Summary:
Dimensions of Power is a major reinstallation of African art at the Snite Museum. After acquiring its first African objects in the early 1960s, long-time curator Douglas Bradley (1949-2013) oversaw the collection's growth through a steady stream of donations and purchases. In due course the Snite Museum acquired over a thousand African objects, and in the process developed the leading collection of Central African art in the United States. from the Introduction.
