"We can offer the public the rare pleasure of seeing first-hand these magnificent works of art brought together from many of the best-known museums of Europe and America. Leaves of diptychs that have long been divided are reunited here for the first time in modern history. . Scholars from around the world can make close comparisons of stylistically and iconographically similar ivories, testing the correctness of specific workshop attributions. And, as an added bonus that appeals to our human curiosity and challenges our eyes, the last section of this exhibition focuses on a number of ivories that present various problems of authenticity, including several that are blatant modern fakes. The present handsome catalogue advances our knowledge and appreciation of ivories."
