Descrizione : Wood - 218 cm Sudan Provenance Collected by Christian Duponcheel in the vicinity of Tonj in 1972 Acquired from above in 1973 Private collection, Brussels As Bernard de Grunne wrote in his about the Bongo figures, Bongo art had been know by few specialists, no major Bongo work appeared in any Western public collection until Belgian dealer Christian Duponcheel went to Sudan in 1972, just after the cease-fire of 1972 of a long civil war which had started in 1955. He collected eleven anthropomorphic figures collected in the vicinity of Tonj. There figures were sold to the different institutions and major private collections : Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Menil Foundation, Houston, Art Gallery of Ontario, Gift of Barbara and Murray Frum, Musée Barbier-Mueller, Geneva, British Museum, London, Two of them to the Collection of Georg Baselitz, former collection of Freddy Rolin, Private collection, Belgium, former Collection Count Baudouin de Grunne, New York private collection, Collection Wally and Udo Horstmann, Private collection, former Raymond A. Britt Family collection. The figure presented here represents the 12th know and classified figure of the Duponcheel group. Standing in the same position of the figure of the former de Grunne collection with a raised arm, a great presence exudes from this monumental figure. Despite its condition due to its age and the conditions of collection, this figure impose a impression of dignity and majesty. The Duponcheel expedition really put Bongo statuary on the map of African art history. Since the 1980's a number of statues and posts have reached Europe. Thank to the interest of this important style, these abandoned funerary sculptures have been saved from destruction, fire and civil disturbance associated also at one point with Muslim occupation in the region.
