Introducing to Switzerland for the first time, the collection which transformed the MoMA’s vision on African Art

“In putting together my collection, I wanted to speak as little as possible about the dark part of Africa. On the contrary, I wanted to show a happy Africa, its visual richness, its luxurious nature, the energy of its inhabitants... I have always said that I wanted to be Africa’s visual ambassador.” Jean Pigozzi
