The Art of West Sepik focuses on the little known material culture of the Torricelli Mountains and other remote areas of the West Sepik Province of Papua New Guinea. The art is predominantly stark and austere, often without surface decoration but with powerful, archaic forms. The catalogue illustrates over 50 never before published art objects in 68 pages.
