Engaging Modernities

 

Transformations of the Commonplace


 

 

 

This book accompanied an exhibition held at the Durban Art Gallery during 2003. The contents therein are the property of the Standard Bank Collection of African Art, which is held at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. The exhibition was first shown at the Albany museum in Grahamstown during the 2002 at the  National Arts Festival.

 

 

     

 

 

For those who like verbal, this is the book for you. In amongst the generous color photographs you will find the odd bit of interesting tribal art, for example a Makonde mask, a Zambian staff, a Swazi belt and carved gourd by Kumalo.

 

 

 

         

 

 

It is unfortunate for us as vendors, to learn that those who had purchased the staff  in the 1990's, failed to preserve photographic records of the gentleman who once owned the staff - which they were provided. It is our pleasure to share with you the photograph - above right. 

 

 

Price: $70.00 plus postage.
