Summary

The humble fish hook derives its form from its function: to catch fish. But in cultures where fishing is central to the way of life, the crafting of fish hooks is elevated to a form of art. Fish Hooks of the Pacific Islandsbrings together the finest specimens from private collections all over the world. Included are more than three hundred newly commissioned photographs showing over six hundred fish hooks at their actual size, accompanied by details on their features and provenance. This is the first comprehensive catalog of Pacific Island fish hooks in more than eighty years, and it brings together vast amounts of new information, including recent discoveries and updated research. In addition, the book includes contributions by Sydney Picasso and oceanic art expert Anthony J. P. Meyer. Opulently illustrated and unprecedented in its comprehensiveness, Fish Hooks of the Pacific Islandsoffers an incredible amount of information and will be essential to scholars and collectors of tribal or Pacific Island art.
