Paris Tribal
PARIS —Paris Tribal is an annual event that was created
by local Parisian dealers specializing in the arts of Africa,
Oceania, Asia, and the Americas, which has now
become eagerly awaited by an ever-larger audience.
Now in its sixth year, it will take place in the Beaux-
Arts and Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood from
April 10–14, 2019. The key to its success has been
the variety and quality of the material it presents,
as well as the thematic exhibitions it often features.
Among the latter this year will be Galerie Flak’s show
on Cook’s voyages, Jo de Buck’s exhibition of Kuba
textiles at Galerie Alain Bovis, and a show on modernist
painter and tribal art collector Eugène de Kermadec
presented by Laurent Dodier at Galerie Meyer. Select
galleries invited from other parts of France and abroad
to participate also enhance the show.
The twenty-fi ve participating dealers have also announced
that they will be showing selections of works
that include many objects at modest prices in an effort
to encourage new buyers and collectors—another innovation
attesting to Paris Tribal’s dynamic approach.
We wish the show much continued success!
Bourgogne Tribal Show
BESANCEUIL—When the good weather fi nally arrives,
it’s time to get outdoors again, and the desire to
get out of the city for a while can become an obsession.
The organizers of the Bourgogne Tribal Show
clearly understand this, and for three years now
they’ve made the dream come true for a remarkable
number of tribal art afi cionados by producing
an important show in an ultra-relaxed,
bucolic setting punctuated by mooing cows. The
event has taken root in its country setting and it
enters its fourth year May 30–June 2, 2019, once
again on Bruno Mory’s property near Cluny. More
than twenty dealers have already confi rmed that they
will participate, and a new temporary exhibition, this
time organized by artist Coco Fronsac, will again be
presented at the Abbaye de Cluny. The heart of the
fair continues to beat to the rhythms of tribal art, but
diversifi cation is also in the offi ng, since the event
this year will include, among others, Galerie Sismann,
which specializes in medieval art; Laura Bosc de Ganay
and Jean-David Cahn for archaeological art; Max
Rutherston for Japanese art; and Alexis Renard for
Indian art.
