African Art Collection February 1, 2009

African art has been an integral part of the Neuberger Museum of Art since it opened in 1974. In 1999, the collection almost doubled in size with the major gift of 153 works from the collection of the late Lawrence Gussman, a notable collector and a resident of Scarsdale, New York. The African collection at the Neuberger Museum of Art is strongest in the arts of central Africa. Major objects, however, span a broad geographic range from Mali to Mozambique, offering artistic insights into over thirty cultures.
