CHICAGO – A translucent, larger- than-life hand with long, tapering fin- gers lends an air of mystery to a new exhibit of ancient and little-known trib- al art at the Art Institute of Chicago. The image of the open hand sug- gests communication between the human community and a world of spir- its beyond, says exhibit curator Richard F. Townsend. But it’s the ancient carv- ing’s origins that tell a less well-known story of how early North Americans lived, providing evidence of what once must have been an extensive trade net- work. The hand can be traced to the ear- ly Hopewell American Indian culture that spread from Ohio before 400 A.D. Although the hand was found in Ohio and is believed to have been made there some 2,000 years ago, it was cut from sheet mica that probably originated in North Carolina, Townsend said. Other artifacts in the exhibit – titled “Hero, Hawk, and Open Hand: American Indian Art of the Ancient Midwest and South” – were cut from seashells, hammered from Lake Supe- rior copper or chipped out of obsidian from the mountain West. “It really wasn’t a wilderness here,” Townsend said, noting the trade and the impressive earthworks left by large tribal communities that once dotted the region. In setting up the exhibit, Townsend assembled a team of archaeologists, art historians, anthropologists and rep- resentatives from Indian tribes descended from the creators of the AP photo artifacts on display. The tribes were Mark Seeman looks at artifacts in a new exhibit called “Hero, Hawk, and Open Hand: America Indian Art of the Ancient Midwest and South” during a media invaluable in interpreting the sym- preview Nov. 19 at the Art Institute of Chicago.

Chinese authorities have pledged to clamp down on fakes but haven’t followed up the promise with enforcement on the ground, LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton Group Chairman Bernard Arnault said. “We need to destroy all counterfeiting,” Arnault said. “It’s like destroying drug trafficking. It’s a vast task and it takes investment from the government to have sufficient people on the field to attack this.” The group’s fashion and leather goods unit, Louis Vuitton, spent 50 million euros in its fight against fake goods worldwide this year, LV chief executive Yves Carcelle said at a news briefing on the sidelines of a fashion conference here. Carcelle declined to say how much of that money went to the battle against pirated goods in China, where counterfeiters operate brazenly and export cheap knockoffs of luxury products to markets around the world.
