SENUFO SCULPTURE FROM WEST AFRICA
New York: Museum of Primitive Art, 1964. 126 pages, 186 photographs. Hard board cover, with dust jacket. Fine condition. Item #6425
In 1964, the Museum of Primitive Art presented an exhibition of Senufo art--the first ever mounted in the United States. Many of the objects in the exhibition had never before been exhibited or published. This scarce catalogue-monograph (the first to have been published solely on Senufo art) of that exhibition contains splendid photographs and Goldwater's descriptions and analyses of Senufo art styles, and a brief discussion and photographs of "modern works," i.e., fakes--perhaps the first time this topic had been examined in the context of African art.
