Papier / Paper. Condition: Gut. 15 p.: ill. Leicht berieben, vergilbt, sonst guter Zustand / Slightly rubbed, yellowed, otherwise in good condition. - FOREWORD In a world of African art filled with "Masterpieces," "Masterworks," "Treasures," "Jewels," and other superlatives too numerous to mention, in which objects and collections of every shade and nuance of quality are presented, it becomes difficult to maintain one's perspective about rare or exceptional objects of high quality when one does encounter them. Most private, and many public collections have only a handful of such pieces, amidst some perfectly fine objects which are "delicious," "iconographically significant," or just plain fun; and the lower echelons swell with uncounted "ordinary," "uninspired," or bad examples. There are, after all, a limited number of pieces in the top two categories, and that number is shrinking as time and inherent weakness take their toll. In preparing the catalog for a long-overdue exhibition of traditional African sculpture from the Raymond E. Britt Family Collection, I decided to pick ten pieces which fall into the top two categories, and discuss them without resorting to hyperbole. A majority are very rare, others are exceptionally beautiful, some are both. Here are ten objects which I think will benefit scholars and collectors in their revelation. There are more such pieces in the Britt Collection, but these are ones I think the public should know about because they exemplify high aesthetic standards in their respective cultures. Besides, I like all of them a lot. I don't think there are any great leaps of faith or logic in my research, and I am certain that all the mistakes are my own. To those who have helped me, in particular Theodore Celenko, Curator of the Harrison Eiteljorg Collection of African Art, and Dr. Roy Sieber, Rudy Professor of Fine Arts, Indiana University, Bloomington, I say thanks for sharing the thrill of the hunt with me. To all of those Snite Museum employees, past and present, who typed, pasted, and listened, I owe a special debt. And to Gary Mills, who patiently photographed all of the pieces, I am grateful indeed.
