Sotheby's
African, Oceanic & Pre-Columbian Art
Auction held in: New York
Sale Date: 11/11/04
No. of Lots: 301
No. of Pages: 256
New York, New York - On November 11, 2004, Sotheby's will hold its fall sale of African, Oceanic and Pre-Columbian Art, featuring an important selection of classic African works of art, in addition to a number of Mayan cylinders and Jaina figures from private collections and estates. The property will be on exhibition in Sotheby's sixth floor galleries from November 6th to 10th at 1 PM, and the sale is expected to bring $4.1/5.7 million.
Highlighting the sale is a Bangwa male commemorative figure of a king, of Fotabong Nsheu, pictured on page 1. Following Sotheby's 1990 sale of a famous Bangwa commemorative queen figure, formerly in the Helena Rubinstein and Harry Franklin Collections, which sold for $3.4 million and holds the world record for an African work of art sold at auction, Bangwa royal figures are among the most renowned African works of art. The work of a master carver, this powerful figure is 41 inches high and exhibits a straight back, tense suspension of the bent arms, an elongated and arching neck set against the opposing plane of the expressionistic head, all unified by layer upon layer of a deep, blackened patination. In the same celebrated tradition of representing royalty as the earlier queen figure, he is adorned with royal accoutrements including a drinking horn and pipe in each hand, a series of ivory bracelets, a beaded collar and a ceremonial headdress. This effigy has been in a private European collection since the 1960s, and the estimate is available upon request.
From the Rosenberg Collection is a magnificent Songe female power figure with an exceptionally fine blackened patina (est. $30/40,000). The highly-stylized figure has an angular jaw, heavy-lidded eyes and an elongated neck encircled with glass beads, as well as a notched coiffure inset with a resin magic binder and horn. Another figure, almost certainly by the same hand, is in the collection of the British Museum.
A fine and rare Dayak, Kalimantan, baby carrier from the Collection of Gustave and Franyo Schindler will also be included in the sale, pictured right (est. $30/50,000). Assembled primarily in the 1950s and 1960s, this collection is among the foremost African and Oceanic collections. Dayak baby carriers held only the babies of high-ranking members of society and one of this condition is extremely rare. The carrier itself, as well as the motifs, was all intended to protect the baby from malevolent spirits, particularly in the early months of life.
Selections of works from the Collection of William Hughes Hayden, a banker and philanthropist who began collecting in the 1970s, will be featured. Mr. Hayden collected African art thoughtfully, and his aesthetic pursuits were complemented by his support of numerous charitable causes in Africa. Among the highlights from his Collection is a superb Yoruba Gelede headdress, pictured left, which was used among the western Yoruba near the Nigeria-Benin border. Intended for instruction and reinforcement of Yoruba social values, the Gelede ceremonies were held during funerals of dignitaries and during times of crisis (est. $20/25,000).
Another African work, an example of exceptional early craftsmanship is a rare and important Benin ivory bracelet, circa 16th century (est. $100/150,000). This delicate bracelet is characterized by its extremely thin hollowed cylindrical form. Intricately carved, its exterior is highly-decorated with a repertoire of complex Benin motifs including two images of a central king, or Oba figure, flanked by two high-ranking chiefs and central Oba figures supported by attendants. Interspersed are a highly-complex interconnected series of Benin royal images including tortoises, fish, leopards, elephant and crocodile heads, snakes biting snails, birds, kola nuts and leaves.

Among the Oceanic works offered in the sale is a superb New Guinea flute-stopper male figure from a European Private Collection has crescent-shaped eyes, a pierced nose and a crown of cassowary feathers, pictured right (est. $280/350,000). Carved without the use of metal tools, this magnificent figure was used for ceremonial purposes and mounted on a bamboo flute in Lower Sepik River, Yuat River, Biwat.

The Pre-Columbian section will feature approximately thirty works from The Charles Pankow Collection, which comprises a distinguished group of Maya ceramic objects with notable examples of both polychrome and carved vessels and a concentration of Jaina figures. Made for both the ruling class and popular use, the Maya material provides a close look at characters in the iconography of the Maya myth, the Popul Vuh, and sheds light on the ideals of Maya society. From this collection is a Mayan standing dignitary Jaina, Late Classic, ca. A.D. 550-950, pictured left, a figure with a simple loincloth, jade ornaments and headband holding back a fringed coiffure (est. $15/20,000). Also from the Pre-Columbian offering is a fine Mayan codex vessel, Late Classic, ca. A.D. 550-950, well-published and widely recognized and for its importance within the repertoire of codex vessels, pictured below (est. $100/150,000). Among the most elegantly painted vase of the school typified by the Princeton vase, the iconography eloquently illustrates one of the most important figures of the Maya pantheon, the aged deity Pawatuun, a principal god of the scribes, instructing young lords. Another feature of this section is a large Maya lidded blackware vessel, Early Classic, ca. A.D. 250-450, majestic in proportion with a high-domed lid and rattle tetrapod legs (est. $100/150,000). The vessel is finely-incised with two panels on the exterior and vividly depicts iconography of the Underworld of Maya mythology, a zoomorphic creature with a scrolled pupil on the watery surface of the Underworld.

