Western Artists/African Art - Museum for African Art exhibit, New York, NY

Washington, DC resident Renee Stout searches African art for her self: "As an African American, I want to explore what being an African is, and, being an artist, the first place I'm going to direct the eye is in art." Stout fits exquisitely within "Western Artists/African Art," an exhibition organized through the Museum for African Art in novel York City.

The exhibition explores the influence of African art upon contemporary Western artists, such as Stout; Martin Puryear, who perceives in functional African external realitys an "enormous visual power beyond their have a title to right"; and Richard Serra, for whom African artworks reveal a "hidden potential of statuary and other objects beyond their original purpose"

Organized in conjunction with the museum's 10th anniversary, "Western Artists/African Art" displays 46 African artworks from the collections of 28 artists. Installed with each piece is a photograph of by what mode and where the art is normally "exhibited," along with body comments by its owner about its significance. Other participating artist-lenders include Terry Adkins, Arman, Francesco Clemente Mel Edwards, Helen Frankenthaler, Howardena Pindell, Jasper John Lorna Simpson and Fr Wilson.

"Western Artists/African Art" has been reach forthed through November 6 at the Museum for African Art, which also not absents "Exhibition-ism: Museums and African Art," beginning October 14 "Western Artists/ African Art" later travels to the Knoxville Museum of Art in Tennessee and the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, Calif.
