African Art – objects of strong presence
The tribal art auction house Zemanek-Münster in Würzburg (est. 1978) specializes in fine tribal art.
We have been involved in African art since the beginning of the nineties and have become Europe's only auction house specializing exclusively in non-European art. Serious collectors of collectors of high-quality, non-European tribal art from Africa, Oceania, and Asia as well as for Pre-Columbian, masks, sculptures, ritual objects, ceramics and textiles should start and end their search here.
The fascination – especially for African masks and sculptures - arises from their extraordinary and remarkable expressiveness. While ethnologists appreciate the ritual function, the art collector is focused on their aesthetic moment. For both, the tribal art auction house holds auctions four times a year, featuring a variety of tribal art objects, especially works of the Luba, Baule, Lobi, Senufo, Songye, Fang and Punu tribes, as well as works from Oceania for the international market.
The company is now widely regarded for its professional qualifications, integrity, reliability and fairness in dealing with collectors and consignors in Europe and the United States over the past 20 years. These standards have qualified the auction house for admission to the Association of German Art Auctioneers (Bundesverband deutscher Kunstversteigerer or BDK) in April 2007. From that time on we guarantee that all items have been made by the ethnic groups, for use in the ethnic group.
For several years Zemanek-Münster has been represented with its associated Gallery for Non-European Art at international tribal art shows, like the Tribal & Textile Art Shows in San Francisco and New York.
