Authenticated by Professor Kwaku Ofori-Ansa
World Renowned African Art History Professor
Foremost Expert on Nomoli
“All pieces shown here are believed to be authentic examples of soapstone sculptures and hooded masks from that region. The civil war that occurred in the region in the 1970s and the current anti indigenous traditions by some of the hard-line religious groups resulted in the destruction of traditional art and therefore rendered these types sculptures hard to find. Their acquisition therefore, is deemed a timely intervention to preserve a priceless artistic treasure for posterity.”
Professor Ofori-Ansa on The Shirley and Bennett J. Vonderheide Collection (Reprinted from Museum exhibition poster)
