African Art at The Met
Met Museum publications make great gifts for art lovers.
Published to celebrate the reopening of The Michael C. Rockefeller Wing at The Met, this Bulletin reintroduces the Museum's collection of art from sub-Saharan Africa. Alisa LaGamma explores more than 40 key works from across the continent and outlines the historical and contextual parameters through which they are displayed. David Pullins and Mamadou Diouf delve into the landmark painting Tabaski III (1970) by Senegalese artist Iba Ndiaye (1928-2008). Inspired by old masters of Europe and West Africa, Ndiaye resisted categorization throughout his career and challenged assumptions about artmaking and identity. Taken together, this volume provides a fascinating discussion of African art and its critical place in global visual culture.
