Michael Rockefeller Art Bound For Museum
Objects collected by Michael Rockefeller before his disappearance off New Guinea travel to New York for exhibition. About 400 carved items including spears shields drums and masks form a thorough representation of Asmat artistry. Rene Wassing last to see Rockefeller described the collection as of high quality and complete. The items were shipped from Hollandia aboard the Madison Lloyd after the accident.
