| The Department of Art History invites you to attend the second in a series of lectures that forms our Emerging Scholars Series. The aim of this lecture series is to better orient our own faculty, students, and broader NYU community to the exciting field of the arts of the Ancient Americas. James A. Doyle (Director, Matson Museum of Anthropology; Associate Research Professor of Anthropology and Affiliate Professor of Art History, Penn State University) will be presenting the lecture “The Royal Arts of Ancient Panama.” Please Note: All non-NYU community members will need to register for this event in order to gain access to the campus building where this event will be held. Please RSVP below. In ancient times as in the contemporary world, Panama was the center of the Americas, a vital landscape that served as a nexus of intellectual and material exchange between North and South America and between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Ancestral artists from the Isthmus created astonishing painted ceramics and ornaments of cast and hammered metals, greenstone, marine shell, fragrant plant resins, and other materials. These works formed elaborate burial assemblages lavished upon important patrons in some of the richest entombments in the ancient world. The Royal Arts of Ancient Panama represents a long-term research and exhibition project reevaluating the art and archaeology of societies known as Gran Coclé (ca. AD 500-1100) in Central Panama, undertaken in partnership with Panamanian scholars and Indigenous knowledge holders. The collaborative international project aims to reveal new insights about distinct forms of governance in human societies, proposing a new model of divine kingship based on archaeological evidence and 16th-century observations by Spanish colonizers. After establishing the interpretive framework for Coclé artistic production as a courtly, royal practice, the project reconceptualizes the extraordinary forms and iconography of bodily regalia and the production and decoration of ceramic feasting vessels. This fresh take on Gran Coclé artistry also implicates the enduring legacies of U.S. imperialism and highlights contemporary cultural connections with the Indigenous descendants in Panama today. |

The Royal Inca Tunic
A Biography of an Andean Masterpiece

| The Department of Art History invites you to attend the first in a series of lectures that forms our Emerging Scholars Series. The aim of this lecture series is to better orient our own faculty, students, and broader NYU community to the exciting field of the arts of the Ancient Americas. Andrew James Hamilton (Associate Curator of Arts of the Americas at the Art Institute of Chicago; Lecturer in the Department of Art History at the University of Chicago) will be presenting the lecture “The Royal Inca Tunic: A Biography of an Andean Masterpiece.” The most famous work of Andean art in the world is an enigmatic tunic in the collection of Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, DC. Thought to be the only surviving royal vestment of the Inca Empire, it has also spawned controversial theories that its intricate patterns are a long-lost writing system. For over a decade, Andrew Hamilton, associate curator of Arts of the Americas at the Art Institute of Chicago and lecturer in Art History at the University of Chicago, has conducted careful physical studies of this rare, royal, and radiant object. In this talk, he will piece together its remarkable life history and preview his new book forthcoming with Princeton University Press in May 2024. |
