Gordon Reece: the art of collecting : 23 May - 16 June 2017

Uittreksel

Focusing on tribal African art, and including works by 20th-century British artists influenced by such art, the exhibition is presented "in collaboration with the preeminent dealer in historical Asian and African artefacts, Gordon Reece. ... Over his thirty six years as an art dealer, he has ... helped popularise tribal art. For this exhibition ... [the Fine Art Society] approached Gordon Reece to curate a selling exhibition of our own works alongside those from his personal collection, with a focus on history, rarity, and fine craftsmanship. The exhibition is an opportunity to reflect on the artistic merit of the tribal pieces and how they relate to European art and design."--Publisher's website.
