I remember seeing this exhibit on a school field trip a long long time ago and these works of art stand out in my memory as vivid as the Egyptian mummies. Maybe this exhibit is one of the reasons I found tiki. I've been to the Detroit Institute of Arts a few times over the last 7 years trying to see these, but the DIA went through a multi-year renovation which had several exhibits closed. I was hoping these pieces would be displayed again here when the renovation was complete, but alas not. Here is a link to Abebooks where you can get a book on the Masco collection at the DIA. http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=wardell&kn=masco&sts=t&x=68&y=14
