<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 3226347, member: 8267&quot;]I am sorry to hear this news. I had the privilege of taking one of Bill Holm&#039;s courses at the University of Washington as an undergraduate, but was too shy to take more advantage of his presence in the Burke Museum when I worked there as a student. He was already an esteemed elder then. His work in analyzing and articulating the formal language of Northwest Coast art was unique, and was so important in reviving an art that was almost gone. While I sometimes have mixed feelings about the objects that have been collected and retained in anthropology museums, his work was an example of what good can come out of such collections. I was told he had visited every museum with NW Coast objects (including in Russia) to study every example preserved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
