Expanding Africa at the Newark Museum:
New Visions, New Galleries 

On View Through May 2013
Features exceptional works of art from the Museum’s extensive and ever-growing collection.  Bringing together contemporary and historic works in a range of different media, the exhibition seeks to broaden conventional ideas about African art while encouraging dialogue about its constantly evolving definition.

For nearly a century, the Newark Museum has been a pioneer among U.S. museums in the collecting and display of African art. Today, the Museum’s nationally known collection includes nearly 5,000 works representing artistic creativity, past and present, from throughout the continent. Tis exhibition features exceptional works of art from the Museum’s extensive and ever-growing collection. Bringing together contemporary and historic works in a range of different media, the exhibition seeks to broaden conventional ideas about African art while encouraging dialogue about its constantly evolving definition.

NEWARK — The Newark Museum is moving ahead with an expansion of its African art department that will result in new galleries for the collection, more staffing and better educational programs, but also signals a serious retrenchment for the facility.

In 2006, the Newark African Art Museum unveiled plans for a $235 million addition, called the  Signature Project (inside members section article continues, with also some images from objects in the collection a video and contact informations). However, ...

In this video I discuss the projects of the Tervuren Museum and the % of shown pieces.

At the end of 2012 the Tervuren museum will close its doors for major renovation works. The expo UNCENSORED. Vivid tales from behind the scenes  is the last exhibition before the work is carried out and your final chance to visit a ‘colonial museum’.

UNCENSORED Vivid tales from behind the scenes (23 September 2011 – 8 July 2012)

I also present some object you can add to your collection.

At the next auction in New York you can buy a Bena Lulua mask estimated at 1,5 to 2,5 million dollars, but since I find this NOT SO AFFORDABLE, for the most of us I wanted to give you a chance to get some nice African art at a much lower price. Make your choice, each object african mask or african statue in the above video  is 1000 €, please contact me if interested, first to contact me get it.
Payment with credit card or paypal.
Free delivery, 15 days money back guarantee.

Dear friends,

I am always alert for new things, as you my friends know, and I
decided to let you know about something new I discovered:


This is something for people who are interested in books and other publications.
A new website which is mostly under construction (that is how fresh
this news is!), but you can find already several items:
The Who is Who in African Art (a few thousand of photos are included, something you
will not find in the printed versions).
Under 'covers' who will find cover of books, ordinary and the rarest,
often with a small info on the publication.
 http://www.africanartarchives.com

What is the purpose of this?: some tips to use it:
A) if you want to know what a certain author has published
B) you want to know which book you missed in 2011, or what is already
happening in 2012 .
C) a topic, a tribe, etc.
Or you wanted to know what is published in a certain country, or city, etc.

I found it fun to use, I also made contributions with scans, maybe you
can be of help
