Tribal art in vogue: unique objects at TAF 2008

By now, everyone knows that tribal art is a great way to add a little character to your interior. Its popularity is really taking off, and rightly so. An original mask, for example, goes perfectly with a real Eames chair, Piet Hein Eek cabinet or a classic Chesterfield sofa. Or, you can follow Peggy Guggenheim’s example and combine it with modern art. If you need a little inspiration, come to the Dutch Tribal Art Fair (TAF 2008) in Amsterdam, which will once again feature unique objects.

Tribal art is commonly confused with souvenirs, which are made for tourists. However, tribal art or ethnic art refers to sculptures, masks and utensils made by non-western peoples. One of the big differences with western art is that tribal art has some proven daily use. The objects range from textiles, furniture and jewellery to ritual masks and statues.
Generally speaking, tribal art comes from Oceania, Africa and Asia. The various objects all have their own unique stories. Crafted according to ancient customs and rituals, these artworks add a special touch to a wide variety of interiors.

Although every tribal artwork is distinctive and unique, some especially remarkable pieces will be displayed at this year’s TAF, which is being organised for the sixth time. These will include a mask by the Lega, which was made specially for initiated men, an extremely abstract and mysterious mask from Nigeria that was used during a Chamba masquerade and a procession cross from Ethiopia dating from the 14th or 15th century. Clearly, there is a unique story behind every object and the gallery owners would be more than happy to tell you about it!

A total of 17 specialist art dealers from the Netherlands and abroad will display over 2,000 exclusive objects at TAF 2008. Collectors, enthusiasts and anyone who is curious about tribal art can come and look around or learn more about this art form by attending a guided tour (also for ‘beginners’) or an interesting lecture, all at the stylish ‘De Duif’ church in Amsterdam.

Tribal art is becoming more and more popular and attracting an increasingly broader interest, resulting in sharply rising prices at the famous auction house Sotheby's. Some pieces are even being sold at prices as high as a million each. However, to brighten up the average interior with tribal art, you do not need to pay nearly as much. For example, shields are popular at the moment.
