- Summary:
- "Over the past 50 years, John and Nicole Dintenfass have assembled an African art collection that can serve as a model and a source of inspiration for new and seasoned collectors alike. Featuring 130 works from their collection, each object captured in multiple beautiful and sensitive photographs, this lavishly illustrated book traces the origin of a collector's interest in African art and analyzes the psychological aspects driving the passion for collecting."--Jacket.
