Summary
"The NOMA collection was from the start formed for the beauty of its objects, without as much concern for representing particular peopes or areas. In our selection of objects and in the organizing principle of the show, we have tried to use a similar approach, choosing objects for their aesthetic quality rather than because they are representative of a particular region or people. Where the NOMA collection is very strong, as in the case of the Yoruba, we have chosen many objects, without concern for the fact that other African peoples are not represented at all. Our concern has been to emphasize the great formal beauty of African art." --p. 6, Preface
