Description
"The Southeast Asian archipelago includes numerous islands that are strewn with stone monuments and statues. Some of these carvings date back to an ancient-past that is almost impossible to calculate. Others are but a few decades old." "A number of these sculptures reach such an impressive size that they might almost rival the well-known giant carvings of Easter Island." "For nearly a quarter of a century the Barbier-Mueller Museum has striven to assemble a coherent collection of these monolithic monuments." "Although other events have since enabled art lovers to learn more about the archipelago's stone sculptures, never has a single exhibition been devoted entirely to this art - until today. Happily, that shortcoming is a thing of the past."--BOOK JACKET.
