We are a gallery that exclusively shows contemporary African fine art. Operating for over 20 years, we serve individuals, corporate clients and museums that are seeking to expand their knowledge and or collections of contemporary fine art. The artists we show have established reputations in Europe and other parts of the world.
The gallery always has a show which focuses on one or two artists in tandem with a group show of a number of the artists we represent. The number of individuals the gallery represents now totals over 30 artists from all African regions.
The work on exhibit is as diverse as the countries from which it originates: contemporary sculpture in stone and wood, oil paintings, pastels, etchings, ink drawings, limited editions prints, collage and installations.
Artists see, foresee, criticize and tell tales about the deepest feelings of their societies. As a gallery, we attempt to use the artist's eye to show us this continent about which we know too little. -- Bill Karg, Director

Some Quotes from The New York Times:
"Contemporary African Art Gallery is a domesticated alternative space. It helps browsers visualize how the pieces will work in their own
homes."
"While innovative sites have helped transform the art scene from Los Angeles to New York, few dealers have done what the Kargs did: create a permanent alternative in their homes."
"Group
Show at the Contemporary African Art Gallery: Modern painting from Africa,
rarely seen in this part of the world, is one of the highlights of 'The Short
Century' at P.S. 1. And anyone interested in sampling more of it should head to
this gallery's group show, which includes several artists also in the larger
show."
