Afrodizzia

We are collectors and purveyors of the finest authentic, rare, unique and exquisite tribal and decorative art from
West Africa.

Art lovers, modern art lovers, historians and collectors worldwide are investing in African art for more than its ethnographic data. It is genuine art that is sensual, provocative and contemporary. In the modern living space the juxtaposition of African art has a breathtakingly powerful beauty. It has had a profound influence on the work of many renowned artists, including Picasso, Van Gogh, Matisse, Derain, Modigliani Utrillo and more, whose work are normally found in modern art galleries, museums or private art collections.

These artifacts will move you. They resonate with the humanity and humility of a country where life and art are bound together as a matter of survival. As each tribal art piece draws you in, it will reveal to you its own spiritual and physical worlds.
