Regards Arts Premiers: Summer Collections Online Auction Control Panel

**A Look at Primitive Art: Summer Collections**

*100% Online Auction*

This summer, Trianon Auctions invites you on a journey to the heart of the world’s cultures with its online auction, “Regards Arts Premiers: Summer Collections.”

Featuring a selection of masks, sculptures, fetishes, statues, ritual objects, and collectibles chosen for their aesthetic qualities, this auction showcases works drawn primarily from the great artistic traditions of sub-Saharan Africa, as well as from Oceania and other cultural regions.

Far beyond their remarkable artistic quality, these objects bear witness to the richness of the societies that created them. Intended for initiation ceremonies, rites of passage, ancestor worship, divination practices, or the protection of communities, they embody beliefs, craftsmanship, and traditions passed down through generations.

Collectors will find, in particular, masks used in public ceremonies, figures symbolizing power or protection, sculptures of ancestors, fetishes, divination objects, as well as various examples of tribal art from iconic peoples of West Africa, Central Africa, and other regions of the continent.

Assembled over decades by passionate collectors—including the Turin-based collection of Mr. and Mrs. A.—this selection illustrates the diversity of forms, styles, and materials used by artists from these cultures. Carved wood, plant fibers, metal, beads, cowrie shells, and natural pigments come together here in a collection where each work tells a unique story.

Whether you are a seasoned collector, a lover of non-European art, or simply curious to discover these major artistic expressions, bidders are invited to browse this summer catalog, which celebrates discovery, cultural transmission, and emotion.

We wish you an enjoyable experience browsing this sale and successful bidding.

This is a 100% online auction; additional photos and condition reports will be available in early September 2025.
