Celebrities from across the nation have once again embraced the project, creating colorful, unique pieces of art. The 2002 collection of 500 hand-painted masks run the gamut from self-portraits and patriotic tributes to a three hundred pound, five-foot sculpture. Each mask is filled with a story, a memory or a vision. This year's exhibit has several repeat performers including Glenn Close, Elizabeth Dole and Donald Trump, and many others who are making their debut. Individually created and signed, these faces stand out in the crowd: Bill Cosby Sarah Jessica Parker Whoopi Goldberg John Travolta Muhammad Ali Janeane Garofalo Barbra Streisand David Hyde Pierce KISS

We acquired the 70 plus African masks during several years of living in Western and Central African countries prior to 1986. We wish to market the entire collection, or, alternatively, ethnic groupings that may be of interest to individual collectors. Most of the masks were made in Zaire (Kuba, Pende, Salampasu, Songye, Tshokwe, Yaka, Suku, etc.). Eight of the masks are rare Kom pieces from Cameroon. Masks from Mali, Liberia, Angola and Ivory Coast are also included. The masks which we consider art objects were created for specific utilitarian purposes, as tools to facilitate cultural functions -initiation into adulthood and secret societies, ancestor worship, births, deaths, law enforcement, fertility and agricultural rites, healing and exorcism, etc. Sadly, most African countries which do have museums are without resources to preserve them. The effects of termites, fungi and other pathogens can be seen on many masks.

Haida,Tlingit,Northern Kwakiutl,West Coast,Southern Kwakiutl,Coast Salish,Tsimshian. We would like to invite you to take a moment to become familiar with the history and culture that has influenced the artwork of the Northwest Coast Native Communities. The Native Communities in this territory have developed a way of life that is based on the rugged seas, rivers, streams, mountains and the immense forests. This narrow coastline was abundant with Salmon and Cedar that was the foundation of the economy and source of revenue in this region. At this time Canadian Indian Art offers an exclusive collection of West Coast Native Artwork

by Claude Rilly PARIS - If sculpture is the projection of one's thoughts into three dimensions, then the African continent has produced many of the greatest sculptors of all time, even though no single name has ever been passed down. With the permanent exhibition, which occupies three floors of the (too) little known Mus?e Dapper in Paris, we are shown not only the most riveting examples of African art, but also the most disconcerting. Disconcerting because our western minds, despite a century of contemporary art which has been concerned with decompartmentalizing and reconstructing esthetic ideals, always thirst for classifications and categories which are not possible in this context.

Masks play an important role in Mexico?s rich heritage of dances and fiestas. Masks are worn on such ceremonial occasions as Carnival, Holy Week and Days of the Dead. The majority of our masks are handcarved from copal or zompantle wood in the state of Guerrerro. Another wonderful item are the worn "trajes" or canvas dance suits painted on both sides with several small masks stitched to their front.

Masks were common throughout pre-Hispanic cultures but of particular importance to the Mexican and Aztec civilizations. They were used during religious ceremonies and today continue to be used during festivals. With a mask over their face the wearer could become someone or something else. The selection of masks Tumi has are made from clay in workshops in Mexico, following traditional pre-Hispanic techniques. They are predominantly replicas of Aztec pieces.
