Event Description:
The High Museum of Art's African Art collection prominently features the art and material culture of West and Central African makers, reflecting the cultural, social, and visual histories of these regions from antiquity to modern day.
The collection includes traditional masks and wood-carved objects of functional and aesthetic significance, as well as fine art paintings, prints, and ceramics. The Museum made its first African acquisition in 1953, a d'mba headdress from Guinea, and the collection grew substantially over several decades due to the generous support of patrons Fred and Rita Richman.
