Pre-Columbian art is one of the richest and most rewarding subjects in the history of both art and archaeology. It is also one of the most remarkable, not only because of the extremely varied and often prodigious output it covers, but because all the great pre-Columbian artifacts were produced during centuries when mechanical aids, including the wheel, were practically unknown in that part of the world; these were works of art which, quite literally, ‘owed everything to the hand and eye of the American Indian’. This survey, by one of the foremost authorities in his field, covers an area ranging from Wisconsin to Argentina and spans in time the four millennia from 2500 BC to the arrival in the New World of the Conquistadors.
