October 11, 2002–April 6, 2003
The Henry R. Luce Center for the Study of American Art, The American Wing, mezzanine
A sampling of the Museum’s holdings of secular and religious arts made in colonial Latin America. Drawn from the collections of several departments, the installation highlights the creativity of artists working during the era of Spanish rule, from the Rio Grande to the Andes, from the period of evangelization through Independence. The installation will include a selection of the Museum's comprehensive collection of Mexican glazed ceramic ware known as Talavera de Puebla, Mexican and Andean textiles and silver, painting and polychrome sculpture from all over the Spanish-speaking Americas and the Philippines, and a group of wooden keros, the traditional ceremonial drinking vessels of the Andes.
The installation is made possible by Paula Cussi.
