The catalogue presents works from the private collection of Peter Kohler, Ascona, including objects from the Sepik, Yuat, Keram, and Korewori River regions, the Chambri Lakes area, and Manam Island.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA compact exhibition document built from image, region, collection, and sequence. The cover places a single carved figure against a largely empty field, with the title set in ochre lowercase. Inside, the catalogue proceeds through isolated reproductions: masks, sculptural figures, textile fragments, ritual forms, and carved objects held against blank paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design is restrained and sharply staged. A brown vertical band runs through the interior spreads, functioning almost as a filing edge or display strip. Objects are numbered rather than explained at length. The publication turns a private ethnographic collection into a municipal exhibition record: photographed, ordered, and circulated through the Stedelijk\/Museum Fodor apparatus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe back cover carries later handwritten notes and a sketched map-like form in blue ink, marking the object’s secondary life after the exhibition. These additions do not interrupt the catalogue so much as extend its condition: New Guinea becomes image, route, note, price, and retained paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good.
