Summary

African Faces, African Figures: The Arman Collection is an extraordinary collection of more than 180 visually provocative objects from diverse regions of Africa. These objects were gathered over the past 40 years by world renowned French painter and sculptor Armand P. Arman, an artist who came to prominence during the 1960s as part of the Paris-based Nouveau Realisme, or New Realism, movement and his American wife Corice Canton. Though previously shown only in parts at national and international locations, this exhibition gathers these rare and beautiful African objects together for the first time.
