These artists, who are among the most important on the contemporary scene in Africa and the Diaspora, are part of an ongoing dialogue on both sides of the Atlantic. By presenting the works of Senegalese painter Souleymane Keita (1947-2014), who lived in New York in the 80s, for the first time at a fair, the gallery is part of a movement to bring African modernism back into the international spotlight.
