Why this piece stands out
Arman owned one of the world’s largest private collections of African art. This powerful lithograph showcases his iconic accumulation technique — a striking cluster of Songye Kifwebe masks from the Congo. These emblematic African tribal masks are instantly recognizable for their bold striations, color variations, half-closed globular eyes, and rectangular mouths.

Kifwebe masks belong to the Songye people of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Traditionally worn by dancers for boys’ initiation rites and funerals, they were managed by a powerful secret society. Adorned with polychrome decoration, these works of art from Central Africa combine cultural richness with Arman’s modern vision.

Ideal for collectors of:
– African tribal art and masks
– Songye Kifwebe or Congolese art
– Arman collections and New Realism prints
– Signed lithographs inspired by traditional African objects
