Part of the reason is location for New Guinea is a remote island the size of France and Italy combined just east of Indonesia and hovering above Australia in the South Pacific. . The appeal of New Guinea art lies in its extraordinary resourcefulness and creativity. For centuries the people there have made objects in order to communicate and interact with the spirit world. Many of the objects based on myths and ancient religious themes are the equal of many of the world's great sculptural masterpieces. Some were made in response to health or fertility or rites of passage; others signified an individual's stature in a village; and others invoked the end of a mourning ritual or warded off evil and sickness. . The art of New Guinea can be seen in its fullest and richest depiction ever in this elegantly presented two-volume publication. More than 600 masterworks come from Marcia and John Friede who have devoted decades to the study and pursuit of these works. ." <br><br>CONDITION: Both volumes are fine in fine dust jackets. The slipcase is near fine with some rubbing and scratching at the bottom along with a minor corner bump at the head at the back. A very very nice set worthy as a gift to any art collector connoisseur or travel enthusiast. <br><br>PLEASE NOTE: At over 14 lbs. with shipping materials due to its size and weight an additional shipping charge will apply.
