Andres Moraga

ANDRES MORAGA offers rare textiles and works of art from a variety of cultures, with an emphasis on AFRICA and SOUTH AMERICA. Early fiber art, bark paintings, ceremonial headdresses, fine basketry and outstanding beadwork are a specialty.

During the past 25 years, Andrés Moraga has been instrumental in promoting interest in little-known traditions such as the extraordinary textile arts of the Kuba and other Congo peoples, the lyrical paintings of the Mbuti Pygmies, and the ponchos of the Mapuche and Pampas tribes of Chile and Argentina. He has placed significant collections with major US and European museums, including the Chicago Art Institute, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the DeYoung Museum, the Musée Dapper, the British Museum and the Linden Museum.

A diverse inventory-sometimes esoteric, always visually compelling-reflects a discerning eye, shaped by an interest in ancient and contemporary aesthetics, and informed by extensive research into the cultural and historical context of each piece. All works offered for sale meet the highest standards of artistic creativity and authenticity.
