Rare commemorative sculpture "Elephant" of a dignitary. Dakakari, Nigeria. H 83cm made of beige terracotta with columnar legs standing on a sphere, the ears designed as a large disc forming a three-quarter circle; the tail is indicated as a small cone. The Dakakari are a small ethnic group in the hills of the Zuru Federation in the Northwestern State of Nigeria. Their main occupation was agriculture and military service. In art history, the Dakakari have become famous for their terracotta tomb sculptures, which are placed on the graves of important personalities such as village chiefs, war heroes, great hunters, heads of the secret men's society Oknuh, the head of the blacksmiths, etc. Ordinary citizens only receive simple household utensils as a memento on their burial mound. There are six different categories of terracotta, including animals, people and equestrian figures - the elephants, however, are the most expensive and the largest; the Dakakari potters' great capacity for abstraction is particularly expressive here. An almost identical elephant can be found in the Museum Fünf Kontinente in Munich and is illustrated in M. Kecskési, African Masterpieces from Munich: The Staatliches Museum für Völkerkunde (1997) no. 169; K.-F. Schaedler, Afrikanische Kunst von der Frühzeit bis heute (1997), p. 261, no. 507; ders., Encyclopedia of African Art and Culture (2009) p. 166. intact. Provenance: Acquired in the 1970s in Cotonou, Benin.

He settled in Paris in 1930, where he created what is considered today as the first Op Art work, "Zebra" (1937). In Paris he worked as a graphic designer for advertising agencies. During this period his artistic style varied from figurative expression, towards a type of constructive and geometric abstract art, interested in the representation of perspective without vanishing points.between 1936 and 1948 he participated regularly in the Salon des Surindependents and in the Salon des Nouvelles Réalités. From 1948 he exhibited regularly at the Denise René Gallery. In the fifties his work approached the use of new materials and supports such as aluminum or glass. In the same way he began to make works of integration with space, such as Homage to Malevich. In the sixties he participated in numerous group exhibitions, such as The Responsive Eye at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, as well as solo exhibitions in Europe and America. Among the numerous awards he received throughout his life, the Guggenheim Prize (1964), the Art Critics of Brussels and the gold medal at the Milan Triennial stand out. In 1970 he was also named Knight of the Order of the Legion of Honor. He is represented in the museums dedicated to him in Aix-en-Provence, Pécs and Budapest, but also in the most important centers of contemporary art in the world, such as the Tate Gallery in London, the MoMA in New York, the Guggenheim in Venice or the Reina Sofia in Madrid.
