Lucas Ratton Tribal Art
Lucas Ratton Gallery highlights Tribal Art from Non-Western Cultures.
Biography
The gallery is specialized in the ritual works of Africa. Whether it is sculptures from West Africa, such as the Tyiwara crests of the Malian Bambara ethnic group, the Fang or Punu "classics" of Gabonese art, or the statues with the magical or prophylactic qualities of the Teke, Luba, or Kusu tribes from Congo, objects are always chosen according to their aesthetic values and scientific authenticity.
