Promotional Information

1. No publication of this kind on the market. 2. Today all museums in the world exhibiting tribal, ethnographic, or African art have specialised headrest areas, sections, or departments. This includes major museums such as the British Museum (Carved Wooden Headrests): The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Headrests); The World Museum Liverpool (Africa Collection). 3. Headrests are extremely popular with antique dealers and collectors, and there is an important market associated with this type of art. 4. In the last decade or so, the demand of ethnographic, utilitarian art has become almost as important as anthropomorphic and zoomorphic art, and headrests have become appreciated collection items. Wooden Dreams will be a reference book for African art and more particularly in the specific domain of utilitarian art and artefacts. Target audience would be art merchants, private collectors, galleries, and museums. Considering its research and visual content (short anthropological narratives), universities, research and ethnographic centres, and libraries would also be direct customers. 5. An easy, accessible, and very visual design of the book with historic pictures will also appeal to a vast audience, who would like to have it as a coffee-table book. People interested in art, culture, ethnicity, anthropology, aesthetics, creativity, tradition, and spirituality would certainly be attracted to this book. especially knowing that headrests are becoming "extinct."
