First published in 1985, this ground-breaking book surveys the development of Cycladic sculpture produced by unidentified artists who worked in the Aegean islands 4,500 years ago. Illustrated wherever possible with objects from American collections--with particular emphasis on some two dozen pieces in the Getty Museum--this volume surveys the typological development of Early Cycladic sculpture and identifies, where possible, the work of individual sculptors. Newly revised and updated, this book is a concise introduction to the field.
