Hi, does anybody know a full photographic documentation of Hoffman's 104 Hall of Man sculptures ? I'm very much interested in this topic. Unfortunately, Henry Field's account in the Anthropological Leaflet is incomplete. Thank you in advance.

I have been looking for such a list or publication for a long time and am pretty sure one does not exist. I even went to the Museum and they don't seem to know [or are not sharing] what they have. At any given time most of their pieces are in storage since the collection was broken up during the 1960s after being deemed racist - or some such thing. IS the booklet that you refer to the one from 1936 or so? From when it first opened? Additional details can be gleaned from "Heads and Tails" - Hoffamn's account of creating the works. What info do you have about this collection? I recently discovered a bust of a male Sioux in the Phoenix AZ Art Musuen that was probably part of the original collection, though it could also have been a second casting {assuming that the Field Museum got #1] Let's talk.

[edit] Images

Alright, I know this is an article on an artist and they tend to have quite a few pictures. However, at the moment, the article looks cluttered to me. I would to remove at least one of the pictures from this article, or increase the ammount of text. Any ideas? Kel-nage 13:51, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Good idea. I suggest that you add more text. Carptrash 20:30, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
