An ancient Papua wooden substitute headhunters's head
Located in Amsterdam, NL
Papua New Guinea, 18th-19th century
L. 22.5 x W. 18 cm (approx.)
Provenance:
Collected by Schulze-Westrum
Collection Rinck Hollnberger, Munich (purchased in the 1980s or 1990s)
For a comparable skull see the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
The heads of humans and of animals such as crocodiles and pigs formerly played integral roles in the ceremonial life of Papuan Gulf peoples, who considered the heads to be vessels of life-giving supernatural power. Within men’s ceremonial houses, human skulls were displayed, together with sacred images such as spirit boards or gope, by the members of each clan in a specially constructed clan shrine. However, not all heads required the death of an enemy. In some areas, heads made from wood or other materials appear to have had powers equal to actual ones. In contrast to skulls, the facial features of wood heads were sometimes depicted as they appeared in life.
This example comes from the Wapo Creek area, where wood heads appear to have been used interchangeably with actual skulls. When headhunting was abolished by Australian colonial...

Mixed Medium and Chalk Painting, Little Man Series
By (after) Jackson Pollock
Located in New York City, NY
Part of the Little Man Series by Steven Colucci - Mixed media / Acrylic and chalk.
Steven Colucci was born to an Italian family in the South Bronx, near Yankee Stadium. His father owned and operated the dry cleaning service used by New York Giants. Colucci remembers sharing dinners with legendary athletes like Tucker Frederickson, Rosey Grier, Jim Brown and Frank Gifford. At 12 years old, he was diagnosed with severe dyslexia and forced to enroll at New York University Reading Institute, a small-private school in the East Village. During his years at NYU Reading Institute, he was encouraged to express himself through painting; he became particularly in representing movements through paint and carefully studied the works of John Marin, Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning.
After finishing the program at NYU Reading Institute, Colucci returned to William Taft high school in the Bronx, and remained focused on painting and won a scholarship to the School of Visual Arts. After graduating with the B.A. in painting, he moved to Paris to continue his studies in art and movement. It was in Paris that he began to study pantomime and ballet under the tutelage of world-famous movement artist Etienne Decroux. Decroux worked with him honing his talent, until he was discovered by Marcel Marceau in the late 70s. Marceau had few protégés, and Colucci quickly became one of them. For the next decade under Marceau’s instruction, he developed his own artistic voice and style.
In the 1980s, he moved back to New York where he developed a dance and mime program, which offered one-on-one workshops with the world-renowned dancers and musicians like Martin VanHamel, Kevin McKenzie, Dennis Koster, Gerald Busby and more. He brought his workshop to numerous colleges across the United States including Bard College, nationally recognized for its prestigious arts program and the Philadelphia Art Museum. Ronal Wilford, President of Columbia Artists Management, recognized Colucci’s work as high art.
Between 1980s and 1990s he was asked to collaborate with various dancers and artists including Alvin Ailey, Melba Moore, Royal Ballet of Flanders, Julio Iglesias...
