Dear
reader,
Your challenge is to find genuine old
pieces that were made
for tribal use, not commercial products
made only to be sold to outsiders.

FAIR ARNHEM (II)
In
Januari ( more information will follow in the next newsletter but you can mark
the date in your agenda):
ART FAIR ARNHEM (II) Netherland. 9 - 18

Preview party .
on Saturday 10 January 2004 at 3 pm
and/or preview evening on Friday 9 January
at 7-10 pm
New pages.
I just added the Travel
page to the website, because people must travel if they
wish to build a collection with quality pieces. The Brussels
and Antwerp page
are nearly done. If you are a dealer from these towns you are probably
mentioned. I provide a small, free advertising space to all dealers
guaranteeing that their pieces are old and not made for tourists.
Alternatively you can have your own page on the website if you wish. If you
are a professional dealer or have some related business we would like to
present your collection on
Discussion groups.
TESTIMONIAL: 10/29/03
David,
One benefit to me of my African art collection is that it's a strong reminder
of my personal connection, having grown up there as a result of my parents' more
than thirty years in Nigeria. This is particularly true of my personal and
family items; but is also true of my more recent acquisitions; stone carvings
from the Shona tribe of Zimbabwe, and traditional (ceremonial--artifact quality)
masks and statues.
Our house is full of this kind of art and I take great daily pleasure looking
at it, from room to room. Besides having much pleasure in looking for
"treasure" in antique shops and flea markets, as well as various
web-sites on the internet, I'm convinced that this is one hobby that offers a
significant return on investment (should I ever choose to sell). Meanwhile, I
enjoy researching each item; documenting it; and organizing my materials to pass
on (with the items themselves) as an inheritance to my daughter, herself an
artist.
David's website has been a wonderful place to read, listen and participate in
an exchange of ideas by persons in many places, who share this common interest.
Thanks to all who have contributed, and especially to David who puts forth the
effort to maintain it.
