The first comprehensive monograph on the renowned Yoruba master sculptor Moshood Olúṣọmọ Bámigbóyè, Bámigbóyè: A Master Sculptor of the Yoruba Tradition, delves into the remarkable 50-year career of this Nigerian artist. Widely recognized as one of the most significant Yoruba sculptors of the 20th century, Bámigbóyè is celebrated for his awe-inspiring masks, intricately carved for religious festivals known as Ẹpa. These masks, weighing up to 80 pounds and towering over 4 feet tall, feature intricate superstructures adorned with dozens of finely detailed individual figures. They stand as some of the most complex and elaborate works of Yoruba art ever created. This lavish volume, adorned with 190 illustrations, showcases masterpieces from Bámigbóyè's workshop, now housed in collections across America, Europe, and Nigeria. Essays place Bámigbóyè's work within the context of Africa's oldest and most vibrant art traditions, exploring its relationship with contemporary Yoruba art, culture, politics, and religion. Through the inclusion of new and archival photographs, as well as oral histories conducted with the artist's family and community, this catalogue fills a significant gap in African art-historical scholarship.
Distributed for the Yale University Art Gallery, the exhibition of Bámigbóyè: A Master Sculptor of the Yoruba Tradition will be held at the Yale University Art Gallery from September 9, 2022, to January 8, 2023.
