Nigeria's Rise to International Art Capital
Nigeria has always had cultural swagger, and now it's being recognized as a major player in the global art scene.
The recent opening of "Nigerian Modernism" at Tate Modern in London has been a significant event, with Funmi Fetto noting that it "momentarily readjusted London's cultural temperature".
The promise of something larger was in the air.
The exhibition, which explores the evolution of 20th-century Nigerian art, has become one of the season's must-see shows, attracting collectors, curators, gallerists, and musicians.
