Max Carocci (MA, PhD Social Anthropology) is an anthropologist with 30 years
experience specialising in Native North American arts and culture. In addition
to having taught indigenous arts of the Americas at Birkbeck College and The
American University in London, Max has been consultant for Bonhams
Auction House, several European museums, The Royal Academy of Arts
(London), The Horniman Museum, and the British Museum. He has curated
exhibitions of Native North American art both in the UK and abroad. Max is
the recipient of fellowships and scholarships from The British Academy and
Sainsbury Research Unit at University of East Anglia. He was sole author of
two books on Plains Indian arts (McGill University Press, the British Museum

culture. He has contributed to the indigenous North American artists section
of the Benezit Dictionary of Art (Oxford University Press Online), and has
published in catalogues for exhibitions of contemporary Native artists such as
Sarah Sense, Shan Goshorn, and Chris Pappan. His current work with
indigenous North American artists aims at bridging the distance between art
historical and anthropological approaches to Native North American arts.
