"Power Dressing: Men’s Fashion and Prestige in Africa, "curated by Christa Clarke at the Newark Museum of Art, was a dynamic contribution to understanding how men’s dress relates to concepts of power within Africa’s changing sociocultural and political landscape. Many of the pieces in the show were from the Newark Museum’s own important collection, some of them dating back to the museum’s first African acquisitions in the 1920s.Private and public lenders supplemented the collection. Ann Spencer, former curator of Africa, the Americas, and the Pacific at the Newark Museum for more than twenty-five years, was instrumental in developing the museum’s textile and dress collection.”
