5 Dogon Iron Necklaces with various Beads, "amma talu"

Item Details

Description

5 Ritual-Colliers, "amma talu"
Dogon, Mali
Ohne Sockel / without base
Eisen, Stein. H 31 - 58 cm.

Provenienz:
Gérald Minkoff (1937-2009) und Muriel Olesen (1948-2020), Genf.

Eisenketten aus gewundenen geschlossenen Gliedern mit Zusatzelementen aus Stein und Eisen.

Die geschliffenen Steine stammen laut der Dogon-Überlieferung aus Gräbstätten früherer, ihnen fremder Kulturen.

Der "amma talu" (auch "nommo koro") genannte Ritualschmuck, wurde der gängigen Literatur folgend ausschliesslich von Priestern getragen.

Weiterführende Literatur:

---------------------------------------------------------------

Gérald Minkoff und Muriel Olesen

Muriel Minkoff-Olesen (1948- 2020) absolvierte ihre Ausbildung an der Schule für Gestaltung in Genf. Gérald Minkoff (1937-2009) war ausgebildeter Anthropologe und Biologe.

Beide erlangen als Künstler Bekanntheit und ab ihrer Begegnung im Jahr 1967 war das symbolträchtige Paar der zeitgenössischen Kunst unzertrennlich. Das reisebegeisterte Duo Olesen-Minkoff erkundete das Leben wie neugierige Nomaden und durchstreifte so den Erdball von Afrika über Asien, Ozeanien und Amerika bis Patagonien.

Als Künstler und erfahrene Sammler zeitgenössischer Kunst hatten sie verständlicherweise auch eine ausgeprägte Sensibilität für die Ästhetik und Konzepte der Aussereuropäischen Kunst.

Die Genfer Wohnung des Paares, vielleicht ihr schönstes Gemeinschaftswerk, wurde dadurch zu einem Ort, an dem die Werke enger Freunde wie Daniel Spoerri, Arman und Man Ray sowie ihre eigenen Fotografien mit fast tausend Objekten aus Afrika, Ozeanien, Asien und Südamerika zusammenlebten.
