The opening of the African, Oceanic and New
World Gallery of the N.C. Museum of Art on Jan.
10 has provided museum visitors the opportunity to
see a sampling of the rich and varied art of nonWestern
traditions.
"The distinctive feature of these works is that
their primary function was nev^r purely decorative,
said curator Dr. Mary Ellen Soles, who coordinated
the installation of the gallery.
"These objects served religious, political and
social purposes of great importance to the cultures
in which they were created," she said.
The African, Oceanic and New World Gallery is
the last permanent gallery to be installed in the
museum's new building, which opened in April
1983. The installation will comprise approximately
55 African works, 35 pre-Columbian objects and 12
works from South Pacific cultures.
Although works in this collection were occasionally
on view in the museum's old building, the
new 4,500-square-foot gallery will be their first permanent
installation area.
TU? A r_: !!__? : ? J <*
i lie r\11 lwctu cuucwuun inciuaes nne examples ot
West African art, such as masks, headdresses and
figures. Of particular interest are a "Pair of Twin
figures (IbejiV?from the Yoruba of Nigeria, a
"Pair of Antelope Headpeices (Tji Wara)" from
Bamana of Mali and a "Sawfish Headpiece" from
the Ibo of Nigeria.
Sculpture and ceramics of pre-Columbian
cultures are featured in the initial New World installation.
The collection is especially strong in the
art of Mexico and Guatemala; a focal point of the
gallery will be the "Monumental Figure of a
Priestess,4' a clay sculpture from Vera Cruz, Mexico.
Objects from the South Pacific regions of New
Ireland, New Guinea and the New Hebrides, including
masks and other ceremonial objects, will be
on view in the Oceanic area. Of special interest will
be an intricately carved "Malanggan Totem Pole"
from New Ireland and a "Slit Gong" from the New
Hebrides, depicted as a.stylized human face, which
stands nearly 10 feet tall.
The installation of the gallery has been coordinated
by Dr. Soles, who is curator of ancient art
at the museum, with consultative curator Dr. Allen
Wardell, director of the Noguchi Museum in New
