Esther Pasztory was Lisa and Bernard Selz Professor emerita of pre-Columbian Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University. She has published extensively in the field of pre-Columbian art, including the first art historical manuscripts on Teotihuacán and the Aztecs. Born in Hungary, she emigrated to the United States in 1956, after the anti-Communist revolution. She attended Vassar College and Barnard Collage where she received a BA in art history. With her dissertation at Columbia, entitled The Murals of Tepantitla, Teotihuacán, she received her PhD in 1971.
One of the world’s ground-breaking authorities on pre-Columbian art, her works speak to the heart of the American experience.
In addition to her scholarly work, Esther writes: “I am often looking for a humorous, lighthearted read on a serious topic, with a bit of fantasy thrown in. So I wrote some myself.”
