AFRICAN ART & CULTURE:
SELECTIONS FROM THE COLLECTION
The African Collection of the Neuberger Museum of Art provides an introduction to the richness and complexity of the artistic traditions of Africa. Focusing on central Africa, the collection spans a broad geographic range from Mali to Mozambique, offering artistic insight into over thirty cultures.
Of the major works on display, many come from the collection of the late Lawrence Gussman, a notable collector and resident of Scarsdale, New York. Among them are a very rare harp, indeed the only anthropomorphic harp of the Tsogo peoples of Gabon known to be in an American museum, and two forceful Fang reliquary guardian figures.
Visit our AFRICAN ART WEBSITE which showcases many outstanding examples from the collection, including 360 degree views of several objects.
