X ?7 features non- w < * 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 EAST WINSTON NORTHWEST I Model Pharmacs Public Safet; 2.
