Parcours des mondes Paris—From September 10–15, 2013, the Saint-Germain des-Prés neighborhood in Paris will once again be the venue for the Parcours des Mondes tribal art show, the most important annual event of its kind, which is now in its twelfth year. New participants will be exhibiting and there will be a strong international presence, especially of dealers from the United States. Noted Native American art dealer Donald Ellis will be showing for the first time, and American Indian art will also be represented by Galerie Flak, which will be featuring a superb group of Hopi and Zuni Kachina dolls. A number of galleries will present thematic exhibitions on Oceania, and Galerie Alain Bovis will focus on the Philippine and Indonesian archipelagos with a selection of Ifugao and Kankanai (Luzon) objects, as well as of fine Batak (Sumatra), Dayak (Borneo), and Toraja (Sulawesi) material. Laurent Dodier, who recently obtained a prestigious French academic degree in art expertise and law, will be showing about forty Melanesian and Polynesian works. New Zealander and first-time Parcours participant Michael Evans will exhibit a group of original nineteenth-century photographs of indigenous peoples of Oceania, and Bruce Frank will focus on figural Sepik River-region amulets. As usual, Africa will be well represented as well, and highlights will include David Serra’s Kulango exhibition, Cameroon masterpieces at Bernard Dulon’s gallery, and Galerie SL’s show of Congo Basin headdresses and headgear. Renaud Vanuxem will feature a more eclectic presentation of both Oceanic and African fetishes and reliquaries. It is impossible to enumerate all the events and presentations here, but aficionados will know not to forget to see Jacques Germain, Didier Claes, Olivier Castellano, and the many others whose selections will be of outstanding quality. Lastly, for the first time this year, Parcours will include contemporary creations: Fine Art Studio of Belgium and Galerie Vallois will feature the work of five Benin artists, all of whom incorporate older ritual objects in their sculptures. Just one word of advice: Be at Saint-Germain-des- Prés at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, September 10th!
