Art Antiques and discussion group. Dear Reader,
This month, I have put www.African-Antiques.com
in some summer clothes,
The month of June has been very active, with seven auctions in Paris and several records broken, like the Lega Ivory that sold in Paris for two and a half million Euros. Fine quality, good provenance and fresh pieces on the markets are still the rules of the game for fetching high prices.
Lega Lukungu Lega Ivory, 20 cm high, sold for 2.4 Million EUROS Bruneaf had more dealers and visitors than ever. Also contemporary art now gets attention and increased public interest expressed itself in high prices paid for work by contemporary African Artists like Chéri Samba. Tell me if you bought some treasures that you want to share in the discussion group with it's 887 members and nearly 11,000 past messages. Or, if you speak French, join Antiques Africaine (125 members) and show us the favorite antique pieces in your collection. I made my blog public at http://africanantiques.blogspot.com http://africanantiques.blogspot.com/atom.xml an Atom-formatted XML site feed to read the next newsletters and my ‘in–between’ ideas. The feed is intended to be viewed in a Newsreader or syndicated to another site. You can see the blog at http://africanantiques.blogspot.com
In July I invite you to go to
Monaco to see 250 African masterpieces from ancient times to the present.
Enjoy the sun, enjoy the reading...

African artifacts The lost art . Sacred objects once imbued with spiritual and cultural meaning are now being mass-produced across Africa and sold to tourists. Have traditional artworks lost their significance as they gain monetary value? Do tourists still believe that these African knick-knacks are products of cultural expression? What makes an African artifact authentic? http://users.telenet.be/african-shop/african_artefacts.htm Owen Mort Out of Africa Thanks to Owen Mort, Utah Museum of Fine Arts can showcase “Arts of a Continent.” Free public Juneteenth celebrated African art in Utah.