    Hector Acebes, Isolde Brielmaier, Ed Marquand
    Portraits in Africa: 1948–1953
    Seattle: Marquand Books. Washington University Press
    2004
    144 pp.
    Hardcover
    chiefly ill. Includes bibliographical references.
    ISBN: 0295984139
    Abstract:
    "The author, who is the director of the Hector Acebes Archive, penned the biography for this publication. It features over ninety striking images in monographic form. Distributed by the University of Washington Press, the book features a discussion by Isolde Brielmaier comparing Acebes' work to that of other photographers."
    "A monograph of Hector Acebes best photographic work in Africa. Taken in Mali, Guinea, Kenya, Cameroon and Central Africa these ninety images includes striking portraits and landscapes. Includes a brief biography of Acebes and an essay placing his work in the context of other photographers working during the same time period."
    "Photographing with the box camera his father had given him, Hector Acebes noticed as a teenager in the 1930s that his pictures of friends and family were consistently sharper and more carefully composed than those taken by his schoolmates. This innate talent, combined with solid training in engineering and an attraction to adventure, eventually grew into a long and productive career as a documentary and industrial filmmaker. It is Acebes's still photographs from his travels in the late 1940s and early 1950s throughout Africa and South American, however, that may become his most important legacy. With the respect they command for the individuals who appeared before his lens., these recently rediscovered images attest to Acebes's photographic gift. They offer a valuable resource for scholars and students of local societies and cultures in Africa and South America, yet their importance reverberates far beyond the classroom. Today, Acebes's images are recognized as fine art--works of beauty and grace that showcase the photographer's technical ability and masterful compositional skills. Even more evident are the confidence and respect he established with his subjects--qualities that shine through to elevate his work beyond the documentary. Acebes's portraits offer our jaded imaginations a fresh look at people, cultures, and experiences that have changed dramatically over the past fifty years. We see individuals, families, and communities set among monumental architecture, busy markets, and broad landscapes, all viewed from the passionate perspective of a young man, curious and captivated by the vigorous energy and beauty of what he saw.
    This book presents the exquisite work of Hector Acebes for the first time in monograph form. Over ninety striking images are richly reproduced in duotone.
    Ed Marquand, director of the Hector Acebes Archive, introduces Acebes in a brief biography.
    Isolde Brielmaier, a noted art historian of African photography, places Acebes's African work in the context of other photographers shooting in Africa at the time. She also discusses the qualities of Acebes's work that distinguish his photographs today."
    "The collaborative effort of Isolde Brielmaier (Visiting Professor of Art at Vassar College) and Ed Marquand (Director of the Hector Acebes Archive), Hector Acebes: Portraits In Africa, 1948-1953 showcases the photography of Acebes taken in Africa in 1948, 1949, and 1953. These black and white photographic images have justifiably been acclaimed as some of the most beautiful photographs of Africans ever taken. The images, however, were hidden away in Acebes' photography studio in Bogota, Columbia, and it was not until 2003 (when Acebes was 82 years old) that he had his first art gallery exhibition. With the publication of Hector Acebes: Portraits In Africa, 1948-1953, (which is enthusiastically recommended for personal, academic, and community library Photography Studies collections) full justice has now been accomplished with respect to bringing a lasting access to Acebes's photographic artistry to the general public."
    "A passion for adventure and a talent for photography led Hector Acebes to Africa where he created a stunning body of work in still photography and documentary films. His loving portraits of individuals, families, and whole communities illustrate daily life in Africa from the late 1940s to the early ’50s. Ed Marquand is the director of the Hector Acebes Archive and he introduces you to this amazing artist while Isolde Brielmaier, an historian of African photography, puts Acebes’ images in the proper context. Together, they bring the book to life as you share Acebes grand adventure."

