TREND OF THE WEEK African Contemporary Art Galleries and museums in major art markets are displaying a new openness to African artists. In London, four galleries focusing exclusively on contemporary African artists have opened; the city hosted the inaugural 1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair in 2013; and the Tate Modern created an African collections committee in 2012. The Brooklyn Museum featured two shows from contemporary African artists in 2013, Ghanaian sculptor El Anatsui and Nairobi-born Wangechi Mutu (now based in Brooklyn). As African art gets more serious attention, we`ll see prices heating up.
