The American Wing of the storied Metropolitan Museum of Art has long held a collection of typically “American” artifacts: portraits of wigged colonial leaders, Tiffany chandeliers, Frank Lloyd Wright chairs, silver owned by Paul Revere Jr., quilts by unknown 19th-century makers. Together they tell a specific, but noticeably incomplete, history of the United States. Beginning in the fall of 2018, however, the American Wing will attempt to course correct by including a subgroup of art that has been regrettably missing from the section: Native American art. Thanks to a donation from collectors Charles and Valerie Diker, a batch of 91 works of Native American art will be headed for the American Wing, marking a historic change in the way art is curated at New York’s most famous museum. In the past, Native American art has been housed in The Met’s Arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas galleries, a section that spans 3,000 years, three continents and several islands. According to The New York Times, this was a bit confusing to international patrons who were accustomed to seeing indigenous art displayed as part of their own national narratives. “They go through [the American Wing] and expect to see Native American work here,” Met curator Sylvia Yount explained. “Because often where they come from, indigenous art is part of the narrative of a nation’s art, in a way that it’s not in the United States. We’re really behind the curve.” The Met characterizes its move to incorporate work from the Dikers ― including bowls, dresses, drawings and bags created by Washoe, Wasco, Arapaho and Anishinaabe artists ― into the American Wing as a “curatorial decision to display art from the first Americans within its appropriate geographic context.” “This transformative gift marks a turning point in the narratives presented within the American Wing,” Rebora Barratt, deputy director for The Met’s collections and administration, wrote in a press release shared with The Huffington Post. “With the addition of these works, The Met will be able to offer a much richer history of the art of North America, one that will include critical perspectives on our past and represent diverse and enduring native artistic traditions.” Back in 2013, Katherine Abu Hadal made a strong case for why the curation of Native American art matters. In a piece titled “Why Native American Art Doesn’t Belong in the American Museum of Natural History,” she argued that work by Native American artists deserves just as much respect as Greek and Roman artifacts. “When Native American, Pacific, and African art and artifact is lumped in with natural history exhibits, it sends a message that these groups are a part of the ‘natural’ world,” she wrote. “That the art they produce is somehow less cultured and developed than the western art canon. It also sends the message that they are historical, an element of the romantic past, when in reality these peoples are alive and well, with many traditions intact and new traditions happening all the time.” The Dikers themselves have been vocal advocates of curating Native American art just as one would non-Native art. For their exhibition “First American Art: The Charles and Valerie Diker Collection of American Indian Art,” the Dikers asked National Museum of the American Indian organizers to display their collection as artistic masterpieces, rather than as artifacts. Those eager to see The Met’s change in curation will still have to wait until the fall of 2018. (A press representative at The Met declined to give any further information on the collection’s timeline of display.) You can see a preview of the works headed for the American Wing here, courtesy of the museum. Here’s to hoping that, ahead of The Met’s 150th anniversary in 2020, we’ll see more progressive moves toward making the historic institution a more inclusive, accurate and representative place. type=type=RelatedArticlesblockTitle=Related... + articlesList=58ab6476e4b0f077b3ed1677,5894a85ae4b0c1284f2588e5,58af00e2e4b057efdce9bd55,58863477e4b096b4a23332c9,58c6dd50e4b081a56dee37f3,58a4a7a8e4b094a129f17389 -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.

Several people with knowledge of the talks and a person involved in the negotiations said the hostage deal was linked to one of the largest population transfers in Syria's six-year-long civil war, and was delayed for several days due to an explosion one week ago that killed at least 130 people, most of them children and government supporters, waiting to be transferred. The complexity of the talks highlights Qatar's role as an experienced and shrewd facilitator in hostage negotiations — this time involving members of the Gulf Arab state's ruling family. Both groups were part of an armed opposition alliance that swept through Syria's Idlib province, seizing it from government control in 2015 and laying siege to two pro-government villages now being evacuated. The abduction of the Qatari group drew Iran, Qatar and the Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah into negotiations, resulting in millions of dollars in payments to Sunni and Shiite factions, according to Iraqi officials and a person involved in the negotiations. The opposition-run Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the Syrian conflict through a network of on-the-ground activists, says the transfer included 800 armed men from both sides. The population exchange has been criticized by rights groups, which say it rewards siege tactics and amounts to forcible displacement along sectarian lines. Qatar says it does not support extremist groups in Syria or elsewhere, despite aggressive efforts to back Sunni rebel groups fighting to oust the Syrian government, which is backed by Iran and Russia. Qatar has also secured the release of hostages in Syria's civil war, including 13 Greek Orthodox nuns held by an al-Qaida affiliate there.

Happiness | Arseholery | Leftovers | Spoiler alerts Sharon Cooke (Letters, 19 April) writes that Gaby Hinsliff’s formula for happiness is not a new one and quotes Salford’s first MP who said “My riches consist not in the extent of my possessions, but in the fewness of my wants”. He might have been quoting Epicurus, who 2,200 years earlier wrote, “If you wish to make Pythocles rich, do not give him more money, but diminish his desires” and also “Nothing satisfies him for whom enough is too little.” JOE COCKER _Leominster, Herefordshire_ • The achievements of Kathrine Switzer are remarkable (Marathon struggle of runner who changed athletics, 19 April). But it should be remembered that the “woman who jumped out of the bushes” in 1967 was Bobbi Gibb, who finished the race 50 minutes quicker than Kathrine Switzer and is the officially credited winner not just that year, but in 1966 and 1968 too; and can equally be described by your headline.
