His work Visions of the People: A Pictorial History of Plains Indian Life garnered the prestigious Wittenborn Memorial Book Award as one of the five best art history publications of 1992. During his career, Maurer organized dozens of exhibitions at a broad range of cultural institutions, and has received honorary doctorates from Amherst College, St. John’s University and the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.During his long and distinguished career, Dr. Maurer amassed this exceptional collection of headrests representing the wonderful diversity of form and style achieved by the varied peoples of Africa.CHF 400 / 800EUR 400 / 800
