Foreward by Philippe de Montebellow - Preface by Lester Wunderman "The sculpture of the Dogon of Mali, one of the richest art traditions of West Africa, greets the visitor to the Metropolitan Museum's Michael C. Rockefeller Wing and constitutes one of the highlights of the Museum's permanent installation of African art. The outstanding collection of Dogon sculpture acquired by the Museum of Primitive Art and Nelson A. Rockefeller, transferred to the Metropolitan in 1978 and 1979, has been enriched by generous gifts made by Lester Wunderman in 1977, 1979, 1985, and 1987. Lester Wunderman's gifts to the Metropolitan, totaling 107 objects, have created a collection that few American or European museums can equal, either in range of objects or in quality. It is, therefore, with great pleasure that the MEtropolitan Museum now presents the special exhibition Art of the Dogon: Selections from the Lester Wunderman Collection . In it are masterpieces of Dogon art drawn from the personal collection of Mr. Wunderman and from the group of objects he has donated to the Museum. Although this selection includes many objects not previously exhibited, this is not the first time the Wunderman collection has been shown to the museum-going public." ISBN 0870995081
