This work heralds a watershed in Tsham’s career. Far from the profusion of masks and statuettes characteristic of his classic works, it portrays a simple confrontation between two figures. Simple, yet ultra-symbolic: the showdown between Africa and the West, the head-to-head between classic and contemporary art, and the asymmetric nature of how the two arts are financially valued.
