Published 4 times a year, this magazine provides in depth coverage on the African Tribal Art market.
It is not only about African Art but also contains articles from unknown or lesser known tribes from India, American Indian, and other lesser know cultures. I read every article and often find very interesting readings.

There are always full page ads from Tribal Art dealers with plenty of beautiful images. In the March 2010 edition I found the article on old Dan and related tribes collectors and anthropologists a very good read since this is one of my favorites tribes, and also enjoyed the interview Alex Arthur did with Marnix Neerman about his new book “African faces: A homage to the african mask“, it also contained a good article about lesser known Tribal Arts from Central India and much more …
Since it is a magazine the information on actual events like auction and fairs is not always up to date , or when you buy the magazine the announced events in the ads are just passed, but I couldn’t live without this magazine, and I advise strongly every serious collector to subscribe for the in depth knowledge it provides and the beautiful images.

Please be aware that  Tribal Art Magazine is not available anymore through Amazon which is a pity, control freaks I guess at work but African Arts is also a good magazine you should subscribe to:
