Art of the Abelam is a 264-page hardcover exhibition catalogue edited by premier Oceanic art dealer Michael Hamson, published to accompany his 2015 Parcours des Mondes exhibition in Paris. The book serves as a high-quality visual and scholarly survey celebrating the peak of Abelam artistry from Papua New Guinea. Exceptional Masterpieces: The catalogue features 170 historical Abelam objects. The curated selection deliberately highlights older, museum-quality pieces to display the absolute best of the region's traditional craftsmanship. Scholarly Essays: It compiles critical commentary, field insights, and contextual research through contributing essays written by prominent tribal art experts, including: Siobhan Campbell, Laurent Granier, Virginia-Lee Webb, Ph.D. Diane Sheehan Michael Hamson Anthropological Themes : Explored While showcasing physical carvings and masks, the volume contextualises how closely tied Abelam art is to their spiritual life and agriculture: The Power of Paint: Explores how the Abelam viewed paint as an animating force. Without ritually produced pigments, a carving was considered "dead wood. "Yam Culture: Contextualises iconic pieces like wooden yam masks, which are used during public ceremonies to decorate harvested long yams, transforming both the crop and the community members to honor ancestral spirits. Out of Print: Because copies were primarily distributed to gallery clients and specialized institutions at the time of the exhibition, it is now entirely out of print from the source.
