Review of the 2019 Paris Parcours des Mondes Tribal & Asian Art Fair (Part 1 of 2)

Another great Parcours has wrapped up and that means my annual review.  Since I was unable to attend this year, I'm grateful to Anita Schroeder and Patrick Morgan for taking photos and doing field so I can share them with you.  Thus my commentary will be limited but is gleaned from conversations and dealer interviews.   Their were many thematic exhibitions, dealer book releases and 6 exciting lectures hosted by the organization.  The names I'm told who had exceptional pieces and exhibits include:  Bernard Dulon, Dalton Domare, Michael Hamson, Lance Entwistle, Charles Hourde' to name a few.  
Enjoy.

???  This Dutch dealer alledgedly stole a Parcours Banner for their gallery, but it didn't go unnoticed.  Its widely thought that all of their pieces were reproductions.  They even had a five volume book set for sale too...  Nonparticipating dealers are called "pirates".

(Bernard Dulon)​  Nothing was apparently for sale in his exhibit!
Interesting strategy and maybe effective if you're trying to entice the most powerful collectors into a private bidding war?
