|
Bonham's African and Oceanic Art sales feature unique and traditional
works from sub-Saharan Africa, Polynesia, Melanesia, Micronesia,
Indonesia and Australia that were created in the early 20th Century or
earlier. Made by the artists for religious, ceremonial or secular use
within their culture, objects in the sale include figurative sculpture,
masks, reliquaries, shrines, architectural ornaments, clubs, shields,
vessels, stools, neck rests, instruments, body adornment and many daily
utilitarian objects.
Recognizing the strong interest in African and Oceanic Art on both the
East and the West Coasts, Bonham's auctions are held twice annually in
New York and San Francisco. Our New York sales feature a diverse
selection of premier items while the San Francisco sales showcase more
affordable works of art. A fully illustrated catalogue accompanies each
auction and is distributed worldwide to collectors, dealers and
institutions. A public preview precedes each auction where guests are
invited to view artwork first-hand and encouraged to ask questions.
