Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. West African combs: a hundred sublime pieces from an exceptional private collection. A tribute to sculpture and personal adornment. This book is put together like a jewel and contains a carefully chosen selection of around 100 West African combs from one of the world's largest and finest pr…ivate collections of sub-Saharan African art. Featuring a hitherto unseen assortment of pieces assembled over a period of more than 60 years, the book also includes an authoritative analysis by Alain-Michel Boyer, who approached this rarely addressed theme in what was his final work, begun almost ten years ago. As well as offering us valuable insights into the cultures that produced these miniature sculptures (Ivory Coast, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Nigeria), he explores the way the form itself is approached. These creations transform what is in principle a plain accessory and in the effort to attain pure beauty, they display an aesthetic awareness that raises the adornment of the body to the level of fine art. AUTHOR: Alain-Michel Boyer (1949 - 2025) was an anthropologist and art historian. He held an argregation in literature and a BA from the Institut d'etudes politiques, as well as two doctorates (Sorbonne, Paris). Following his Fulbright Scholarship (United States), he taught at several American universities. After serving as a member of the Conseil national des universites in Paris, Alain-Michel Boyer then became emeritus professor of African Art. He lived for several years in Ivory Coast, particularly among the Baule and Yaure peoples. He also carried out several research missions in various regions of Africa. He carried out definitive research, particularly in the field of the arts of Ivory Coast. He authored around twenty books, including Comment regarder les arts d'Afrique (Hazan, 2017), Baule (5 Continents Editions, 2008) and Le corps africain (Hazan, 2006). He published the only books on the masks and figurines of two peoples hitherto neglected by art historians: Les Yohoure de Cote d'Ivoire. Faire danser les dieux (Ides et calendes, 2017) and Les figurines kulango. Les esprits mysterieux de la brousse de la collection Pierluigi Peroni (5 Continents Editions, 2017). He was an Officier de l'ordre national du Merite de la Republique de Cote d'Ivoire. SELLING POINTS: . An exceptional selection of West African combs from one of the most important private collections of sub-Saharan African art . A hitherto unseen collection of carefully selected works assembled over more than sixty years . The African comb, a theme rarely addressed in the history of art . The book is accompanied by an authoritative analysis by Alain-Michel Boyer . It offers valuable insights into the cultures that produced these combs (Ivory Coast, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Nigeria) .

Peignes d?Afrique de l?Ouest Collection Mina & Samir Borro Sous la direction de Najwa Borro, Sarah Boukamel, Faouzi Borro et Valentine Plisnier, avec un essai d?Alain-Michel Boyer Cet ouvrage pensé comme un bijou présente une sélection d?une centaine de peignes de l?Afrique de l?Ouest provenant de l?une des plus importantes et d…es plus belles collections privées d?arts de l?Afrique subsaharienne. Cet ensemble inédit, constitué d?une sélection d??uvres rigoureusement choisies et rassemblées durant plus de soixante années, s?accompagne d?un texte déterminant d?Alain-MichelBoyer, qui signe ici son dernier ouvrage initié il y a près de dix ans sur une thématique rarement abordée. En plus de nous offrir des développements précieux sur les cultures dont ces sculptures miniatures sont issues (Côte d?Ivoire, Ghana, Nigéria), il interroge l?expérience même de la forme : métamorphosant l?accessoire, ces créations exaltant la beauté pure sont traitées avec un souci esthétique élevant la parure corporelle au rang des beaux-arts. Alain-MichelBoyer(9mai1949?27mars2025),anthropologue et historien d?art,est agrégé de lettreset diplômé de l?Institut d?études politiques. Titulaire de deux doctorats (Sorbonne, Paris) et d?une bourse d?études Fulbright (États-Unis), il a enseigné dans plusieurs universités américaines. Ancien membre du Conseil national des universités à Paris, il a ensuite été professeur émérite d?art africain.Il a publié en 1974 l?un des premiers livres consacrés à MichelLeiris.Alain-MichelBoyer a vécu plusieurs années en Côte d?Ivoire, en particulier chez les Baoulé et les Yohouré. Il a également effectué plusieurs missions de recherche au Mali, au Liberia, au Ghana, en Tanzanie, au Malawi, dans la vallée de l?Omo, au sud de l?Éthiopie, au Zimbabwe, en Namibie, au Lesotho et en Afrique du Sud. Il a accompli des recherches décisives en particulier dans le domaine des arts de Côte d?Ivoire. On lui doit une vingtaine de livres, dontComment regarder les arts d?Afrique(Hazan, 2017),Baule(5Continents Éditions, 2008),LeCorps africain(Hazan, 2006). Il a publié les seuls ouvrages consacrés aux masques et statuettes de deux peuples jusque-là négligés par les historiens d?art.LesYohouré de Côte d?Ivoire. Faire danser les dieux(Ides et calendes, 2017) etLes Figurines kulango. Lesesprits mystérieux de la brousse de la collection Pierluigi Peroni(5Continents Editions, 2017). Il est officier de l?ordre national du Mérite de la République de Côte d?Ivoire. Najwa Borroest chercheuse indépendante et curatrice, spécialisée en arts de l?Afrique. Elle a collaboré avec de nombreuses galeries, des maisons de ventes et des musées. Assistante scientifique auprès d?YvesLeFur, directeur du département du patrimoine et des collections du musée du quai Branly?Jacques Chirac, elle a notamment participé sous sa direction à la conception de l?expositionLes Forêts natales. Arts d?Afrique équatoriale atlantique(2017). Sarah Boukamelest diplômée de l?École du Louvre, historienne de l?art et enseignante, spécialisée en histoire des arts d?Afrique. Elle a notamment contribué de manière significative à la documentation des ?uvres de la donation MarcLadreit de Lacharrière au musée du quai Branly?JacquesChirac. Valentine Plisnierest chercheuse en histoire de l?art, commissaire d?exposition et auteure. On lui doit plusieurs ouvrages dontLePrimitivisme dans la photographie. L?impact des arts extra-européens sur la modernité photographique de 1918 à nos jours(Trocadéro, 2012),L?Art lega. Grandeur et humilitéen collaboration avec MichelBoulanger (GalerieValois, 2016),Arts d?Afrique. Portraits d?une collection(5Continents Editions, 2016) en collaboration avec PatrickCaput etPierreDartevelle et les arts premiers: mémoire et continuité(5Continents Éditions, 2020).
