A Bozo Terracotta Woman Seat, "por tî" Terracotta woman seat, "por tî" Bozo, Mali Ohne Sockel / without base Terracotta. H 18 cm. Provenance: - According to handwritten note on label: Galerie Africana, Antonio Fiacco, Zurich (2002). - Gérald Minkoff (1937-2009) and Muriel Olesen (1948-2020), Geneva. The ancient city of Djenné was founded around 800 AD and belonged to the Ghana Empire. It was the most important trading post for caravans crossing the Sahara and thus also a link between Black Africa and the Mediterranean. Since 1943, terracotta and metal objects have been found in the region of this city as a result of river course changes. Although this region was already Islamized at that time, figurative art obviously developed there in parallel. Although terracotta objects from the Djenné are not completely unknown, based on the current state of research, no reliable information can be given about the purpose of this representation. Scientific analyses date the finds between the beginning of the 11th century and the end of the 17th century. Further reading: Phillips, Tom (1996). Africa. The art of a continent. Munich: Prestel Verlag. p. 485 ff. ----------------------------------------------------- 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.
