Spoons of Africa from the Collection of Richard Ulevitch

Spoons of Africa from the Collection of Richard Ulevitch

A Taste of Beauty presents 96 exceptional antique spoons and additional related items from the African continent. As an extraordinary convergence of function, artistry, and cultural meaning, each spoon is a vessel of history, an artifact of identity, and a whisper from a past that continues to speak to us today. These spoons connect us to the hands that shaped them and give us a glimpse into the people and communities from which they came. A Taste of Beauty invites a reevaluation of the boundaries between art and utility. By highlighting the craftsmanship, symbolic meanings, and historical contexts, this exhibition contributes to a better understanding of African artistic traditions. These spoons not only enrich the field of art history but also serve as enduring reminders of the creativity that defines human cultures across time and space.
