Customer Reviews
A powerful survey
MATERIAL JOURNEYS is a strong pick for any college-level art library serious about African or Oceanic art representations. This catalogue of holdings comes from the Genevieve McMillan Collection and supplements a study of how African and oceanic arts were brought to Europe with the items in the McMillan Collection, using the collection as a foundation for examining collection strategies as a whole. Any interested in museum holdings, the arts, and African and Oceanic arts in particular will find it a powerful survey embracing many modern art debates, from issues of authenticity to the social, political and commercial forces underlying holding choices.

This is a wonderful book about Genevieve Macmillan's passionate collection of African and Oceanic art. The pictures as well as the accompanying stories are informative. Please correct the review offered by Amazon. It obviously belongs to another book.
