content: 11 are photos of Karp, 4 are photos of Robert Farris Thompson. These were taken as part of the exhibition Perspectives:
Angles on African Art that the Center for African Art in New York (now the Museum for African Art) did in 1987. Karp was one of ten people who selected and commented on objects for the exhibit. These photos show him in the collections (of the Smithsonian?At the Center for African Art more likely?) examining objects. Several also show him seated at his desk in his office at the National Museum of Natural History with an Iteso twin pot on his desk. One of the latter images appears in the published catalogue for Perspectives; the Iteso twin pot in the photo is now on a shelf Kratz's office in Santa
Fe. The original photos are most likely at the Museum for African Art.
