Arts & Cultures 1

This is a new annual magazine devoted to the arts of Antiquity, Africa, Oceania, Asia and the Americas, appealing both to connoisseurs and to a broader public interested in discovering the riches of our cultural heritage in all its splendor. Superior-quality images, detailed analysis from acknowledged experts, interviews with key figures and important historical information are all brought together with the highest production values. Yet it is not only about history and heritage: Arts & Cultures also features in-depth articles about contemporary practice in various parts of the world (for example, an illustrated article on An Ebrie Goldsmith of Cote d'Ivoire) as well as more personal articles such as Artifact and Artifice -- Remarks by a Lucid, if not Infallible, Collector, a humorous account of one collector's encounters with falsehood and fakery during a lifetime of collecting.This is a welcome publication on an area of art and culture that continues to attract many committed followers and a prodigiously healthy market.Laurence Mattet is the author of 'Arts & Cultures 1', published 2001 under ISBN 9782876602793 and ISBN 2876602792.
