"Sacred Architecture in the Americas" Exhibition
Throckmorton Fine Art
This event has ended.
The exhibit will include images of notable ruins from the pre-Columbian era by an accomplished group of photographers. The pre-Columbian civilizations of the Americas erected buildings and monuments that were guided in their conception, design, and even their location by deeply held and all-encompassing religious beliefs. All architecture was sacred. Architecture was— and remains— a prism of the civilizations’ cosmology. The photographs included in the exhibit are from a wide span of time, from the late nineteenth century to the beginnings of the twenty-first century. Thus, the photographers approached the sacred architecture of the Americas differently.
