Fondation Dapper - Chefs d'oeuvre inédits de l'Afrique Noire - Bordas 1987

Two thousand years of Black African history through masterpieces from private collections and museum reserves. To illustrate the chapters of this book, tens of thousands of objects have been examined. From archaeology, terracotta and metals, to the more refined art of ivory and wood (masks, statues and environmental objects), over 300 objects are highlighted by photographs of exceptional quality.
Under the dir. of Gérald Berjonneau and Jean-Louis Sonnery
Texts by Bernard de Grunne and Robert Farris Thompson
