A Bamileke Smoking Pipe, "kan" Tobacco pipe, "kan" Bamileke, Cameroon, Cameroon grassland Ohne Sockel / without base Wood, iron. L 37 cm. Provenance: Gérald Minkoff (1937-2009) and Muriel Olesen (1948-2020), Geneva. Exhibited: Lausanne: Musée des arts décoratifs. Au quotidien sublime. Gérald Minkoff et Muriel Olesen: un choix d'objets, de parures et de tissus traditionnels en Afrique. 27.09 - 09.11.1997. By Gérald Minkoff and Muriel Olesen in 1997 at the exhibition "Au quotidien sublime. Un choix d'objets, de parures et de tissus traditionels d'Afrique" as follows: "Pipe cérémonielle à tabac Tikar, nord-ouest du Cameroun, bois, fer et tissu, XIX ou début du XXme siècle, longueur totale 372 mm. Deux parties. Partie suPörieure, long, appar. 222mm., tuyau de fer entouré d'une gaîne en bois ajouré de cinq personnages, les mains sur les hanches et dont un seul qui fait face au fumeur semble féminin. This frise de cariatides is itself placed between two series of cinq lignes parallèles incisées. The lower part, the fourneau, whose largest dimension is 195 mm, is, like the previous part, perforated with a trou that allows for the evacuation of the saliva and the control of the tirage.* Le fourneau est dépourvu de tout décor, si ce n'est une bague reliant celui-ci au corps de la pipe et permettant d'y passer un doigt pour l'avoir bien en main. *Notons que la pipe d'apparat en est dépourvue puisqu'elle n'est pas fonctionelle." -------------------------------------------- It is difficult to say exactly when smoking began in West Africa, but it is certain that tobacco reached sub-Saharan Africa via trade from North Africa very early on, in the first centuries AD. It is also obvious that the pleasurable consumption of tobacco and the smoking of hemp can still be an essential part of ceremonies and rites to this day, in addition to personal pleasure. Tobacco pipes come in a wide variety of sizes, materials and shapes. As personal possessions of men and women, the various smoking instruments are an outward sign of prestige and wealth. While simple pipes served only the primary purpose of smoking and were more easily accessible, particularly ornate tobacco pipes were the privilege of wealthy notables and rulers.

Baum Publications. ----------------------------------------------------- Gérald Minkoff and Muriel Olesen Muriel Minkoff-Olesen (1948- 2020) completed her training at the School of Design in Geneva. Gérald Minkoff (1937-2009) was a trained anthropologist and biologist. Both achieved fame as artists and from their meeting in 1967, the emblematic couple of contemporary art were inseparable. The travel-loving Olesen-Minkoff duo explored life like curious nomads, roaming the globe from Africa to Asia, Oceania, America and Patagonia. As artists and experienced collectors of contemporary art, they understandably had a keen sensitivity to the aesthetics and concepts of non-European art. The couple's Geneva apartment, perhaps their most beautiful joint work, thus became a place where the works of close friends such as Daniel Spoerri, Arman and Man Ray, as well as their own photographs, lived together with almost a thousand objects from Africa, Oceania, Asia and South America.
