PRESS RELEASE EDITORIAL

PARCOURS DES MONDES 2018 THE WORLD’S LEADING TRIBAL ART SHOW

I

n its seventeen years of existence, Parcours des Mondes has continually consolidated its position as the world’s leading art fair for the arts of Africa, Oceania, Asia, and the Americas. This multiple-venue event is held in some sixty galleries located in close proximity to one another and is a rare opportunity to regale the senses, an experience rendered all the more pleasant by the Parisian Indian summer weather. Those responsible for the pleasures that visitors will experience are, of course, the sixty-four exhibiting dealers, the finest in their fields, who from September 11 through the 16, will gather in the heart of Paris’ Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood. Together they will host collectors, aficionados, and the merely curious from around the planet who will attend this annual event and, through it, become better acquainted with the world’s peoples and the tremendous wealth and variety of their artistic traditions and representations.

PARCOURS DES MONDES EXPANDS ITS HORIZONS This year’s Honorary President is not only a major player on the contemporary art scene but also an avid aficionado and collector of antique non-European art. Adam Lindemann is director of New York’s Venus Over Manhattan gallery and his presidency of Parcours des Mondes once again underscores the importance of the relationships between the fields of tribal and contemporary art.

AN HOMAGE TO THE 1930 EXHIBITION AT THE GALERIE DU THÉÂTRE PIGALLE An homage to the legendary 1930 exhibition organized by Tristan Tzara, Charles Ratton, and Pierre Loeb at the Galerie du Théâtre Pigalle in Paris will be presented at Espace Tribal in the form of a thematic exhibition.

Produced in collaboration with Tribal Art magazine, the show is the brainchild of Nicolas Rolland and Charles-Wesley Hourdé, two important young figures on the tribal art market, and it will reunite a selection of artworks that were displayed at this historic event, the impact of which was decisive in developing both the aesthetic taste and the market for tribal art. Archival documents and photographs will augment the objects.

The 1930 show also will be the subject of the morning programs at Café Tribal as well as for the evening lectures that have made Espace Tribal well-known as central hub for discussion and interaction at Parcours des Mondes.

THEMATIC EXHIBITIONS At first glance, Parcours des Mondes might seem akin to an expedition through time and space to discover the mores and cultures of an exotic “other”—at least as seen from the perspective of the “self” to which we are accustomed. In reality, the event ultimately is an invitation to take an internal journey to consider universal issues and themes that are fundamentally the same for all people but to which approaches differ from continent to continent. Manifesting this concept are the outstanding thematic exhibitions that many of the Parcours des Mondes galleries will present, which are always a highlight of the fair.

Ultimately—and this is where its greatest merit lies—Parcours des Mondes transforms us through its invitation to experience art as the reflection of a greater being who exists without limits or borders and who, through representation and ritual, tirelessly searches to comprehend the incomprehensible and, ultimately, the sacred phenomenon of life.

PRESS RELEASE HONORARY PRESIDENT

ADAM LINDEMANN, HONORARY PRESIDENT OF THE 2018 PARCOURS DES MONDES

A

dam Lindemann is recognized as a tastemaker in collecting and investing in contemporary as well as in African and Oceanic art. He also operates Venus Over Manhattan, the influential gallery in New York City devoted to iconoclastic exhibitions both historic and contemporary.

Adam Lindemann born in New York, United States of America

Lindemann is also known for his art writing, specifically, his popular art column he published in The New York Observer, as well as two of Taschen’s bestselling art books, Collecting Contemporary (2006) and Collecting Design (2010).

However, Lindemann is perhaps best known for breaking records in contemporary art auctions. In 2007, he sold Jeff Koons’ Hanging Heart, setting the world record for a work by a living artist at that time. In May of 2016, he sold Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Untitled (Devil), setting the all-time record for a work by that lauded artist. He has also been a featured commentator in several documentaries and has given memorable interviews relating to collecting and art as an asset class. He lives and works in New York City.

