almost impeccable condition.
Of universal appeal and unique beauty, feathers have for thousands of years been used by
people in all parts of the Andeas to adorn themselves and to animate their
environment. Among traditional societies, feathers and objects embellished with
feathers also have great cultural value and are imbued with spiritual energy and
supernatural force.
Similar examples could be found in the Anni and Josef Albers’s collection, as both
have been avid collectors of Pre-Columbian arts throughout their life.
