French approach of Afrincan art - Paris

You would look at objects from Benin and Togo without labels explaining their details at the exhibition of "Vodun: African voodoo" in Paris. Fondation Cartier is featuring the collection of Jacques Kerchache, a French explorer and collector, of voodoo statuary.

In this article, the curator of this show Leanne Sacramone explains that Kerchache wanted people to be confronted with the power of objects. He hoped that people don't look at them with exotic interest.

There is also a major exhibition of Dogon sculpture at the Musée du quai Branly in Paris. For a while Paris is the hub of traditional African art and in the future African art may centre on Paris.
