"The richly illustrated and expertly designed publication accompanying the exhibition "Woven Beauty -- The Art of West African Textiles" at the Museum der Kulturen Basel offers an impressive overview of West African textile culture, highlighting Mali, Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana. Editor Bernhard Gardi was a member of the Boser-Gardi expedition that travelled across West Africa thirty-five years ago. The publication focuses on the collection assembled in the course of this journey. Well-informed contributions by renowned anthropologists provide valuable insight into an important but often neglected aspect of African art history."--Publisher's website.
