| 520 | |a "Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in Earth's continental crust. Perhaps because of its abundance, this iridescent, enigmatic material has captivated artists, religious leaders, monarchs, and healers across the world for more than six thousand years. Based on an exhibition organized by curator of contemporary art at Crystal Bridges, Lauren Haynes, and guest curator Joachim Pissarro, Crystals in Art: Ancient to Today catalogs the first show of its kind to explore the complex and varied connections between crystal and art throughout the world, spanning history and geography. Included are ancient artifacts such as engraved gems, skulls, figurines, and vases, alongside works from contemporary artists around the world that explore the power of crystal in art by drawing on its form, properties, and mysterious qualities. Featuring more than seventy-five works from ancient Egypt and Greece, through to Rome, China, India, Japan, the Middle East, the Americas, and beyond, this book invites readers to discover how the power of crystal transcends the boundaries of time and space.
