2 Kirdi beaded aprons 2 glass beaded loincloth aprons Kirdi, Cameroon Ohne Sockel / without base Glass beads, plant fiber, cowrie snails. H 10 - 19 cm. Provenance: Gérald Minkoff (1937-2009) and Muriel Olesen (1948-2020), Geneva. The colorfully patterned loincloths are worn by women and girls in Cameroon. According to Abrams (1987), they serve not only as a protective covering but also as decorative clothing to attract attention. The diverse patterns can provide clues as to which age group the wearer belongs to and her social status. Further reading: Dubin, Lois Sherr (1987).

DuMont, Cologne. ----------------------------------------------------- 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.
