    This exhibition celebrates the complexity and variety of African art from across the continent. Thanks to the passionate interests of Director Thomas K. Seligman, Curators Ruth Franklin and Manuel Jordán, and many friends, the Cantor Arts Center now holds a rich and diverse collection of African art. An array of the most important works acquired over the past 10 years, including objects that adorn the human body, objects related to the home, and those created for ritual use, reveal media and subject matter well beyond the figurative wooden sculpture and masks that often typify displays of African art. Extensive examples of the more traditional forms are on view in the Center’s African gallery.
