Yet surprisingly, this book is the first comprehensive scholarly treatment of the subject in half a century, and the first ever to illustrate and discuss tribal works collected by vanguard artists. In this visually stunning and intellectually provocative work, nineteen heavily illustrated essays by fifteen scholars confront complex aesthetic, art-historical, and sociological problems posed by this dramatic chapter in the history of modern art" (publisher). Extraordinary publication illustrated with impressive color and b/w reproductions of artifacts and artwork tracing influences and juxtaposing images. Slipcase, djs, bindings and interior in very good to near fine condition.
