Sharon and Sam Singer are Californian Tribal-Art collectors, focusing on the Pacific, Himalayas and Indonesia.

They were the 2019 Bourgogne Tribal Show honorary presidents.

In May 2019, some of their words were noted down by Christina Helmich – Curator in Charge of the AOA department at the deYoung Museum – and became the subject of a series of posts entitled “The Singers”. Here is a selection of them.

The Bourgogne Tribal Show is the first international art fair to be held in the countryside. In an idyllic environment and a relaxed atmosphere conducive to discovery, the Bourgogne Tribal Show offers its public a resolutely different experience.

If tribal art remains at the heart of the fair, the Bourgogne Tribal Show is, more than ever, open to other artistic fields: contemporary and modern arts, Chinese, Indian and Japanese classical arts, classical and Egyptian antiques, Baroque and medieval European sculpture.

The Bourgogne Tribal Show invites visitors to discover the diverse array of actors and trades involved in the tribal arts. Specialists, from pedestal makers to professional restorers to insurers will present the varied aspects of their works.

Along with julien Guillot – a supporter of the Bourgogne Tribal Show from the outset – our winemakers take visitors through a journey of gastronomical discovery with their exceptional wines produced with care and expertise, using methods respectful of both tradition and the environment.

The Bourgogne Tribal Show is hosted in Besanceuil, just a few kilometers from Cluny, on the private estate of contemporary art dealer Bruno Mory. The farm buildings – dating from the 15th and 18th centuries –, the contemporary sculpture park and view form the Clunisois hilltops provide the most remarkable surroundings for visitors.

As every year, Cluny Abbey hosts a tribal-art exhibition in its farinier. Most artworks are loaned by the Bourgogne Tribal Show’s participants. This year’s exhibition is curated by contemporary artist Coco Fronsac, who chose to explore the theme of IDOLS.
