Eisenhofer, Stefan. African Art. Los Angeles, CA: Taschen America, 2010.

With examples from every region of the continent - from Mali, Democratic Republic of Congo, and the Republic of Congo as well as a dozen other countries including Madagascar and South Africa - this book demonstrates the wide variety of African art, describing the social and religious background without which this art, which today is increasingly threatened with extinction, could not be understood.

“Let’s talk about how the narrative of Africa is being told, and who is doing the telling. I want to share with you the selection of work by contemporary artists from Africa and its diaspora. I love this art. I find it beautiful and inspiring and thrilling, and I really hope I am able to pique your interest.”

Eliard, Stéphane. L’art contemporain au Burkina Faso [Contemporary Art in Burkina Faso]. Paris: Harmattan, 2002.

African art has seen renewed interest in the West in recent years. However, African countries don’t benefit equally from it. In Burkina Faso, which remained on the fringes of these developments, we are currently seeing the emergence of a real art world. This book analyzes the conditions of its evolutions and gives an overview of contemporary art in this country.
