对美国最重要的非洲艺术藏品之一进行开创性分析

 

弗吉尼亚美术馆的非洲艺术藏品是美国最全面的藏品之一，涵盖了来自非洲大陆各地的各种媒介的作品，时间跨度从古代直至现今。这本精美的著作是博物馆策展人与保护人员之间开创性合作的结晶，得到了安德鲁·W·梅隆基金会的大力支持。书中呈现了藏品中的精华——其中一些作品此前从未公开发表——并附以最新的科学分析和成像技术。全书共六章，详细阐述了在收集和保存非洲艺术品过程中所涉及的历史编纂学和技术问题。这一成果有望加深我们对这些艺术品在其原生社区中的动态表现，以及它们现在在博物馆环境中展现方式的理解。

 

A groundbreaking analysis of one of the most significant collections of African art in the United States

 

The collection of African art at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts is among the most comprehensive in the United States, featuring works in all media from across the continent dating from antiquity to today. This handsome volume, the product of a groundbreaking collaboration between the museum’s curators and conservators, supported by a major grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, presents highlights from the collection—some never before published—alongside new scientific analysis and imaging. Six chapters detail both the historiographical and technical concerns at play in collecting and conserving African art. The result promises to deepen our understanding of the art in the dynamics of their original communities and as they appear now in a museum context.
