Since
1975, Barrister's Gallery has sold authentic primitive and tribal art
to decorators, collectors and institutions. Barrister's is one of the
few galleries in the world that has the depth of inventory to offer the
traditional ritual arts of tribal Africa, India, Nepal and the Pacific
Basin, as well as the primitive folk
crafts of Indonesia and Latin
America.
"The
work Barrister's displays carries beyond scholarly documentation or
explanations - it speaks directly to the primitive mind that prowls
beneath each and every one of our civilized surfaces. As another
reviewer mused, ''This work has a depth and a vital spirit all of its
own...every single piece of art in Barristers' is alive. You don't
'own' this kind of art, you (politely) invite it to come and live with
you. "
Michelle Delio (contributing writer, WIRED)
It
is impossible for us to show any significant part of our ethnographic
art collection. Our resources are private collections here and abroad.
Several African friends of long standing -- Doctors, Lawyers and
African art specialists -- in Ghana, Burkina, Nigeria and Zaire -- have
grown up collecting with us and often provide us with excellent ritual
objects from legitimate sources in Africa.
