...B.C.E), and sculptures from the Near East, Egypt, and the prehistoric era of the Greek Cycladic Islands. The faded sculptures are placed next to their colored counterparts. This stark contrast between the typical white marble statues and the color-renovated versions forces viewers to break their own pre-established mold of what is considered usual and unusual in ancient art.
