1st International Tribal Art Fair - Lot 24
1st International Tribal Art Fair Paris, Hôtel Dassault, Rond-Point des Champs-Élysées, September 19–22, 1998. Narrow in-4°, paperback, illustrated color cover. A richly illustrated color catalog presenting the works and galleries participating in the first International Tribal Art Fair in Paris. This inaugural edition brought together more than twenty international galleries specializing in the arts of Africa, Oceania, Asia, Indonesia, and the Americas. Each dealer is featured with one or more representative works, accompanied by brief descriptions and, in some cases, provenance information. Notable participants include the James Willis Gallery (San Francisco), Jo de Buck (Brussels), and David M. Lantz (New York). Some of the reproduced pieces have interesting provenance histories: for example, a 93-cm Kongo nail figure that was once part of the collections of Patrick Henry Bruce (1880–1937) and Nelson Rockefeller. The catalog is of particular interest as a document on the development of the Parisian market for primitive art in the late 1990s. The series continued: notably, the catalogs for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Salons—held in 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively—are included, confirming the significance of this volume as the first in the series. Condition: very good copy. A few slight marks and signs of wear on the cover; interior is fresh and clean.
