This book collects the most significant writings by the late Dr. Bernard V. Bothmer, preeminent historian of Egyptian art. It makes accessible in one volume his groundbreaking methodology and important finds, particularly with regard to Egyptian sculpture. Thirty one articles with more than 450 photographs span Dr. Bothmer's long curatorial and teaching careers at the Boston Museum of Fine Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Institute of Fine Art at New York University.

For future generations, people like myself, who will not have the privilege of studying or working with Bothmer, this book contains a wealth of information of the working method and the eye of a great Egyptian historian. It provides an example to emulate with regard to its style of writing and elegance in publication.
