The Mark Gordon Collection of Southeast Asian ethnographic art offers a unique and compelling case for a greater appreciation of the genre. The visually inspiring works illustrated in this book, many published here for the first time, were collected over a period of almost three decades. Together, they represent an irreplaceable artistic resource that documents the sophisticated aesthetic traditions of the region's ancient but lesserknown indigenous cultures.

Soft cover. Etat : Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 196 pages. Published in 2011. Catalog of the author's personal collection. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Mark Gordon's "Ancient Echoes: The Mark Gordon Collection of Southeast Asian Indigenous Art". Brief Foreword by Jose Ramos-Horta, Co-Founder, Past and Current President of East Timor. Otherwise, lets the pieces speak for themselves as works of art, not just artifacts. As such, it is a considerable contribution to the ascendance in our very belated time of Asian indigenous art as an art form and as works of art. Which are two different things: Form is generic. A work of art is created by an artist-craftsman, singular, even unique, within the genre's tradition. "This book showcases an irreplaceable artistic resource that documents the sophisticated aesthetic traditions of Southeast Asia's ancient but lesser-known indigenous cultures. Tribal art pieces from Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, the Eastern Islands, the Philippines, Melanesia, and 'Farther Shores'. These objects have the added advantage of being seldom (if ever) published" (Mark Gordon). With hardly any text, just the art please, exquisitely photographed, and magnificently printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper to the highest standards. The Catalog's purpose (apart from showing off Dr. Mark Gordon's collection and taste) is the reader's leisurely enjoyment and aesthetic pleasure. An absolute "must-have" title for Southeast Asian indigenous art collectors. This title is highly collectible. This is one of very few copies still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws ("Very Good") because they were avidly pored over. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with color plates. A fine copy. ISBN 981086423X. no. N° de réf. du vendeur 24140
