Form Through Time is a journey through world history and culture, bringing together Fine Ancient Art, Tribal Art & Natural History into a curated whole. These works offer a glimpse onto the distant peoples who created them, and reveal how the art of the remote past stimulated many of the great twentieth century artists, with a tangible connection to our modern day.
