online version at http://www.african-arts.info/november_2007.htm 

Dear $email, 

The African Art world is still very active, and the winter season promise to be hotter than usual .

The African Antiques site was getting a little bit to big with thousand pages to manage, so I created a new site  www.african-arts.info based on the same concept to add the new articles.

I had to announce many dealers exhibitions this month, like Tookalook.com - Tribal Arts in Canada and some very attractive auctions like the Gelbard Collection auction at Bonhams in New York.

For those of you who are in Europe this weekend, Brussels & the Winter Bruneaf have a look at Visser gallery , it's a beautiful Art Nouveau house with fine Tribal Arts and don't miss  "Encompassing the Globe: Portugal and the World in the 16th & 17th Centuries" at the Bozar near the Central station . It was organized by the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in partnership with the National Museum of African Art; it is now in Brussels through February 3, 2007 . 

By bringing together more than 180 extraordinary masterpieces, this exhibition has the purpose to explore the unity and diversity of the cultures that contributed to Portugal's trading empire. From Africa to Brazil passing trough China, Japan and the Indian Ocean, it provides... >> More info

You might also go to Netherland to visit the World Premiere Ubangi in Berg and Dal (in Brussel Marc Leo Felix has an exhibition on the same thematic in the "Impasse Saint Jacques" )

If you want meet me in real, you can stop in Antwerp, and see the many new impressive pieces I acquired ( a few thumbs at the bottom of this page)

Don't forget Mr. Bedaux in Utrecht, his show in Amsterdam was really impressive, and if you are looking for high end pieces, he has many.

Cameroon Art At QCC New exhibition Queensborough Community College unveiled a new art exhibit  titled "A Cameroon World," featuring a wide array of art and artifacts from the small central African country.

World Premiere: The Ubangi exhibition at the Berg en Dal Museum (read also the Dutch Ubangi kunst )

Female figure, Mbanza, Dem. Rep. Congo.Female figure, Mbanza, Dem. Rep. Congo.

This exhibition Ubangi is the first of its kind in the world. It focuses on art styles that have long-since fascinated enthusiasts (including many artists from an early stage), but which has never yet been displayed collectively. This is because of the relatively small-scale production of art in the region, the distinctly abstract style that is so unusual elsewhere in Central Africa, and the extremely scant information about the makers and users of the various objects. The area portrayed in the exhibition lies in the heart of Africa, on both sides of the border between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic. This part of Africa is one of the last ‘white marks’ on the map ‘discovered’ by Europeans at the end of the 19th century.

The catalogue Ubangi is edited by Jan-Lodewijk Grootaers

Best Price EUR 114,00

Another top notch exhibition is in Paris is Animal:

Animal DapperLe Musée Dapper à Paris est un Musée privé avec des expos de qualité. Ce n'est pas le seul Musée d'Art Africain  en France (Le MOAA de Marseille est un autre grand exemple ), mais le seul musée privé à ma connaissance avec des expositions d'une si grande qualité, avec des catalogue tres soignés. Cet automne vous pouvez voir l'expo Animal Dapper ainsi que Bêtes et Hommes à la Villette. A Paris il y a bien sur le quai branly avec entre autre une expo sur la restoration indigène des objets, et une expo sur l'Art du Benin à Branly

The trade and exhibition of African art on the international market is a large scale business on a global scale, while it is undervalued and its importance overlooked in many African countries.
