Welcome to the FEMI AKINSANYA ART COLLECTION (“FAAC”) online, which presents images and related collection data and other information on many objects in the collection. FAAC is eclectic, yet evolving, but clearly Afrocentric.

Accordingly, the FEMI AKINSANYA ART COLLECTION comprises both Modern & Contemporary Art as well as Traditional African Art, currently, of mostly Nigerian origin. This FAAC resource will further efforts by the collector to ultimately make his entire art collection accessible to the public and succeeds the earlier created Femi Akinsanya African Art Collection website launched in 2012 to introduce artworks featured in the book, Making History: African Collectors and the Canon of African Art, The Femi Akinsanya African Art Collection by Sylvester Okwunodu Ogbechie, 5 Continents Editions, Milan, 2011.

FAAC currently numbers over 1000 artworks, both modern & contemporary, as well as traditional. You can explore the collection and find more detailed information about specific objects by accessing their individual records.

The collection, concentrating on quality, not quantity of works, will continue to grow, and we will continually work towards ensuring accuracy and regular update of information presented about each object. We will also appreciate your help in enriching this resource and FAAC, by contributing additional information or knowledge, regarding any of the objects you see. If your contribution is of a general nature you may do so here, or if specific to an object, by visiting the gallery.
