Dedicated to tribal art, Lille’s “Primitive” Art Gallery is to open on 30 January, on the city’s rue Royale.
The space is the result of a collaboration between Emmanuel Provost, François Hacker – both collectors of contemporary and tribal art – and Jean-Christopher Zongo, an expert in African art.
The 120m2 space is to specalise in objects from West and Central Africa, sourced from private collections. Featured objects are to include masks, statues, and everyday items, with featured regions including Burkina Faso, Mali, Nigeria, Liberia, Cameroon, the Côte d’Ivoire, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
