Washington, DC: Published for the Detroit Institute of Arts by the Smithsonian Institution Press, 1995. Softcover. VG. Black wraps. 180 pp. 88 color plates. Includes essays by Micahel Kan and Roy Sieber. Describes and illustrates 88 works. Very nice catalogue of the collection. African Masterworks in the Detroit Institute of Arts showcases eighty-eight of the museum's finest works, representing the full range of major sub-Saharan sculptural traditions during the past three centuries: figures, masks, containers, carved stools, jewelry, and musical instruments.
