PARIS TRIBAL
PARIS—The fi fth annual Paris Tribal show will be
held from April 11–14, 2018. The fruit of a collaborative
effort by a number of dealers in the Saint-Germain
des-Prés area, this show will again energize the
neighborhood that is well known as the capital of the
tribal art market. Thematic exhibitions and selections
of artworks will be presented by some thirty participants.
As in years past, nearly half of the resident galleries
will host dealers from other parts of France or
from abroad, providing an international dimension to
the event that enhances its appeal. The “guest list”
is made up of names well known to all collectors of
tribal art and includes David Serra of Barcelona, Bruce
Frank of New York, Joaquin Pecci of Brussels, Michel
Thieme of Amsterdam, Adrian Schlag of Brussels,
Guilhem Montagut of Barcelona, Laurent Dodier of Le
Val-Saint-Père, and Bruno Frey of Arnay-le-Duc.
