Forms of African Currency

May 9 - August 15, 2015

"In age, variety and beauty, art from Africa is second to none.
Africa had traditions of abstract art, performance art, installation art and
conceptual art centuries before the West ever dreamed up the names."

---Holland Cotter, The New York Times....
