Historically, New Yorkers have been among the foremost collectors of tribal art. New York politicians,
artists, business leaders, professionals, fashion moguls and celebrities such as Helena Rubinstein,
Nelson Rockefeller, Andy Warhol, John Friede, Armand Arman and Robert Mapplethorpe have
solidified the international tribal art market rumored to now only exist in Paris.

NYC Tribal Art Week® was created in 2010 by gallery owner, magazine publisher and show promoter
David A. Cassera who said, “I had a vision two years ago when I created NYC Tribal Art Week® and
the Madison Avenue Promenade Tribal Art Gallery Walk. Now in it’s third year I continue to follow the
blueprints of New York’s Asia Week. We are pleased with the progress we have made over the last
few years bringing the excitement of Tribal Art back to the City where it all began.”

This year NYC Tribal Art Week® has reached a pinnacle and features three major tribal art auctions
at Sotheby’s, Christie’s and Bonhams as well as a wealth of gallery exhibitions and events focused on
tribal art.

NYC Tribal Art Week will take place from May 7 - 13, 2012 in New York City. A consortium of leading
specialists will offer traditional African, Asian, Oceanic, and Native American works of art of the
highest quality, including rare masterpieces as well as more affordable items.
