A Punu-Lumbo Mask, "okuyi" Mask, "okuyi" Punu-Lumbo, Gabon Ohne Sockel / without base Wood. H 26 cm. Provenance: - Pierre Bergé & Associés, Paris. 28.04.2006, lot 151. - Gérald Minkoff (1937-2009) and Muriel Olesen (1948-2020), Geneva. Described by Pierre Bergé (London, 28.04.2006, lot 151) as follows: "Masque féminin en forme de coeur à coiffure tressée. Polychromie blanche, rouge et noire. Ancienne patine d'usage (accidents). Peuple Lumbo (Gabon), début du XXe siècle." -------------------------------------------- In the Ngounié valley of south-western Gabon, the okuyi dance society plays a central role in the social life of the communities. The classic white masks embody a spirit and mainly appear at funerals, usually in the early hours of the morning or at dusk. Wrapped in cotton or raffia fabrics and animal skins, the mask dancer balanced on stilts up to two meters high and occasionally wielded a whip to scare the audience. The white color stood for everything otherworldly and thus for the cycle of life and the world of the ancestors. The idealized face with its calm, clear forms, gentle curves and raised eyebrows above the narrow eye slits is painted with kaolin clay, except for the black hairstyle. Further reading: Falgayrettes-Leveau, Christiane (2006). Gabon. Présence des Esprits. Paris: Éditions Dapper. -------------------------------------------- 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 became 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.
