Seller's Story
for almost thirty years and at the rate of two annual trips I have been able to acquire a solid network of merchants and friends throughout West Africa: ivory coast, burkina faso benin and mali where I live in part which allows me to be aware of the good pieces of the Dogon country bamana and senoufo
always passionate about African art, I am very demanding on the quality of objects found on the spot;
in France as a gallery owner I am often asked for the successions of beautiful collections of former expatriates from these former French colonies
