Eternal Ancestors: The Art of the Central African Reliquary
Eternal Ancestors presents some of the most celebrated creations of African masters in a new light. Many of these works were muses to members of the Western avant-garde, who collected and closely studied them for their inventive aesthetic qualities in their studios during the early 20th century. In light of their role in altering the course of Western art, the works examined are among the most influential masterpieces of the African artistic canon. Exhibition runs through March 2, 2008.
