The
Art Gallery of NSW is currently running a magnificent exhibition of Indian, Tibetan, and Nepali art,
Goddess: Divine Energy - just the most gobsmacking collection of paintings and sculptures of Buddhist, Hindu, and related goddesses. It's on until January.
Lloyd sent me clippings on three exhibitions Up Over:
Devi: The Great Goddess, shown at the Smithsonian in 1999;
Divine and Human: Women in Ancient Mexico and Peru, shown earlier this year at the National Museum of Women in the Arts; and the New Yorker review of
The Aztec Empire, shown in 2004 at the
Guggenheim.
