southern landscape. The book covers 68 such sites with directions, opening times and entrance fees.

The quality and variety of the Barbier-Mueller collection of ethnic sculpture are astonishing, and only the finest pieces were selected for this all-color, oversize book. These striking pieces came from a vast number of small local cultures, of almost infinite variety, from an enormous expanse of the Old World, more specifically from Africa, Indonesia, especially the tribal areas - today known as Irian Jaya and New Guinea. Due to their ritual use, the rigors of tropical climates and the depradations of missionaries and conquerors, fine pieces have always been a rarity, as they were generally linked to the universal requirements of statehood and religion. Some remarkable pieces, however, did make up part of daily life.

This volume of Medieval European Coinage deals with the coinage of south Italy, Sicily and Sardinia between the mid-tenth century, when Volume 1 ended, and the reign of Ferdinand the Catholic, on the threshold of the modern era. It thus covers very different coinages of the immediate pre-Norman period and those of the Norman, Hohenstaufen, Angevin and Aragonese dynasties that in turn ruled part or the whole of the Mezzogiorno. The complex background to the history of this region makes its coinages among the most interesting of medieval Europe.

Compelling images of people in a region that in many ways remains a frontier fill the pages of this handsome book. The photographs, most published for the first time, are from the top-ranked collection of the Witte Museum in San Antonio, Texas. They catch South Texans during more than a century and a half of formal and informal moments in studios, at home, at work and at play. All illustrations were scanned in color, yielding a range of tones that otherwise disappear when historic images are converted to black and white. The images are also treated as artifacts, preserving their patina of age and reproducing the original mountings and borders, which often bear elaborate typography. The oldest, a daguerreotype, was made in 1849, less than twenty years after the birth of photography. It pictures Major General William Jenkins Worth, a Mexican War hero for whom the city of Fort Worth is named. Images of others in South Texas appear in tintypes, then cabinet cards, autochromes, photo postcards and snapshots. On the cover, a cowboy poses in the 1880s with his horse and rifle close at hand. Inside, firewood vendors pause with their burros in Laredo. The imprisoned Geronimo leans against a wall at Fort Sam Houston. Textile designers work in Brownsville. A piano class picnics in San Antonio. In Starr County, a water hauler rides atop his wagon. In Atascosa County, J. Frank Dobie lounges beside a fence. These carefully selected images and the accompanying text both portray the evolution of photography and offer unique perspectives on a distinctive frontier.

An unusual look at the Boer War.

We relish the literature, we sing along to the jazz, blues and country music, but have we ever considered southern art? Referred to by scholars as the last frontier of American art, Southern art embodies a rich visual heritage. From the coast of the Gulf of Mexico to the Chesapeake Bay, the Mississippi River to the Carolina shore, sculptors, painters and photographers have been telling the complex story of the American South for centuries. Now that story unfolds under one roof, and in one groundbreaking book. The Art of the South chronicles this outstanding collection, ranging from ceramics to photography, watercolors to contemporary oil and mixed-media painting.
