A real conflit is going one between African arts dealers.I personaly anderstand why because every body is trying to protecte their business and customers.But when it come to tell customers to don't by from Africans while you are bying from Africans,that's not good.A collector is always ask by apraisors who they bbuying their peices from.When the response is from Africans they will be told that the peices are fake.There is no fake in African Arts coming from Africa as there is no fake picaso made by picasso.What is fake is the immitation of African Arts by indonesians or other carvers outside of Africa.Or a Malian peice made in Cameroun.What is recent or not old is not fake as long it comes from the orinal place.A buyer welling to become a collector of antiques African,precolombian,etc.got to be ready to spend $10,000.00 or $20,000.00 in a single piece.You can buy what you like if you are collecting for your grand childrens.The value of a collection is the importance of your own name or your family reputation...
