The Christmas List:
African Art Now: Masterpieces from the Jean Pigozzi Collection by Andre Magnin
If you love Contemporary African art then this is the book to buy. ‘The Contemporary African Art Collection by Italian collector Jean Pigozzi and French curator André Magnin has managed to make some people very angry. Is it not the worst sort of cultural colonialism, detractors ask, for two white Westerners to define what contemporary African art is, especially when their collection consists almost exclusively of self-taught artists? A major, lavishly illustrated study of contemporary art being produced by the leading artists working in sub-Saharan Africa, this book is a must read for those seeking a glimpse of the future of Africa’.
