For its fourth anniversary, this dynamic and increasingly popular show will be host to more than 130 galleries, all outstanding in their fi elds, featuring archaeological objects, mediaeval art, Asian art, tribal art, photography, and modern painting, all of a level of quality aimed at satisfying the most discriminating collectors. The names of the participants who will represent tribal art at this event are well known to this magazine’s readers. Among these are Entwistle Gallery (London and Paris) and Galerie Meyer Oceanic and Eskimo Art (Paris). The latter will be celebrating its thirty-fi fth year in business with an exhibition primarily devoted to Polynesian weapons and the arts of New Guinea. Donald Ellis (New York) will also be present with a show of Eskimo art, including, among other things, the Wolf Collection of prehistoric ivories from the Bering Strait, as well as a group of seventeen Yup’ik masks. Didier Claes (Brussels), showing at Frieze Masters for the fi rst time, will certainly stand out with a booth designed by René Bouchara, in which he will present a limited number of important works. These will include a Luba sculpture attributed to the Master of Warua, which is a new addition to the nine pieces already known by this artist. In an unusual departure for an African art dealer, he will also feature a beautiful yipwon from Papua New Guinea. Bernard Dulon (Paris) has also announced that he will participate in the fair with an exhibition devoted to the art of the masters of Southern Gabon, as has Bernard de Grunne, who will present a group of Dayak hampatong fi gures in “Collections,” a new section of the show in which curator Norman Rosenthal has selected eight participants whose displays offer a synthesis of art forms that have developed over the course of several millennia. A third event involving tribal art in London will be PAD London, which will be held at the same time as Frieze Masters. It will include displays by two major Parisian dealers, one by the young but already internationally recognized Lucas Ratton, and the other by inveterate dealer Alain de Monbrison. The latter will present a varied selection of high-quality work, including an ensemble of important pieces from Mali and the Côte d’Ivoire, as well as a beautiful New Ireland uli fi gure. AUTUMN IN LONDON London—The “tribal art season” is opening in London. From September 2–5, Tribal Art London will be held at the venerable Mall Galleries with nineteen international participants specialized in the non-European arts, including four new ones: Gallery Lemaire from Amsterdam and Handbury Tribal Art, Kenn MacKay, and Sabine & Anderson from the UK. Well-known Oceanic art dealer Wayne Heathcote will also return to the show this year.
