Please join us at the Handwerker Gallery for a talk by John Scott, professor Emeritus,  Florida State University, "Collecting Pre-Columbian Art in the time of the Easbys."  The talk accompanies the exhibit, "As They Saw It: The Easby Collection of Pre-Columbian Art," which highlights the art collection assembled by pre-Columbian art scholars Dudley and Elizabeth Easby in the mid-20th century. 

Professor Scott was a colleague of the Easbys, and collaborated with them on the ground-breaking exhibit, "Before Cortés," staged at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1970. A specialist in pre-Columbian art, Professor Scott will speak about the history of mid-20th century collecting.

The talk is this Thursday, April 9th, at 6 pm in the Handwerker Gallery.

The exhibit, "As They Saw It: The Easby Collection of Pre-Columbian Art," will be on view through April 17.

The talk is sponsored by the Department of Art History and the Handwerker Gallery.
