A Dan Masque, "zakpai Masque, "zakpai" Dan, Côte d'Ivoire Sans socle / without base Bois, aluminium, textile, cheveux. H 24 cm.

De nombreux éléments indiquent qu'il s'agit ici d'un masque de détection de feu appelé "zakpai" qui, contrairement à la plupart des autres types de masques, ne dansait ni ne chantait. Pendant la saison sèche, un personnage masqué avec ce masque contrôlait si les femmes avaient éteint leurs feux de foyer le soir, car il y avait un risque élevé d'incendie en raison des rafales de vent.

Après avoir terminé sa scolarité, il a étudié les sciences économiques à l'Université de Lausanne (Faculté d'économie d'entreprise, HEC) avant d'entrer dans l'entreprise familiale "Rinsoz et Ormond SA" à Vevey, qui fabriquait du tabac, des cigares et des cigarettes. Profondément attaché à sa région d'origine, il a toujours été fortement impliqué dans les activités sociales, culturelles et industrielles de Vevey. Afin de diversifier les sources d'approvisionnement en tabac et de répondre aux exigences croissantes d'un marché en pleine expansion, Jean-Louis Rinsoz a cherché de nouveaux espaces de production. Ses voyages l'ont d'abord conduit dans le Maryland (États-Unis) puis, au milieu des années 1960, en Côte d'Ivoire. Ce pays a été pour lui une révélation. Tout ce qui le passionnait était là : la nature, les gens et leur culture ! Outre le développement d'un important partenariat économique avec l'État ivoirien, à travers la création de plusieurs centres de production de tabac là-bas, Jean-Louis Rinsoz a financé l'ouverture d'une série de petites écoles pour permettre aux enfants de ce pays d'accéder à l'éducation. Il a été officiellement nommé par l'État ivoirien "Consul honoraire de Côte d'Ivoire en Suisse avec résidence à Vevey" et a même été intronisé chef de village dans la région du Baoulé. L'art traditionnel de ces régions le fascinait tout autant, dans sa dimension sociale, esthétique et religieuse. C'est dans ce contexte qu'il a rencontré l'ethnologue et historien de l'art Bohumil Holas, alors directeur du Musée des civilisations de Côte d'Ivoire à Abidjan. Les deux hommes sont devenus amis. De la confluence de tous ces facteurs est née l'exposition "Arts de la Côte d'Ivoire. Les trésors du Musée d'Abidjan", qui s'est tenue en 1969 au Musée des Beaux-Arts de Vevey. Jean-Louis Rinsoz en était le président du comité. L'émouvante préface qu'il a écrite pour le catalogue de cette manifestation témoigne de son profond attachement à ce pays. Jean-Louis Rinsoz avait demandé la nationalité ivoirienne. Il ne devait jamais voir ce jour, puisqu'il est décédé dans un tragique accident en 1971. Les objets africains de la collection personnelle de Jean-Louis Rinsoz étaient depuis lors en possession de la famille et ce "trésor de Vevey" sera proposé pour la première fois aux collectionneurs internationaux d'art traditionnel africain lors de notre vente aux enchères.

