Lasting foundations: the art of architecture in africa

May 10 - August 19, 2007

Over 60 works of art and 50 photographs surveying the innovative and varied architecture used in African homes, palaces, and public places.  Lasting Foundations explores the symbolic and aesthetic significance of the sculpture and paintings applied to buildings, and celebrates architecture that is practical and beautiful, adapted to the landscape, and imbued with symbolic significance. The exhibit was organized by the Museum for African Art, New York, with support from Merrill Lynch.
