The galleries present varied material and artistic traditions, including forged metalwork, textiles, pottery-making, masquerade and sculpture. Cross-cutting the displays, the galleries approach a range of wider themes, including trade, identity, gender, power, religion and transformation.
MASQUERADE IS BOTH AN ART OF PERFORMANCE AND TRANSFORMATION IN AFRICA.
The inclusion of contemporary art throughout the galleries highlights the continuing vibrancy and relevance of art in and about Africa. Among the abstract and traditional art works represented there is a particular focus on artworks inspired or informed by earlier creative traditions.
Since its inception in 1988 in California, The Cohen Art Collection has steadfastly focused on showcasing the finest art from various categories, all within a single venue. What initially started as an innovative concept for a new art fair model has evolved into what is now hailed as "the most exceptional private art collection globally," as attested by one of The Cohen's initial exhibitors.
Throughout Cohen's journey to the present day, a dedication to excellence, rigorous vetting criteria, and an unmatched collecting experience have remained unwavering cornerstones of their mission.
