SUMMARY

AFRICAN METALWORK & IVORY is a survey of over 100 African cultural objects that are a reflection of a traditional lifestyle that is rapidly disappearing in the sub-Saharan area. These objects were chosen for study based on their cultural significance, uniqueness or because they are seldom documented in the literature. Full of life & energy as a result of the talents of the chief photographer Oggy Borrisov, the objects take on a new meaning for Western art & anthropology lovers with the explanatory text provided by the author. As well as information concerning the cultural content of the objects, Lerer deals with the underlying world views & philosophies of the skilled people who fashioned these imposing forms & the elevated positions of the blacksmiths & carvers in their cultures. A brief discussion of fakes, forgeries, airplane art & other matters of interest is included. To order: Images of Culture, P.O. 9625, Santa Ana, CA 92658. FAX: 714-721-8413.Lerer, Susan is the author of 'African Metalwork and Ivory' with ISBN 9780963585707 and ISBN 0963585703.
