Art of Africa:
Objects from the Collection of Warren Robbins
January 25, 2008 – May 4, 2008
This exhibition, the first major museum presentation of its kind in West Michigan, contained more than 80 objects representing approximately 30 cultures of sub-Saharan Africa. The sculpture – predominately masks and figures – were associated with ritual and religious ceremonies. Additionally, connections to the permanent collection at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park and the development of Modern Art were included.
