The Marc and Denyse Ginzberg Collection, African Forms
Some nice pieces in african arms in this sale at Sotheby's.
Very expensive of course... http://browse.sothebys.com/?c_date=S...nb=1&dp=Tribal Luc |

Interesting, slightly too rarefied atmosphere for me. Not that I cannot cut the mustard with them.

Most of these weapons are published in the book AFRICAN FORMS.
It's a reference book for ethnographic african objects, a very nice and good book, cheaper than the pieces on sale at Sotheby's... |

I think it would be great if the collectors of african weapons and art from our forum would pool there collections and publish a book. We have so many knowlegable people on the forum. We can then donate the profits from the book to African charities in the Congo and Dafur regions.
