"This booklet remains by far the best introduction to the remarkable stone sculptures from the Cyclades."
Greece & Rome

 

This ground-breaking book surveys the development of Cycladic sculpture produced by unidentified artists who worked in the Aegean islands forty-five hundred years ago. Illustrated with numerous 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.

Pat Getz-Preziosi is the author of Sculptors of the Cyclades: Individual and Tradition in the Third Millennium B.C. (1987) and Early Cycladic Art in North American Collections (1987).
