Item Details

Description

Schmuckperle, Armreif, Halsreif, Fingerring und 3 Anhänger
Djenne, Mali
Ohne Sockel / without base
Kupferlegierungen. H 5,5 - 17 cm.

Provenienz:
Gérald Minkoff (1937-2009) und Muriel Olesen (1948-2020), Genf.

Die alte Stadt Djenné wurde um 800 n. Chr. gegründet und gehörte zum Reich Ghana. Sie war die wesentlichste Handelsstation für Karawanen, die die Sahara durchquerten, und damit auch Bindeglied zwischen Schwarzafrika und Mittelmeer.

In der Region dieser Stadt wurden seit 1943 durch Flusslaufänderungen Terrakotten und Objekte aus Metall gefunden. Obwohl diese Region schon damals islamisiert war, entwickelte sich dort offensichtlich parallel eine figürliche Kunst.

Obwohl Gussarbeiten der Djenné nicht gänzlich unbekannt sind, lassen sich, gestützt auf den heutigen Forschungsstand, über den Verwendungszweck dieser selten Darstellung keine gesicherten Angaben machen. Naturwissenschaftliche Analysen datieren die Funde zwischen Anfang des 11. Jh. und Ende des 17. Jh.

Seit jeher begleitet und fasziniert Schmuck in verschiedensten Formen und Materialien die Menschen aller Kulturen. Aus kultureller Sicht sind Arm- und Fussreifen, Amulette, Fingerringe und Colliers aber viel mehr als nur Schmuckstücke. In weiten Teilen Afrikas werden die meisterhaft gefertigten Preziosen zwar für ihre Schönheit geschätzt, aber die wertvollen Ornamente sind vor allem auch Teil der religiösen Überzeugungen. Sie sind daher Zeugnisse für die Zugehörigkeit, den Rang und den Glauben der Träger.

Gérald Minkoff und Muriel Olesen

Muriel Minkoff-Olesen (1948- 2020) absolvierte ihre Ausbildung an der Schule für Gestaltung in Genf. Gérald Minkoff (1937-2009) war ausgebildeter Anthropologe und Biologe.

Beide erlangen als Künstler Bekanntheit und ab ihrer Begegnung im Jahr 1967 war das symbolträchtige Paar der zeitgenössischen Kunst unzertrennlich. Das reisebegeisterte Duo Olesen-Minkoff erkundete das Leben wie neugierige Nomaden und durchstreifte so den Erdball von Afrika über Asien, Ozeanien und Amerika bis Patagonien.

Als Künstler und erfahrene Sammler zeitgenössischer Kunst hatten sie verständlicherweise auch eine ausgeprägte Sensibilität für die Ästhetik und Konzepte der Aussereuropäischen Kunst.

Die Genfer Wohnung des Paares, vielleicht ihr schönstes Gemeinschaftswerk, wurde dadurch zu einem Ort, an dem die Werke enger Freunde wie Daniel Spoerri, Arman und Man Ray sowie ihre eigenen Fotografien mit fast tausend Objekten aus Afrika, Ozeanien, Asien und Südamerika zusammenlebten.
