YOU DON’T KNOW BUT SHOULD.
The Appeal and the Originality of Contemporary African Art
“What is interesting today, and is seen as a global event, is the rise of the appeal of the Contemporary African Art. The excitement for African, especially the young African Contemporary artists, is seen in the fact that the prices of such artworks are relatively low and this is yet an incentive for young collectors to focus on this rather young segment of the globalized art field.
If we take a deeper look into Contemporary African art, we are confronted with the fact that originality, passion and the feeling that the art is produced by the want rather than the must, seem to be the driving forces behind the works produced and quite possibly the reasons for the appeal.
Young collectors with an interest in the political and social art, and in the art produced in the part of the world that is quickly changing shape, need to look no further.”
