This pair of figures is an exception in our programme, since it is not a piece of tribal art. In fact it is a magical representation of African contemporary art.
Based on clear Lobi characteristics from the south of Burkina Faso, the artist has created an homage to the love of two people, carved in intimate embracement out of one piece.
We decided for this pair, since we did not want to deprive our customers of this truly beautiful piece.
The pair were given to today’ s owner from the collection of a prominent art collector, Professor Günther Gerken – whose pieces are located to a large extent in the Hamburg Gallery of the Present.
