Formative Stone Sculpture from Mesoamerica at Throckmorton Fine Art

From May 21 to July 11, 2026, Throckmorton Fine Art will showcase POINTS WEST: Formative Stone Sculpture from Mesoamerica. This exhibition includes 60 artifacts dating from 1200 BCE to 400 CE, sourced from collections gathered over nearly five decades across New York, California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. It provides a new viewpoint on the evolution of Formative-period stone sculpture, emphasizing intricate representations of the human form. The opening reception is scheduled for May 21 from 6-8 p.m. A key focus is the Olmec tradition, which artist and historian Miguel Covarrubias referred to as the “mother culture” of Mesoamerica, suggesting its art may have originated in Guerrero's highlands.
