African Bead Art: Power and Adornment is the story of art spurred by commerce and trade. Due to the lack of Indigenous glass-making among African societies, the importation of glass beads from Europe and other areas had a galvanizing effect on the arts of sub-Saharan Africa.

John Pemberton III, the Museum’s curatorial consultant for African art and the guest curator of the exhibition, authored this catalog.
