African Art in Transit by Christopher B. SteinerCall Number: Main Library Stacks N7399.I8 S74 1994
Examines the commodification of African artworks as they enter the global system of commerce. Focuses on middlemen in the trade as crucial participants who create interest, help set value, and produce interpretations that travel with the art. Economic value and exchange are emphasized.
