Transfigurations: North Pacific Coast Art
$350.00
George Terasaki says you can see a masterpiece, even at a distance… . Imitations are not a real threat to art. The master carvers knew this. So did the tribe. They recognized talent. The Terasaki collection, assembled over forty-five years, includes a disproportionate number of masterpieces.
—Edmund Carpenter, visual anthropologist
