YUAG’s Bámigbóyè exhibit, curated by CAS Faculty James Green, Receives High Praise in NY Times Review

The exhibition will run from September 9, 2022 to January 8, 2023 at Yale University Art Gallery.

“Bámigbóyè: A Master Sculptor of the Yorùbá Tradition is the first exhibition dedicated to the workshop of the Nigerian artist Moshood Olúṣọmọ Bámigbóyè (ca. 1885–1975). Part of a generation of Yorùbá woodcarvers with flourishing workshops in southwestern Nigeria, Bámigbóyè was highly regarded for the masks that he made in the 1920s and 1930s for ceremonies called Ẹpa. Today, these masks are considered some of the most spectacular and complex works of Yorùbá art ever created.” (Read More)
