Provenance Information
Acquired by donor from Amadou Thiam Gallery, of Dakar, Paris, and Los Angeles around 1995. Thiam claims to have given the donor relevant export documents but the donor's recent health issues have made searching for these documents difficult. The donors sister found a file with the required documentation but these appear to be for a different piece. The dealer has likewise been unable to find copies in any of the three locations. The donor long ago promised the DIA the pick of her collection.
Exhibition Information
Work has been on view at the museum since the grand opening of 2007, when it was placed on view in the renovated African galleries.
