We have collected African art for a long time. We have bought African art because we love the work, not because of any purported investment value. Understanding the cultural significance of any piece adds to its richness, but, more important, is just enjoying the piece of art. It is important that we enjoy what we buy, and that after many years of displaying our art (no matter how big or small), we still enjoy looking at it and wondering about it. That is why we collect African art.
