Art of the Andes
July 15, 2024 – July 15, 2025
Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University
Art of the Andes features ceramics, textiles, metalwork, and carvings produced by cultures across the Andes region, a 4,500-mile-long mountain range on the Pacific Coast of South America. These objects, many on view for the first time, reveal the diverse and sophisticated artmaking techniques through which ancient Andeans expressed ancestral beliefs and personal and political identities. The wall case provides a comparative view of the ceramic production of several prominent Peruvian civilizations, presented chronologically from left to right. From the colorful painted motifs of the Nasca and the sculptural realism of the Moche to the whistling vessels of the Chancay, the ceramics depict both realistic and stylized animals, people, deities, food, and scenes of warfare, performance, and pleasure.