PRESS RELEASE HONORARY PRESIDENT

F

or the 2018 edition of Parcours des Mondes, I have the distinct pleasure of serving as the fair’s honorary president. Collecting tribal art was my introduction to art collecting more generally, and I appreciate the honor of this invitation to be part of one of the most keenly anticipated events in the world of tribal art.

I’ve always loved juxtaposing contemporary Western art with historic African and Oceanic works as a means to examine the literal power that art objects confer. In the early twentieth century, African and Oceanic objects were popular collectibles and a source of inspiration for many European artists. Picasso references African aesthetics in several Cubist masterpieces, and exposure to traditional African art was a major factor in bringing the power of abstraction into Western art. Oceanic works from New Guinea and the Pacific Islands were collected by artists and poets such as Alexander Calder and André Breton, and these works are often considered to have had a profound influence on the development of Surrealism. Whether these connections are general or literal matters little; the point is that tribal art had a major impact on Western artists through the first half of the twentieth century. These works transcend religious and ethnographic meaning, and they can be appreciated as art in its purest form.

In 2016, I organized an exhibition called Fétiche at my New York gallery, Venus Over Manhattan. The show assembled some thirty works of contemporary Western art—by artists like Huma Bhabha, Bernard Buffet, Alexander Calder, Jean Dubuffet, Jimmie Durham, Mark Grotjahn, Richard Prince, Andra Ursuta, and many others—with historic African and Oceanic works, and it encouraged dialogue around the various ways that objects can be imbued with power. Though there was no overt spiritual or mystical purpose to the pieces I selected, when displayed alongside major tribal works, like a sculpture from the Dayak people or a Songye power figure, they had tremendous resonance. I’ve often thought of connections to Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness in terms of the emotionally charged tension tribal art creates in contemporary contexts.

Though not religious in any traditional sense, there is significant financial and metaphysical value placed on contemporary art, and its ownership grants cultural power via social status and prestige. The various motivations that drive collectors to possess art are seldom explored, though the entire art market relies upon a system of beliefs that highlights issues of relevancy, timeliness, and critical consensus. African and Oceanic works were created in mystical or religious contexts, though in most instances their exact functions remain unknown. Though this is tragic from a human perspective, it has freed these objects to be viewed and appreciated from a more aesthetic perspective. Early collectors historically stripped them of their native contexts, and often of their original patina, instead focusing on their aesthetic “otherness.” Today, these objects exist as much more than curios or spoils or colonialism. They cannot be reduced to rare and exotic souvenirs of cultures forever disrupted by the advance of Western civilization. They have influenced our own art history and, in my mind, remain some of the most compelling works ever created.

Within today’s context, rife with questions of provenance and demands of cultural repatriation, it is interesting to think about what might have happened to many of these objects had they remained with their cultures of origin. Many would have been lost or destroyed but, thanks to collectors, these objects continue to come alive to new generations of students and scholars. Invested with pride, personal meaning, and careful attention, they are revivified in the hands of their owners in a manner different than when held in institutional collections.

Newly alerted to their power through research, connoisseurship, and institutional collaboration, the collecting community has focused attention on the lives of these objects, opening new paths of inquiry for future generations.

PRESS RELEASE EVENTS

EXHIBITION: Pigalle 1930, retour sur une exposition mythique From 11 to 16 September 2018 during the open hours of the fair at Espace Tribal, 22 rue Visconti

T

ribal art lovers nowadays think of the 1930 exhibition of African and Oceanic art at Galerie du Théâtre Pigalle in Paris as a milestone event. At the same time, although it is often cited as a reference, it is surprising to realize how few people really know how it came about or even what artworks were included in it.

At the time the exhibition opened in 1930, the work that modernist artists and those in their circle had been engaged in for two decades had begun to open minds and the consciousness of the public to the aesthetic dimensions of so-called art nègre. The event at Galerie du Théâtre Pigalle cemented the success of this new approach with a broad audience and it would remain the most important exhibition of its kind to have been held in France during the first half of the twentieth century.