By participating in the auction the bidder accepts the following auction conditions.
1. The auction objects are auctioned in the name and on the account of the supplier or one of the third parties designated by him. The bid in Swiss francs is accepted from the highest bidder recognized by the auctioneer. In principle, the auctioned item is handed over to the buyer only in return for cash payment. The invoice for a successful bid for an auctioned item is payable within 7 days from the end of the auction. HAMMER AUKTIONEN may use any payment by the purchaser as settlement for any debt which the purchaser owes to HAMMER AUKTIONEN and set off any debt which it owes to the purchaser against its own claims. If the successful bidder defaults on a payment, default interest of 15% p.a. is charged upon the invoiced sum.
2. In addition to the bid price, the successful bidder must pay a surcharge of 26% on top of the the hammer price up to CHF 100'000, and of 21% above CHF 100'000.
If the winning bid is placed in the course of an Internet live online auction through, the surcharges are subject to the conditions published on the respective Internet sites.
Payment is welcome by bank wire to the account specified on the invoice. All costs and fees for the wire sould be borne by the buyer.
Payment by credit card is subject to a surcharge of 3%. Payment through Paypal is subject to a surcharge of 5%.
The invoice is payable within 7 (seven) days from the end of the auction.
Hammer Auktionen is pleased to offer you free storage for 30 days.
After this 30 days period of free storage, Hammer Auktionen will charge a daily fee of CHF 10 per item for storage and insurance.
3. The stated percentage of the surcharge relates to the successful bid for each individual item. The purchaser agrees that, if HAMMER AUKTIONEN acts as agent for the party offering the goods for sale, HAMMER AUKTIONEN receives a commission from the latter.
4. The items are auctioned in the condition existing at the time of the successful bid. Without prejudice to Clause 5, no guarantee or warranty whatsoever is given against legal and material defects. The items can be inspected while exhibited. The items are described to the best of our knowledge and belief but HAMMER AUKTIONEN cannot accept any liability for the particulars given in the catalogue. HAMMER AUKTIONEN reserves the right to call in experts or specialists of its choice to give an opinion and to rely upon that opinion. HAMMER AUKTIONEN cannot be held liable for the correctness of that opinion.
5. The auction house is prepared of its own free will to cancel the successful bid and to refund the bid price, the surcharge and the VAT if within 2 month from the date of the successful bid the purchased item is found to be a deliberate modern forgery. A deliberate modern forgery is deemed to be an imitation which may be proven to have been produced with the intention to deceive whether with regard to the originator, origin, date, age, period, cultural society or source without this being shown in the catalogue and if, at the time of the sale, its value was less than the value of an item corresponding to that described in the catalogue. However, HAMMER AUKTIONEN's warranty does not in any way apply to the attribution of authorship and/or period of paintings, watercolors, drawings and sculpture which were or, according to the particulars given in the catalogue.
A refund requires that the successful bidder makes a complaint to HAMMER AUKTIONEN by registered letter immediately after the discovery of the defect and returns the forged item to HAMMER AUKTIONEN in the same condition as it was sold to him and unencumbered by third parties claims. The successful bidder must provide proof that the auctioned item is a forgery when compared with the description in the catalogue and that the item is indeed the auctioned item.
No claims of any kind may be made if the description in the catalogue corresponds to the latest specialist knowledge or the opinion of the majority of authoritative experts at the time when the catalogue was prepared and/or if the fake could not be recognized in accordance with the latest research and with generally accepted and practiced scientific methods at the time when the catalogue was prepared or could only have been recognized by means of a scientific process which was unreasonably expensive or impractical to use or was likely to have caused damage to the property.
6. A bid is a binding offer. The bidder remains bound by his bid until a higher bid is given or until it is rejected by the auctioneer. In the event of a double bid, the call for bids is immediately made once again; in doubtful cases the auction management decides. Ownership is transferred to the purchaser with the successful bid. HAMMER AUKTIONEN retains a right of retention and a lien on all the purchasers items in its custody until full payment of all monies owed. HAMMER AUKTIONEN may exercise such liens by private sale or in accordance with the legislation on the enforcement of debts on whatever conditions seem appropriate.

HAMMER AUKTIONEN reserves the right to request proof of financial soundness in the case of successful bids of more than CHF 10.000. If such proof is not provided, HAMMER AUKTIONEN may request an immediate payment on account of 10% of the successful bid in cash or a guarantee. If the payment on account is not made or the guarantee not provided, HAMMER AUKTIONEN may cancel the successful bid.

12. Each successful bidder acquires personal liability for the bid accepted from him. Proof of the power of representation may be requested from persons bidding as agents for a third party or as an organ of a corporate body. The agent is jointly and severally liable with his principal for the fulfillment of all obligations.
13. Written bids from potential buyers who cannot attend the auction in person are accepted up to 24 hours before the bidding begins.

However, HAMMER AUKTIONEN's warranty does not in any way apply to the attribution of authorship and/or period of paintings, watercolors, drawings and sculpture which were or, according to the particulars given in the catalogue.
A refund requires that the successful bidder makes a complaint to HAMMER AUKTIONEN by registered letter immediately after the discovery of the defect and returns the forged item to HAMMER AUKTIONEN in the same condition as it was sold to him and unencumbered by third parties claims. The successful bidder must provide proof that the auctioned item is a forgery when compared with the description in the catalogue and that the item is indeed the auctioned item.
No claims of any kind may be made if the description in the catalogue corresponds to the latest specialist knowledge or the opinion of the majority of authoritative experts at the time when the catalogue was prepared and/or if the fake could not be recognized in accordance with the latest research and with generally accepted and practiced scientific methods at the time when the catalogue was prepared or could only have been recognized by means of a scientific process which was unreasonably expensive or impractical to use or was likely to have caused damage to the property.
6. A bid is a binding offer. The bidder remains bound by his bid until a higher bid is given or until it is rejected by the auctioneer. In the event of a double bid, the call for bids is immediately made once again; in doubtful cases the auction management decides. Ownership is transferred to the purchaser with the successful bid. HAMMER AUKTIONEN retains a right of retention and a lien on all the purchasers items in its custody until full payment of all monies owed. HAMMER AUKTIONEN may exercise such liens by private sale or in accordance with the legislation on the enforcement of debts on whatever conditions seem appropriate.
7. Bidders who are not personally known to HAMMER AUKTIONEN are required to prove their identity before the auction begins. HAMMER AUKTIONEN reserves the right to request proof of financial soundness in the case of successful bids of more than CHF 10.000. If such proof is not provided, HAMMER AUKTIONEN may request an immediate payment on account of 10% of the successful bid in cash or a guarantee. If the payment on account is not made or the guarantee not provided, HAMMER AUKTIONEN may cancel the successful bid.

The successful bidder is liable for all prejudice caused by non-payment or late payment and, should the successful bid be cancelled, particularly for any loss of proceeds if the auctioned item is sold elsewhere.
12. Each successful bidder acquires personal liability for the bid accepted from him. Proof of the power of representation may be requested from persons bidding as agents for a third party or as an organ of a corporate body.
