Faces of Africa

James Willis Tribal Art and Leslie Sacks Fine Art are two highly respected galleries that have merged their important African collections for a select exhibition of authentic African tribal objects and masterworks. This exhibition at Leslie Sacks Fine Art focuses on objects from Western, Southern and Central Africa. The show consists primarily of masks, figures and ritual objects, most of which link the world of the living with the world of the supernatural.

James Willis has operated James Willis Tribal Arts in San Francisco since 1972. He had a public space on Geary Street for twenty-nine years and has operated a private gallery by appointment at 1637 Taylor Street, San Francisco since 1992. Willis has been on the board of the San Francisco Craft and Folk Art Museum, is a founding member of the Friends of Ethnic Art in San Francisco, a member of the Ancient and Tribal Arts Study Committee of the M.H. De Young Museum, the Center for African Art in New York, the San Francisco Tribal Organization and is an advisor to the Directors Council of The Bowers Museum of Cultural Art. In 2003, he was appointed for a three year term to the Cultural Property Advisory Committee, which advises the President of the United States on cultural property issues

Leslie Sacks has been a major dealer and collector of African art for over twenty five years. It has been twenty-three years since he opened his first gallery in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1981.
