D. R. Congo, LubaRobert Pearson, Denver, USA George Hegarty, Denver, USA Christie's, November 1997 Mark Eglinton, New York, USA Pearson began collecting African art later in his life. Spurred by the Douglas Society at the Denver Museum of Art, and his friendship with noted collector George Heggarty, he began building an enormous, eclectic collection. He loved textiles and “material culture”- things which had domestic use, like spoons, cups, stools, and chairs, as well as masks and carvings. His collection included items from more than thirty African countries, and his fine eye gave him pieces ranging from a golddust scale to huge Dogon figural ladders. Hegarty began collecting while a Peace Corps volunteer in Sénégal in 1968 and continued during later trips to West Africa.sold EUR 2,500Lot 290 : Female mask "La belle Madeleine"
