SHARED PASSION : An African Art Collection built in the XXIst Century.
, Mercatorfonds, 2023 HB, 310 x 280 mm, 352 pages, 300 illustraties, ENG edition, ISBN 9789462303317.
Although considered the cradle of mankind, the most recent history of the African continent has long been shrouded in mystery. Without leaving any written records, many civilizations rose and disappeared again, only leaving majestic works of art as witnesses of their greatness. Most of these forgotten cultures were only rediscovered throughout the 20th century, often by accident, and scholarship has been struggling to put the puzzle pieces of the last millennia of the African continent back together. Bruno Claessens (1983) is a passionate art expert with 15 years of ample experience in the African art market. From 2010 until 2012, he was the archivist of the Yale University-van Rijn Archive of African Art, before starting as an independent expert in African art, advisor and curator. Claessens has published three books on African art (Ere Ibeji (2013), Baule Monkeys (2016), Un - Prestigious African Weapons (2021)) and runs a popular blog on the subject since 2013. Claessens was the European director of the African art department at Christie's for 5 years. In 2021 he founded Duende Art Projects, an innovative gallery concept, wishing to strengthen Africa's visibility and significance within the art world through curated exhibitions on unique locations.
AFRICAN ART IN THE BARNES FOUNDATION : The triumph of l'art n gre and the Harlem renaissance
, SKIRA / Rizzoli 2015, 2015 Hardcover, 288 pages, ENG, 325 x 235 mm, dustjacket, 325 illustrations in full colour, New, . ISBN 9780847845217.
The first publication of the Barnes Foundation?s important and extensive African art collection. The Barnes Foundation is renowned for its astonishing collection of Postimpressionist and early Modern art assembled by Albert C. Barnes, a Philadelphia pharmaceutical entrepreneur. Less known is the pioneering collection of African sculpture that Barnes acquired between 1922 and 1924, mainly from Paul Guillaume, the Paris-based dealer. The Barnes Foundation was one of the first permanent installations in the United States to present objects from Africa as fine art. Indeed, the African collection is central to understanding Barnes?s socially progressive vision for his foundation.This comprehensive volume showcases all 123 objects, including reliquary figures, masks, and utensils, most of which originated in France?s African colonies?Mali, C te d?Ivoire, Gabon, and the Congo?as well as in Sierra Leone, Republic of Benin, and Nigeria. Christa Clarke considers the significance of the collection and Barnes?s role in the Harlem Renaissance and in fostering broader appreciation of African art in the twentieth century. In-depth catalog entries by noted scholars in the field complete the volume.
