“Diverse” Art Auction TODAY! What a Difference!

MOTAL’s third “Slow Art Auction” continues the focus on women. It opens on Saturday, May 29 at 7 am Pacific time and continues through midnight, Wednesday, June 2. This time, all three images are quite different from one another—coming to us from widely contrasting places: a Nigerian village, New York City, and rural California. We are grateful to the donors for making this art gallery possible. Enjoy!

#1 – “Mother and Child”
This thorn carving above is from a Yoruba village in the Nigerian bush. The piece was created in the mid-1960s by a master wood carver at that time. The mother is preparing Gari root for stew, and her baby is content in the cloth sling on her back, a common way to carry a baby in Africa.

Fair Market Value: $60
Dimensions:
3" tall and 3" wide

#2 - “Woman in Fur”
This very large, framed photo is one of the quality images sold through art.com. It is under glass, and at 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide, it is impressive (and difficult to photograph without glare). The glamorous woman with the enchanting expression is modeling a fur coat.

Fair Market Value: $300

Dimensions:
4 feet tall and 3 feet wide

Fair Market Value: $90
Dimensions:
12” high and 15” wide
Weight: 6.8 pounds

HOW IT WORKS
