African Art

Since 1975, Barrister's Gallery has sold authentic primitive and tribal art to decorators, collectors and institutions. Barrister's is one of the few galleries in the world that has the depth of inventory to offer the traditional ritual arts of tribal Africa, India, Nepal and the Pacific Basin, as well as the primitive folk
crafts of Indonesia and Latin America.

 

"The work Barrister's displays carries beyond scholarly documentation or explanations - it speaks directly to the primitive mind that prowls beneath each and every one of our civilized surfaces. As another reviewer mused, ''This work has a depth and a vital spirit all of its own...every single piece of art in Barristers' is alive. You don't 'own' this kind of art, you (politely) invite it to come and live with you. "

It is impossible for us to show any significant part of our ethnographic art collection. Our resources are private collections here and abroad. Several African friends of long standing -- Doctors, Lawyers and African art specialists -- in Ghana, Burkina, Nigeria and Zaire -- have grown up collecting with us and often provide us with excellent ritual objects from legitimate sources in Africa.
