Notes
- General Note:
- Hiram W. Woodward is one of the world’s leading art historians of Southeast Asia. From 1986 to 2003 he was curator of the renowned Griswold art collection in the Walter’s Art Museum in Baltimore, one of the two greatest collections of Southeast Asian art outside Cambodia and Thailand. His catalogue of the collection, published as The Sacred Sculpture of Thailand in 1997 by River Books, Bangkok, has achieved classic status and his 2003 handbook by Brill of Leiden, The Art and Architecture of Thailand, is now the standard work in the field. Woodward's work is celebrated for its sensitive examination of objects, its scrupulous documentation of their contexts and for its being bound together with an intellectual energy and imaginative verve that has produced a long series of discoveries and breakthrough interpretations.
