Oceanic Art / Ozeanische Kunst / Art Océanien

Köln : Könemann, [1995]. Single volume second edition. Folio (320 x 275 mm), publisher’s gilt-lettered cloth over boards, in pictorial dust jacket (very good); pp. 640, with a total of 731 illustrations in colour and b/w, maps; half title with pale foxing, faint damp stain to top edges of last few leaves, but an excellent reference copy.

Parisian tribal art dealer Anthony Meyer’s monumental and fabulously well illustrated publication is probably still the best general introduction to Oceanic Art available. Covers the cultures of Melanesia, Polynesia and Micronesia.
