Book Description
"Tribal Art Traffic" traces the movements of hundreds of thousands of
masks, statues, amulets, shields, pieces of cloth, utensils, and weapons from
overseas tribal cultures to and within North Atlantic societies, in colonial and
post colonial times. While the focus is on the relatively small Low Countries
and their huge overseas territories, the Belgian Congo and the Netherlands East
Indies, related developments in three adjacent colonial powers, Germany, France,
and the United Kingdom, are also covered, as are links to the United
States.
This book charts the means and places through which tribal objects circulated
and continue to circulate: colonial trading posts, missionary posts, attics and
cellars, living rooms, museums, flea markets, monasteries, auction houses,
artists' studios, private collections, and art galleries – are .
In the second part of the book dealers, collectors, and curators relate their more recent experiences with objects-in-motion. This chronicle of European taste, trade and desire sketches the emergence of a western market for tribal art in the course of the twentieth century.

IbedjiAn artistic reaction to the high rate of twinning among the Yoruba of Africa, the approximately 600 beautiful and rare twin figures-ere ibeji-illustrated in this book were chosen from museums and private collections in the United States and throughout the world. Keeping in mind the specifics of use, differences in detail and alterations in style are considered in terms of the effects of the passage of time, including ritual usage and handling. Because a full appreciation of ere ibeji requires an understanding of the history and role of twin figures in Yoruba culture, the essays accompanying the photographs explain this important contextual material.Hardcover; Buy New: $45.50 Ibedji by John Pemberton III (Amherst College) Read also the book comment by Jaques Vogelzang : Ibedji |

a must read, it shows the influences that "primitive art" had on
modern artists by putting side by side the modern art and the inspiration
source. Contains also very good texts by known writers on the subject.
David Norden "Primitivism"
in 20th Century Art: Affinity of the Tribal and the Modern In 1906 tribal sculpture was "discovered" by 20th century artists; these objects had suddenly become relevant because of changes in the nature of modern art itself. These two volumes comprise the first comprehensive scholarly treatment in half a century of the crucial influence of the tribal. read more "Primitivism" |

Norden opinion: "Contains hundred of images from what could be found if you
buy from runners when having some knowledge in African art, certainly no
masterpieces, but also not only fakes ."
Description: African "runners" appeared on the Western art scene shortly after the 1967-1970 Biafran Civil War, when they began exporting artifacts to Europe and America. These native-born dealers, who procure art in Africa through family or business connections, are the major sources to overseas customers of old tribal art, the supply of which is rapidly dwindling. Art Treasures From African Runners features an eclectic collection of more than nine hundred never-before-published photographs of African art and describes the methods of the runners who brought these objects to America. A collector with hands-on knowledge of the African art trade, John R. Rohner presents African art from a fresh angle, offering a fascinating portrait of cultural contrast as he defines the differences between African and Western art dealers and details his own experiences with runners. His personal anecdotes give life to the images collected in this remarkable assemblage, which is the result of twelve years spent selecting a broad range of objects of wood, bone, ivory, metal, stone, animal hide, textiles, and ceramics from the vans of the runners. Rohner's collection represents the work of more than one hundred African tribes--from as far west as the Bissagos Islands and as far east as Tanzania and Madagascar--and showcases many rare and unusual pieces, including a number from unknown origins that will be of interest to Africanists.
Offering a wealth of comparative information, Art Treasures From African Runners is ideal for the collector as well as the general reader with an interest in African art.
John R. Rohner is curator and professor emeritus of the University of Colorado Museum in Boulder. He taught Museology and techniques of conservation and restoration to Africans from Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda for over twenty years.

exhibition review
Editorial Reviews
Book Description Pondering the origins of the world and their own ancestry,
African societies often sought to provide answers to these and other perplexing
concepts in their oral traditions, poetry, and art. The Bamana people of Mali,
for example, attributed the invention of agriculture and their understanding of
the earth, animals, and plants to a mythical hero called Chi Wara, shown in
sculptural form as a roan antelope. The elegant Chi Wara headdresses were
created in wood in male-female pairs and worn during agricultural ceremonies.
This stimulating volume examines the Chi Wara headdress as an icon of African sculpture and presents forty examples of this well-known form. Major artistic traditions in other African societies-including the Dogon of Mali; the Yoruba of Nigeria; the Bwa, Bobo, Kurumba, and Mossi of Burkina Faso; the Kuba and Luba of the Democratic Republic of the Congo; and the Chokwe of Angola and Zambia-are also discussed in terms of the distinctive cultural perspectives and local traditions that inspired them. The masterworks featured and analyzed are drawn from public and private collections in the United States.
This book is the catalogue for an exhibition that will be held at The
Metropolitan Museum of Art from November 19, 2002, to April 13, 2003.

the Art of a Continent This book is written by Tom Phillips for an exhibition that was in London, it contains masterpieces from all Africa, from Egypt to South-Africa and with good explanations and illustrations. One of my favorite books, it contains pieces never published before, all with strong artistic values. David Norden Price: $66.50
by Jean-Baptiste Bacquart.
This books contains small images from all types of african art, maps and
explanations on the use of them. If you must own one book I would say buy
this one, it is very easy to put names on unidentified carving from whole
africa with only this book. Price was 35$ now $20.97, but to
get free shipping you must buy for more than 25$, so you could also take the
opportunity to buy it in a package together with "Masks of Black
Africa" by Ladislas Seguy, see description below. David Norden
The Tribal Arts of Africa Price was 35$ now $20.97 Very cheap and a Must have at Amazon Books
USA Today, Deirdre Donahue, 3 December 1998
The layout is particularly interesting because it intersperses dramatic color
photographs with small black-and-white photographs and text about the art, the
tribes and the traditions. Written by the former head of the tribal arts
department at Sotheby's, the book is an excellent introduction to African art
created before 1920.

Masks of Black Africa, November 6, 2000
Reviewer: A reader from SHAWNEE MISSION, KS USA
Since I deal with masks from Africa I am constantly looking for more information on the subject. I have again and again come back to Ladislas Segy MASKS OF BLACK AFRICA. The illustrations are representative of the many different masks used by African tribes. The text and maps help you further to deepen your understanding of the masks that are representative of the area. When I do research on African Masks my first step is Ladislas Segy.

History of Art in Africaor A History of Art in Africa( harcover) $59.50
Book Description: A groundbreaking work, this is the first book to cover the arts of the entire continent of Africa, including Egypt, and to survey the art history, rather than the cultural traditions, of African peoples. The authors' unique synthesis of up-to-date research on African arts of many periods and geographic areas has resulted in a major contribution to the literature of art history.
Thousands of years of African art, from prehistory to the present, are considered, encompassing sculpture, painting, architecture, textiles, ceramics, and the myriad art forms of personal adornment and performance. Individual authors contribute chapters on their areas of expertise, yet the whole volume works as a seamless text, weaving together everything from prehistoric Saharan rock art to contemporary sculpture, including the rich, multi-faceted art of the African diaspora. Brilliantly illustrated throughout, and including full indexes and bibliography, this volume is a milestone in the study and future perception of African art.
