The New York International Tribal & Textile Arts Show
There had always been a very strong market for antique tribal, ethnographic art and objects in Europe but interest in the United States at the time we pioneered our first show in Los Angeles in 1985 was limited to only a few dealers and collectors. The show was an immediate success and two years later in 1987 it premiered in San Francisco to an enthusiastic market. Then in 1995 the first New York International Tribal show opened its doors to a highly motivated group of investors and collectors. With the momentum growing in the United States this show quickly became known as one of the worlds most prestigious events. Sales of antique fine arts and ancient artifacts of native peoples from Africa, The Americas, Oceania, Asia and Australia boomed.
At this show, seventy of tribal art's most respected and prestigious galleries/dealers from Europe, Africa, the Far East as well as the United States elegantly present the highest art forms of the indigenous peoples. In quality and significance it has and continues to rival any Tribal Art show in America. Many of the same dealers who participate in the San Francisco Tribal show also exhibit in this New York show and each offer similar material typically found in SE Asia, Oceanic Islands, the Middle East, Central and South America, African countries including Morocco, Nigeria and Zaire; New Guinea, Mexico, Sumatra, Tibet, Uzbekistan, Cook and Solomon Islands, Polynesia, Philippines, Thailand, Borneo, India, Indonesia, Peru and the United States. This show has a strong emphasis on textiles and among just some of the indigenous, folk and religious antiques covering a period of at least 1000 years you will find artifacts such as a statues and sculptures; finials; kilims, bark cloth and batik; Caucasian, early American hooked rugs and quilts as well as a variety of tribal carpets; weavings; embroidery; tunics; Berber shawls and a variety of ikat designs; ceremonial artifacts including sceptres, cloths, a wide variety of masks, funerary objects, bowls, dance shirts, dolls, dancing blankets, jewelry, drinking vessels, tools and rare collections of out of print as well as in-print art books.
The Los Angeles Asian & Tribal Arts Show
Originating in 1991 this show was the pioneer, the very first of its kind where internationally renowned dealers/galleries had the opportunity to travel from distant corners of the earth, converge in the west and exhibit their rare, ancient and often museum quality collections. Their exotic displays transported patrons back in time for a mystical and mesmerizing journey through the powerful yet delicate beauty of more than 2000 years of Asian Art history. Over the years, we watched the surge of interest that each yearly exhibit excited and found ourselves equally inspired. In order to fulfill the market demand we expanded the exhibition of this significant period of art history by creating shows like this in New York City and then San Francisco.
In 2004 the show was expanded to include exquisite antique Tribal Art from Africa, New Guinea and The Americas.
Intriguing were the ceremonial objects and robes, snuff bottles, kimonos, woodblock prints, antique netsuke and erotic prints (Edo Period) from Japan, gilt bronze statuary from ancient Tibet, bronzes from Nepal, ceramics from Korea, cherished porcelain, silk gauze surcoats, dragon robes worn by a bride, a groom or perhaps an imperial prince, lotus (torture) shoes and rank badges from China, fertility figures & wood sculptures from the Oceanic Islands and Indonesia, tribal weavings, minority costumes as well as jewelry from Central and SouthEast Asia plus an abundant variety of even more compelling artifacts which then drew and now continue to draw great numbers to the exhibit.
