A powerful tribute to African art and the visionary collectors who preserved it. l’Afrique celebrates the legacy of Maria Stein-Lessing and Leopold Spiegel—German expatriates who fled the Nazis and devoted their lives to collecting and safeguarding African cultural treasures. Edited by Natalie Knight, this beautifully illustrated book accompanies the landmark exhibition held at Museum Africa and offers a rare glimpse into one of the most significant private collections of African art in South Africa.
