The Curator’s Eye has announced a selection of tribal and ethnographic art which can now be found online.
The site presents pieces from different origins: African, Native American, Oceanian and pre-Columbian. Amongst notable lots are: a Marquesas Island Club (1700-1830), adorned with a sculpted head of a Tiki (image of a Polynesian god), as well as a Nañaka (1770-1830) — a woman’s ceremonial overskirt exclusively woven by the Aymara women in the town of Toropalca, Bolivia. For lovers of African art, there is a Stylistically Dynamic Zoomorphic “Suruku” mask (1890-1920) also to be presented on the site.
The addition of tribal and ethnographic pieces to the online platform coincides with the final preparations currently underway for the New York Tribal Art Week, to take place in May.
