African Art: A Century At The Brooklyn Museum
This magnificent volume showcases the highlights from a world-renowned collection of African textiles, ceramics, jewelry, masks, and figures from more than fifty different cultures. The Brooklyn Museum was one of the first North American institutions to collect and exhibit African material culture as art rather than artifact. Today the museum's collection numbers more than six thousand pieces and is noted for its artistic quality and educational value, as well as a breadth and depth that would be impossible to achieve today.
