This volume of photographs and commentary brings together artworks
from one of the most outstanding African-owned private collections
of African art, the Femi Akinsanya African Art Collection. The
collection includes a large number of canonical artworks of Yoruba,
Igbo, Urhobo, Cross River, Benin and Benue River Valley origins.
Its core artworks consist of sculptures from all major regions of
Nigeria, and interesting examples of Edo/Benin bronze and brass
sculptures from the late dynastic and twentieth century interregnum
periods of Benin art. The book uses the diversity, styles and
originality of these artworks to evaluate the material process of
formalising and interpreting an African-owned collection of African
art. Publications focusing on African collectors of African art are
very rare and this limits our understanding of how Africans engage
with indigenous art and cultural production, or questions about
cultural patrimony, in their own contexts. The analysis of this
unique collection provides a significant insight into an unexplored
aspect of African art collections and the role and relevance of
African collectors in shaping the discourse on this art.
