The first publication of the Mack Collection. A must for every lover of African art.

120 selected works from his Africa Collection. From the so-called "Second Art Collection of Han Coray" are some works, including an anthropomorphic monkey figure "amwin" Baule, that was published in 1968 by Paolo Morigi in 1968 in “Meisterwerke Altafrikanischer Kultur aus der Sammlung Casa Coray, Agnuzzo-Lugano“.
 

It is now scientifically proven: The Benin head from the Bassenge estate is a work from the 19th century and was once part of the Rudolf Mosse art collection, which was forcibly auctioned in Berlin in 1934. Restitution negotiations and an amicable agreement with the heirs took place shortly before the publication of the auction catalogue.
