Africa: Art/Design
Nov 5 – Dec 23, 2021
Pace African & Oceanic Art is happy to present Africa: Art/Design.
At their best the traditional arts of Africa and Oceania are surprising, unexpected and full of genius. Among the existing masks, utilitarian objects and ritual figures there are carvings that stand out, objects that move us, surprise or amuse us because of their sculptural qualities.
Created to convey status or tell a story, the objects, masks and figures presented in our Africa: Art/Design exhibition celebrate creativity and exude aesthetic wonder. Among the highlights are: a Bobo mask; a large Baule Goli mask; a Dan mask with coiffure; a Luba Janus staff formerly in the collection of Sidney and Bernice Clyman; a Lozi box formerly in the collection of Martin and Faith Wright; a magnificent Yoruba divination box; an anthropomorphic Chokwe stool and an Igbo prestige stool.
Pace African & Oceanic Art is a New York-based art gallery specializing in the sales of important antique, African art from central and west Africa, and Oceanic art from the islands of the Pacific. Established in 1971, the gallery maintains an inventory of museum-quality African art, such as masks, figures and other objects, which affirm the aesthetic imagination and mastery of the artists who made them. Pace African & Oceanic Art is a member of the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) and is available for consultation in regards to African art sales and acquisitions, both private and at auction; African art appraisal; and conservation.
