 Barbier-Mueller at the Met

Larry Weinberg by Larry Weinberg


June 11, 2009

Barbier-Mueller African Art Metopolitan Museum photo

Let’s start with the good news: “African and Oceanic Art from the Barbier-Mueller Museum, Geneva: A Legacy Barbier-Mueller African Art Metopolitan Museum photoof Collecting,” running through September 27 at the Met, is a show well worth seeing. The exhibition features 36 works—all masterpieces—from one of the world’s great private art collections. Begun by Josef Mueller (1887-1974) in the 1920’s, and continued by his son-in-law Jean-Paul Barbier-Mueller, the collection was placed on permanent display in 1977. The works on view range across a wide swath of Africa and the South Pacific, and they brilliantly demonstrate the virtuosity and formal inventiveness of individual creative talents.

Now for the not-so-good news: from the title to the installation to the catalog photography, the exhibition raises issues, or at least fails to resolve concerns, which make it difficult to absorb the magnitude of the works presented. ...{+}

A magnificent Luba female figure, Democratic Republic of Congo

Price realized: €547,000 December 2008, Paris

The last years Christie’s always lagged behind Sotheby’s with auctions bringing ten times less than those at Sotheby’s.  This was due to the low estimates that expert Tim Teuten gave on objects to attract dealers, but discouraging collectors to bring in important pieces and collections.
But since they bought out Susan Kloman, things seems to change.International Specialist Head
