We often assume that works of visual art are meant to be seen. Yet that assumption may be a modern prejudice. The ancient world – from China to Greece, Rome to Mexico – provides many examples of statues, paintings, and other images that were not intended to be visible. Instead of being displayed, they were hidden, buried, or otherwise obscured. In this third volume in the Visual Conversations in Art & Archaeology series, leading scholars working at the intersection of archaeology and the history of art address the fundamental question of art’s visibility.
