Hardback. Condition: New. 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 private 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.

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 des 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.

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.