The personalities involved in producing this exhibition, both as organizers and as lenders, included Charles Ratton, Pierre Loeb, Tristan Tzara, Pablo Picasso, and André Derain, to name just a few. Their notoriety undoubtedly contributed to the event’s success. All of these men were committed to championing art nègre, and each used his influence to promote it in one way or another.

While these figures were important, the reputation the exhibition developed over time was ultimately due to the exceptional quality of the many artworks that it featured. Many of them today are considered to be major masterpieces. The exhibition sheds light on the aesthetic choices of the period and on the genesis of taste that, even a century later, continues to structure Western perceptions of the arts of Africa and Oceania.

In conjunction with the publication of a retrospective book on the history and content of this legendary exhibition, Charles Wesley-Hourdé and Nicolas Rolland, working in partnership with Tribal Art magazine, are organizing a display to be held during the 2018 Parcours des Mondes at Espace Tribal of a selection of some thirty original works from private French collections that were included in it. These will be accompanied by documentation from the period—catalogs, magazines, invitation cards, press clippings, etc.—that sheds additional light on this historic event.

B

elow is information about the organizers of the retrospective exhibition that will be presented at Espace Tribal during the 2018 Parcours des Mondes. At the bottom are representative images of the thirty objects that will be featured from the 1930 Galerie du Théâtre Pigalle exhibition: Charles Wesley-Hourdé worked for the African and Oceanic art department at Christie’s for five years and is currently a consultant, dealer, and independent scholar specializing in the arts of Africa and Oceania. His passion for the history of the genesis of the market has led him to author several articles on the subject, notably one on Japanese woodworker and base-maker Kichizo Inagaki that appeared in Tribal Art magazine in 2012, as well as six exhibition catalogs, including Passeurs de Rêves (2016) on the histories of non-European artworks and L’Emprise des Masques (2017) about the affinities that certain tribal sculptures have with the works of Pablo Picasso.

Nicolas Rolland holds a graduate degree in art history and is an expert (member of the Compagnie Nationale des Experts), dealer, and independent scholar specializing in the arts of Africa and Oceania. He worked for several years on the history of museum and missionary ethnographic collections, and he supervised the publication of Afrique, à l’ombre des dieux (Somogy, PILAT prize 2017), a reference work devoted to the collection of the Congregation of the Holy Ghost, for which he also serves as curator and conservator.

Tribal Art magazine is a unique international magazine devoted to the arts of Africa, Oceania, Asia, and the Americas, which is published quarterly in both English and French.

Un masque Dan et plus...

By Galerie Bernard Dulon, Paris, exhibiting at 10 rue Jacques Callot.

For the 17th Parcours des Mondes, African art expert and specialist Benard Dulon has chosen to devote his gallery to the presentation of a museum quality exhibition of the masks of the Dan people. The show brings together a selection of remarkable pieces, including the very famous mask formerly in the Rasmussen collection, and then in another private collection since 1979. Considered the most perfect expression of the Dan aesthetic, this 19th century masterpiece represents the incarnation of the Dan ideal of beauty. Called the “Black Diamond”, it remains to this day the ultimate reference for this type of object.

For the occasion, historian Bernard Goy, member of the Société des Africanistes, has penned an aesthetic essay devoted to the masks of the Dan area which Galerie Dulon has published.

Africubisme. Regards croisés entre art africain et cubisme

By Galerie Flak, Paris, exhibiting at 8 rue des Beaux-Arts.

