Series: The Walters Art Museum

This volume, coinciding with the opening of permanent Art of the Americas galleries at the Walters Art Museum in 2025, examines how, for people in the Indigenous Americas, materials had and continue to have a life of their own.

Ancient and modern craftspeople shaped jade, gold, feathers, and clay into exquisite artworks, but the meanings of those objects are intertwined with the living essence of the raw materials themselves. Thirty-five highlights, ancient to contemporary, provide a window into the spiritual and intellectual context in which these objects were understood by the Indigenous people who made and used them.

AUTHORS: Ellen Hoobler is the William B. Ziff, Jr. Curator of Art of the Americas at the Walters Art Museum.

Patricia Lagardeis the Wieler-Mellon Postdoctoral Curatorial Fellow, Art of the Americas at the Walters Art Museum.
