Drs Daniel and Marian Malcolm spent five decades creating one of the most significant private collections of African Art ever assembled. In this short video, Dr Marian Malcolm describes their collecting approach.
Hi, the greatest experts are those who carved it and know the cultural context of the artefacts . You should invite them ( African Artists ) to speak . Greetings Conny
The total disrespect and entitlement in this video is beyond ignorance and arrogance. The fact that the woman said that there'll never be another collection such as the one that is owned by the other woman is crazy! Africa, the continent in its entirety has been exploited for centuries. Africans around the world have been taught that their own culture is ungodly, wicked, ugly and deem uncivilized and savage. Yet the artwork among other things, have been stolen for profit. including the very artist/artisans of the beautiful well crafted pieces. It's beyond sickening to watch them take joy in the passion of the artwork they know nothing about, other than they own something of value from the very people that are undervalued. CRAZY!!!!!!!
