The world’s largest fair dedicated to primitive art is marking its 25th anniversary, with events running through September 13. Known as "Parcours des mondes," the event is based in Paris and gathers approximately fifty of the largest dealers in the field of ethnographic and tribal art. This fair has become a key event for collectors, scholars, and enthusiasts interested in traditional art from Africa, the Americas, and Oceania. For many years, African sculptures were highly admired for their aesthetic and cultural significance, but the identities of the sculptors remained unknown. This anonymity was partly due to the lack of written records and the oral nature of many African artistic traditions. However, recent efforts by experts have begun to change this narrative, shedding light on the individual artisans behind these masterpieces. Bernard de Grunne, a Belgian dealer and African art specialist, has played a pivotal role in this shift. Through his exhibition titled "Signatures sculptées" (Sculpted Signatures), he has demonstrated that it is possible to identify the names of previously anonymous African sculptors. By analyzing stylistic elements, materials, and regional influences, de Grunne has attributed specific works to individual artists, offering a more personal and historical perspective on the art. The "Signatures sculptées" exhibition features around sixty works, each carefully selected to showcase the unique styles and techniques of the sculptors. This effort not only honors the individual artists but also enriches the understanding of African art as a deeply personal and historically rich field. As the fair continues through its final days, it highlights the evolving appreciation for the craftsmanship and cultural narratives behind these traditional artworks.