    Présentation de l'éditeur:
    "Hector Acebes est encore adolescent, dans les années 1930, quand son père lui offre son premier appareil photo Box. Très vite, il remarque que les clichés qu'il fait de sa famille et de ses amis l'emportent en netteté et en composition sur celles de ses camarades d'école. Ce don inné, joint à une solide formation d'ingénieur et à un goût précoce pour l'aventure, est à l'origine d'une longue et fructueuse carrière de documentariste et réalisateur de films industriels. Toutefois, ce sont probablement les photographies qu'il a prises au cours de ses voyages à travers l'Afrique, entre la fin des années 1940 et le début des années 1950, qui constituent le volet le plus important de son œuvre. Ces images récemment redécouvertes attestent l'immense talent d'Acebes. Aujourd'hui, ses images sont considérées comme d'authentiques œuvres d'art - dont la beauté et la grâce révèlent les aptitudes techniques et le sens de la composition de leur auteur. Encore plus évidents sont la confiance et le respect qu'il témoigne à ses modèles, une qualité qui élève son travail au-dessus du simple documentaire. Ses portraits invitent le spectateur le plus blasé à considérer d'un œil neuf des hommes, des cultures et des modes de vie qui ont subi de profonds changements au cours des cinquante dernières années. Ces individus, ces familles, ces communautés vivant dans l'ombre d'édifices monumentaux, ces marchés grouillants d'activité, ces vastes panoramas nous sont restitués par le regard passionné d'un jeune homme curieux, captivé par la beauté et l'énergie de l'Afrique. Cette monographie est la première consacrée à l'œuvre admirable d'Hector Acebes et comprend plus de quatre-vingt-dix illustrations reproduites en duotone. Hector Acebes a aujourd'hui plus de quatre-vingts ans. Il vit à Bogota, en Colombie."

    "Documentariste, réalisateur et photographe, Hector Acebes a été captivé, durant sa jeunesse, par la force et la beauté de l'Afrique. Témoins, ces 90 portraits d'hommes et de femmes du Mali, du Cameroun, de Guinée... qui sont autant de tableaux saisissants d'une Afrique ancestrale totalement préservée."

    Hector Acebes ses images sont aujourd’hui considérées comme d’authentiques oeuvres d’art. Pendant des années 1948-1953 il a parcouri l’Afrique et prix nombreuses photos de paysages, monuments et surtout les portraits (hommes et femmes) en MALI (Touareg, Dogon), Guinée (Bassari, Foula), Cameroun, Bénin, Nigéria, Congo belge (Mangbetu), Rwanda, Tanzanie (Massaï). Cette monographie est la première consacrée à l'œuvre admirable d'Hector Acebes.
    L'auteur, qui a voyagé en afrique entre 1940 et 1950, a réalisé un ensemble de photographies récemment redécouvertes.

    Book Description:
    Idealized pairings have been an enduring concern of sculptors across the African continent. This universal theme of duality is now examined in a handsome book that presents African sculptural masterpieces created in wood, bronze, terracotta, and beadwork from the twelfth to the twentieth centuries. Drawn from twenty-four sub-Saharan African cultures, including those of the Dogon, Lobi, Baule, Senufo, Yoruba, Chamba, Jukun, Songye, and Sakalava, the sculptures tell much about each culture's beliefs and social ideals. These artistic creations are astonishingly rich and diverse forms of expression.

    Idealized pairings have been an enduring concern of sculptors in many sub-Saharan African cultures. This exhibition examines the theme through approximately 60 works of sculpture in wood, bronze, terracotta, and beadwork, dating from the 12th to the 20th century. The examples are drawn from some 30 distinct African traditions, including those of the Dogon, Lobi, Baule, Senufo, Yoruba, Chamba, Jukun, Chokwe, Hemba, Songye, Luba, Mangbetu, and Sakalava. The astonishingly rich and diverse forms of expression considered have been selected for their aesthetic attributes as well as their specific cultural significance. The earliest works displayed are an array of seated male and female couples in terracotta and bronze from the ancient urban center of Djenne-Jeno in present-day Mali. These sculptures, likely dating from the 12th century, were created to be placed on altars and carried as personal amulets. In later works from the region, created between the 16th and 20th centuries by Dogon sculptors, imagery of couples relates at once to Creation, productivity, and the fundamental interdependence and complementarity of man and woman. The elemental abstract graphic motif is a pervasive element of the iconography of Dogon artifacts, ranging from freestanding sculpture created for ancestral altars to carved granary doors and locks. Pair or Janus representations, as seen in many of the traditions that are featured, reflect the object’s role in bridging human and ancestral realms in order to elicit divine insights into the human condition. Across central Africa, paired figures are an integral aspect of the insignia of leaders that comments upon the divinely ordained nature of kingship.

