"Há muito tempo que o culto aos gêmeos Ibejis ultrapassou os limites sagrados dos terreiros, invadiu as cidades, entrou nas casas dos pobres e dos ricos, dos crentes e não-crentes. O "caruru de São Cosme e São Damião" tornou-se uma instituição sagrada e festejada por todo o povo brasileiro. As comemorações para os "santos meninos" na Bahia, e principalmente no seu Recôncavo, assumem proporções e peculiaridades próprias, muitas vezes incompreensíveis para os leigos. Unidos pela tradição popular, o culto aos Ibejis e a São Cosme e São Damião vem se tornando um dos mais espetaculares exemplos dessa simbiose africano-brasileira."-- Page 4 of cover.

Die Yoruba in Nigeria betrachten die Geburt von Zwillingen als einen besonderen Segen. Wegen der hohen Sterblichkeitsrate sind Yoruba-Mütter aber häufig mit dem Tod eines Kindes konfrontiert. Die Yoruba glauben, dass die Zwillinge gemeinsam nur eine einzige Seele haben. Beim Ableben eines Zwillings wäre der überlebende Zwilling lebensunfähig. Die angefertigte Ibeji-Statue für den verstorbenen Zwillingsteil kann somit die andere halbe Seele enthalten. Darüber hinaus ist die Linie zwischen Leben und Tod für die Yoruba nicht absolut. Es gibt für sie ein enges Wechselspiel zwischen der spirituellen und der materiellen Welt. Der Zwillingskult zählt zu den ältesten Kulten der Menschheit. The Yoruba people of Nigeria consider the birth of twins a special blessing. Due to the high mortality rate of twins, Yoruba mothers are often confronted with a childs death. The twins are believed to share only one soul. When a twin dies, the surviving twin would be unable to live. The Ibeji sculpture for the deceased twin can thus contain the other half of the soul. Yorubas do not draw a strict line between life and death. To them there is a close interaction between the spiritual and the material world. The Twin Cult is one of the oldest known cults of mankind.

"Majestic and beautiful looking twins, natives of Ishokun, Let me find means of eating, let me find means of drinking. Majestic and beautiful looking twins, come and give me the blessing of a child." According to Yoruba legend, the ibeji--united and inseparable twins--were sent into the world by monkeys, whose knowledge of nature's secrets surpasses that of men. Regarded as sacred, they are venerated in a cult based on statuettes, the ere ibeji, which are commissioned from master sculptors by the families of the deceased twins. The eighty works from Benin and Nigeria presented in this book reflect the incredible stylistic diversity and beauty of these silent symbols of an age-old tradition--an eloquent expression of the creative potential of African art.

This book presents a detailed account of authenticity in the visual arts from the Paleolithic to the postmodern. The restoration of works of art can alter the perception of authenticity and may result in the creation of fakes and forgeries. These interactions set the stage for the subject of this book, which initially examines the conservation perspective, then continues with a detailed discussion of notions of authenticity and philosophical background. There is a disputed territory between those who view the present-day cult of authenticity as fundamentally flawed and those who have analyzed its impact upon different cultural milieus, operating across performative, contested, and fragmented ground. The book discusses several case studies where the ideas of conceptual authenticity, aesthetic authenticity, and material authenticity can be incorporated into an informative discourse about art from the ancient to the contemporary, illuminating concerns relating to restoration and art forgery.
