Book synopsis

Nelson A. Rockefellers collection of more than 3,000 pieces of Mexican folk art is widely considered to be the most exceptional in the U.S., and Folk Treasures of Mexico celebrates these icons with more than 150 photos of the pieces, many of which are quite rare. In the main text, Marion Oettinger, Jr., director of the San Antonio Museum of Art, describes the objects according to function: utilitarian, ceremonial, decorative, or for play. Originally published in 1990, the book contains a preface by Rockefellers daughter, Ann Rockefeller Roberts, who was instrumental in finding permanent homes for her fathers stunning collection, which can now be found in the San Antonio Museum of Art and the Mexican Museum in San Francisco. Including a glossary, bibliography, and chronology, Folk Treasures of Mexico is a must-read for anyone interested in Latin American art, culture, and history.