    An essay written by Alisa LaGamma discusses thirty works, all of which are illustrated in color.

    This book is the catalogue for an exhibition on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (February 10 to September 5, 2004).
    A collection of African sculptures depicting couples, exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
    The text explains the context of the art works and the place of the couple in African world views.
    Illustrated in colour.

    "L’esposizione è il frutto di una di una ricerca etno-storica condotta dal Centro Studi Archeologia Africana di Milano nel Togo, abitato dalle popolazioni Évhé-Ouatchi. L’indagine, durata quattro anni, si è sviluppata intorno alle località di Afagnagan e Aklakou fino al fiume Mono - confine politico tra il Togo e il Benin – e ha permesso di collezionare sculture, oggetti rituali, pali figurati, filmati, suoni e di mettere in luce alcuni aspetti culturali del mondo vodu, religione tradizionale delle popolazioni locali."
    "Con questa difficile dedica si apre il catalogo che poi è un vero testo sull'argomento della mostra "Evhé-Ouatchi" organizzata dal Centro studi Archeologia Africana presso il Museo di storia naturale di Milano. Un argomento insolito, misterioso ed esoterico anche se questo non è l'obiettivo di questa interessante mostra che pur in ristretto spazio si presenta in modo attraente, anche per certe soluzioni espositive come quella di far vedere alcuni oggetti attraverso aperture in una strana parete nera che in uno sfodo altrettanto nero fanno apparire agli occhi, all'inizio quasi abbagliati dall'oscurità, colori ed immagini quasi surreali. Il Centro Studi Archeologia Africana da molti anni, fin dalla sua fondazione, si occupa con intenti scientifici, come dice il suo stesso nome, di archeologia africana, materia questa che in questi ultimi due secoli è divenuta fondamentale per l'antropologia, per lo studio cioè delle nostre origini che ormai accertato cominciano proprio da questo antico continente. Il testo-catalogo ci racconta come da un pò di tempo, sul "mercato" dell'antiquariato africano abbiano cominciato ad apparire oggetti che, apparentemente non forse troppo appetibili da un punto di vista estetico, hanno trovato un certo interesse. Sono proprio questi che la mostra presenta e che emanano un fascino sottile e per certi versi misterioso perchè provengono da un mondo di magia dal quale forse non siamo poi così lontani. Dice Marc Augè nella sua prefazione: "... attirano lo sguardo perchè ci ispirano una certa familiarità. Strana perchè questi dei-oggetti non ci riguardano, non sono concepiti per noi. Familiarità, perchè conservano qualcosa di umano che ci sfugge e ci provoca". Il libro cerca di interpretare alla luce della nostra mentalità, attraverso gli scritti di Giovanna Parodi da Passano, di Alessandra Brivio, di Albert de Syrgy, di Bruno Gilli e di Gigi Pezzoli il significa to di questi oggetti visti e reperiti sul campo durante un lungo percorso di studio nel sud del Togo."

    Publisher's summary :
    A tribal people located in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Songye are best known for their distinctive statuaries and masks, which for centuries have been used to protect villages, ward off enemies, and bring fertility and wealth. Approximately one thousand of these pieces are shown in this vibrant collection. The Songye often named their statues and decorated them with horns, skins, beads, tacks, shells, and bits of cloth. As a result, each item displays a singular, impressive identity. Considered to be imbued with magical energy and used only by village shamans, these statues have enormous cultural and historical significance, and they are also powerful works of art in their own right.

    Songye statues are fascinating in form and exude an impressive beauty. For power, intensity and inspiration they have no equal in Central Africa.
    This volume illustrates around a thousand examples, which have been the subject of a highly detailed morphological, stylistic and historical study. There is a close relationship between the two major known traditions - those of the western regions, from the Belande to the Eki, and the stylistic centres of the Kalebwe and the Songye in the east. The creation of a Songye statue requires the intervention of three persons: the smith, the sculptor and the nganga or witch-doctor. Their collaboration transforms the statues into active powers: efficacious and redoubtable. In them we discover an unsuspected dimension that harks back to the very origins of the Central African peoples. Human beings, as they measured themselves against the forces of the universe, developed a new political and social culture through an esoteric form of acquired knowledge. The Songye statues, silent witnesses of this transition, have finally won their place in the history of art.

