African, Oceanic and Pre-Columbian Art [N08444]

INCLUDING PROPERTY FROM THE BAREISS, BOHLEN AND DINHOFER COLLECTIONS

Dear all,

Baga serpent sothebys nyc The spring sale of African, Oceanic & Pre-Columbian Art is built around an historic offering from several distinguished private collections. The 163 lots offered are estimated to sell for $4.7/6.7 million and will be on exhibition at Sotheby’s New York prior to the auction from May 10th through May 15th. 

Highlighting the sale from The Dinhofer Collection is A Magnificent and Highly Important Baga Serpent (est. $1.5/2 million), a great sculptural object from The Republic of Guinea. This monumental clan insignia was collected in 1957, just prior to the country’s independence, by art dealers Henri and Hélène Kamer. By 1961, the serpent was sold by the Kamers to the gallery of one of the most important dealers of 20th century art: Pierre Matisse, the son of Henri Matisse. In Matisse’s gallery on East 57th Street in New York, the Baga Serpent was exhibited alongside works by Joan Miró and various group shows of contemporary artists including Wifredo Lam, Jean Dubuffet and Alberto Giacometti. The Baga Serpent may have influenced the work of Alexander Calder, who frequented the gallery. 


songye power figure sothebys nycSelections from The Walter and Molly Bareiss Collection of African Art include A Superb and Important Songye Community Power Figure, which was collected in situ by Gaston Heenen, Governor of Katanga, before 1937 (est. $250/350,000)

Punu mask sothebys nycFrom a Private Collection, Sotheby’s will offer a Punu Mask (est. $60/90,000, pictured at right). This lost treasure was published in 1915
in a seminal book entitled Negerplastik by Carl Einstein, which had great influence on artists of the 20th century who
bought the book and studied its objects. A number of sketches and drawings of the African objects from Negerplastik have been found in the notebooks of important artists of the time. The location of this Punu Mask has
been unknown for more than 60 years, and Sotheby’s is proud to offer this rediscovered treasure in its May sale.

Many thanks,
