"William Buller Fagg CMG (28 April 1914 - 10 July 1992) was a British curator and anthropologist. He was the Keeper of the Department of Ethnography at the British Museum (1969 - 1974), and pioneering historian of Yoruba and Nigerian art, with a particular focus on the art of Benin. (.) William Fagg purchased Benin art for the newly founded Lagos museum during his 1958 - 1959 trip to Nigeria. (.) William Fagg curated a number of important exhibitions, with a particular focus on Nigerian art. (.) After the move of the British Museum's Ethnographic collections to Burlington Gardens, Fagg curated many changing exhibitions with the first showcasing the museum's collection of Benin art within a partial reconstruction of the Benin Palace." (Wikipedia). Bereits am Ende des 15. Jahrhunderts wurden an der Westküste Afrikas kunstvolle Objekte aus Elfenbein produziert, die als Handelsgegenstände nach Europa gelangten. Nicht nur das Elfenbein war als wertvolles und seltenes Material begehrt, auch die handwerkliche Könnerschaft der Schnitzer vor Ort erfuhr große Bewunderung. Die so genannte afro-portugiesische Elfenbeinschnitzerei brachte Jagd- oder Signalhörner, Salzfässchen, Löffel und anderes Gerät hervor, also meist nach europäischen Vorlagen gefertigte Gegenstände, die jedoch in der oft figürlichen Gestaltung völlig autonom nach lokalen afrikanischen Form- und Bildrepertoires ausgearbeitet waren. - Weitere Bilder auf Anfrage oder auf unserer Homepage.

Cloth cover. This is the German language edition of AFRO-PORTUGESE IVORIES.

114 pages, 46 photographs--almost all full-page. Cloth cover. Wonderful photographs and a typically splendid (though brief) text by William Fagg illuminate this study of the British Museum collection--probably the world's largest--of Afro-Portugese ivories. The four major groups--pedestal cups, hunting horns, spoons and forks, and miscellaneous objects--are stunningly illustrated in this small folio-size (13" x 9 3/4") volume.