    avec 240 ill.
    Ce livre est le catalogue accompagnant l'exposition qui a circulé en 2005 (Grenoble, Aix en Provence, Paris) présentant 240 pièces de sculptures, masques et miniatures représentant l`oiseau dans l`art de l`Afrique de l`Ouest comme le calao, le vautour, l`ibis ou la pintade, organisée par la Société des amateurs de l`art africain.
    Extraits d'une interview de l'attachée de presse de la Société des amis de l'art africain qui organise cette exposition :
    "on s'est efforcé de rechercher des sculptures où l`oiseau est présent dans des compositions anecdotiques ou allégoriques, seul ou en compagnie d`autres animaux. Une large part a été faite aux petits objets en laiton, poids à peser l`or, bagues, pendentifs, bracelets, regroupés sous le terme de miniature. L'oiseau est l'une des espèces animales la plus souvent représentée dans l`univers rituel et artistique des cultures africaines chez les Akan, les Dogon, les Yoruba, les Senoufou ou les Baoulé. De nombreux rites sacralisent l`oiseau, tels les funérailles, la divinisation, les rites de guérison, les cultes de fertilité, la purification du village, les sacrifices aux ancêtres, la lutte contre les sorciers...Toutes les pièces présentées au cours de cette manifestation, qui pour la plupart n'ont jamais été exposées, proviennent du Mali, du Burkina Faso, de Guinée, de Côte d`Ivoire, du Ghana, du Bénin, du Nigeria et appartiennent à des collectionneurs privés."

    Voyez aussi l'extrait du "Figaro" du 28 janvier 2005:
    Sculptures, miniatures, masques... 240 pièces de collections privées sont réunies à l'occasion de l'exposition «L'oiseau dans l'Afrique de l'Ouest». Les pièces proviennent du Mali, du Burkina, de Guinée, de Côte d'Ivoire, du Ghana, du Bénin, du Nigeria et n'ont jamais été exposées. Une grande première.
    Des grands classiques, tels l'oiseau senufo ou les masques à bec de l'ouest ivoirien, aux pièces inconnues voire inédites, les amateurs et les connaisseurs pourront admirer une large sélection d'objets. Sculptures en bois ou en ivoire, coulées en laiton ou en bronze, terre ou fer martelé, l'oiseau est l'une des espèces animales les plus répandues et les plus représentées dans l'art africain. Il a été choisi pour sa forte symbolique dans l'univers artistique des cultures africaines.
    De nombreux rites sacralisent l'oiseau, tels les funérailles, la divinisation, les rites de guérison, les cultes de fertilité, la purification du village, les sacrifices aux ancêtres, la lutte contre les sorciers...
    Quant aux mythes, l'oiseau y est le symbole d'une alliance avec l'homme. Reproduit sur les insignes du pouvoir, l'oiseau possède une véritable autorité royale ou représente le pouvoir du chef. Ce n'est pas tout, l'art africain considère que l'oiseau assiste le devin en tant que diseur de choses. Une véritable sacralisation de l'animal, dont il n'existe aucune reproduction de sa morphologie, mais seulement de ses caractéristiques essentielles, par exemple le bec ou les ailes.

    Afrique mystérieuse Les peuples oubliés de la vallée de l'Omo

    Aux éditions Solar
    2004
    503 pages
    26.00 x 26.00 cm

    Aux confins de la vallée du Rift, entre l'Ethiopie, le Kenya et la Somalie, s'étend l'immense et pourtant méconnue région du fleuve Omo. Cette région sauvage, hostile, dangereuse même, abrite une extraordinaire mosaïque d'ethnies vivant isolées au cœur d'une Afrique encore intacte, sans liens ou presque avec le reste du monde. Une Afrique comme à l'aube de l'humanité, où le courage se mesure au nombre d'hommes tués au combat, la richesse en têtes de zébu, et l'honneur à la fidélité aux rites ancestraux. Ce superbe reportage photo, fruit de longs mois de vie parmi ces populations retranchées, part ainsi à la rencontre de peuples fiers, impitoyables, fascinants : terribles chasseurs de crocodiles, guerriers aux corps peints telles des fresques vivantes et femmes majestueuses, parées de bijoux, qui dansent dans la nuit, à la lueur des flammes, leur passion de la beauté, leur amour de la vie. Hommage à la splendeur d'une Afrique éternelle, ce livre dérobe à ces peuples un peu de leur mystère et de leur magie, avec respect et amour, pour mieux en comprendre les enjeux sociaux et culturels face à une occidentalisation presque inévitable. Un inoubliable voyage.
