Rising Star: Europe's Hottest African Art Dealer Patric Didier Claes


Patric Didier Claes is quickly making a name for himself bringing rare African art pieces to mainstream art collectors. In '98, he curated a show featuring 100 African objects. Last year, he presented an Nkonde nail fetish from the Lower Congo region call "Ngwadi". And this year, Claes unearthed a Nigerian Ekoi statue that measures 6'6" at the Brussels Antiques and Fine Art Fair (BRAFA) which ended today.

Claes recently did a Q&A with ArtInfo -- read the full interview at Artinfo.com.
