Sainsbury centre of visual arts

The Robert and Lisa Sainsbury Collection features work spanning 5,000 years of human creativity. Modern work by artists such as Henry Moore, John Davies, Alberto Giacometti and Francis Bacon sits alongside art from Africa, the Pacific, the Americas, Asia, Egypt, medieval Europe and the ancient Mediterranean. The Lisa Sainsbury Collection of Modern Pots includes work from Lucie Rie, Hans Coper and Rupert Spira.

The African objects within the Sainsbury collection are drawn from areas within Western, Central and Eastern Africa such as Benin, Yoruba, Ghana and Zaire, and span the 15th to the 20th century. Sculptural highlights include a Fang Reliquary Head from Gabon, the striking Head of an Oba from Benin, Nigeria and strongly detailed and expressive figures from Zaire such as the Ceremonial staff.

Other works in the collection include dance masks, ceremonial axes, batons, messenger staffs, heads and figures, musical instruments, dress ornaments, combs and ritual dolls.