Why sculpt like that and not some other way... Even so, they weren’t Cubists! Because Cubism didn’t exist.” said Pablo Picasso standing in front of African sculptures at the Musée du Trocadéro in 1907. The shock of the discovery of the African arts by the pioneers of 20th century art – Derain, Vlaminck, Matisse and Picasso to name a few – is still intact today. The AfriCubism exhibition organized by the Galerie Flak proposes a juxtaposition of African masks and sculptures with Cubist drawings and paintings

by Pablo Picasso, Fernand Léger, Albert Gleizes and Jacques Lipchitz. Gathered with passion over the course of twenty years or so, our selection of ancient art from the Senufo, Dan, Dogon, Tosgho, Songye, Lwalwa or Baga peoples illustrates fascinating convergences with the works of the great names of Cubism. Evolution in our way of seeing things, shifts in perspectives, changes in form: on the occasion of this exceptional exhibition, we invite you to a celebration of universal human genius. A printed publication “AfriCubism” in French & English will be available at Parcours.

PRESS RELEASE PRACTICAL INFORMATION

WHERE The Beaux-Arts neighborhood of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, 6th arrondissement, Paris.

Participating galleries are located on the following streets: rues des Beaux-Arts, Bonaparte, de Seine, JacquesCallot, Mazarine, Guénégaud, Saint Benoît, Visconti, and de l’Échaudé.

WHEN Tuesday, September 11, through Sunday, September 16 Opening: September 11, 3 pm–9 pm Wednesday through Saturday, 11 am–7 pm; Sunday, 11 am–6 pm

WHAT Thanks to the number, quality, and variety of its participants, Parcours des Mondes is the world’s leading international tribal art fair. Every e year since 2002, it has brought together an ever-increasing number of galleries specializing in the arts of Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas.

Building on the firm foundation of its ongoing success, this year’s show will include Asian art, a field that until now has had relatively little representation in Paris. Parcours des Mondes is now the most important international event for both tribal and Asian art.

This year, approximately half of the participants will come from abroad.

They include galleries from Belgium, the United States, Great Britain, Australia, Canada, Spain, Italy, Morocco, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and other parts of France. They will join their Parisian counterparts who maintain a permanent presence in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés Quartier neighborhood. This exceptional gathering of experts and artworks takes SAINT-GERMAIN-DES-PRÉS place at multiple venues, the participants being located in galleries each a short stroll at most from the others. Visitors to the show experience an unparalleled selection of art offerings as they walk the charming and picturesque streets of this historic neighborhood, which has become the world capital for tribal art.

Each gallery offers an individualized and personal presentation of often-unknown masterpieces from Africa, Oceania, the Americas, or Asia. These range from easily affordable ethnographic works to rare and coveted artworks much sought after by important collectors. The fair’s success hinges on a combination of complementary elements: the healthy state of the tribal art market, an ever-increasing interest in the arts it represents, the efforts made by dealers to produce high-quality thematic exhibitions, and those made by the fair’s management to ensure that the highest standards are upheld at the event. Parcours des Mondes is rigorous in its selection of the dealers it hosts and of the material they display.

THE 6 TH ARRONDISSEMENT EXPRESSES ITS RECOGNITION AND SUPPORT

Now in its seventeenth year, the Parcours des Mondes has matured and has established itself without question as the premier international event in the tribal art world. This designation is justified by the number, the quality, and the diversity of its participating galleries.

Dealers, collectors, aficionados, and the merely curious alike will all once again flock to the heart of the 6th arrondissement—the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood, the very name of which has become synonymous with the excellence in artistic and literary creation for which it has always been—and continues to be—so well known.

From rue Guénégaud to rue Mazarine, by way of rue des Beaux-Arts, visitors will have the opportunity to experience artworks from Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, in addition to many examples from Asia, as the Parcours continues to expand its horizons to include art from non-European cultures around the world.

We once again take great pleasure in congratulating Pierre Moos and the organizers of this show on their remarkable work, their rigor in their selection of participants, their vigilance with regard to the quality of the artworks presented, and their creative programming, which this year includes an homage to the now legendary 1930 exhibition at the Galerie du Théâtre Pigalle that was organized by Tristan Tzara, Charles Ratton, and Pierre Loeb, all pioneers of their epoch.
