City College’s latest attraction is the “Mother of Art” exhibit at the Kondos Gallery. On campus, students are invited to view art collected by art professor Anne Gregory and her husband, Paul Maher.
In the exhibit running from Feb. 28 to March 21, art enthusiasts can expose themselves to different African culture like carvings from Tanzania to a ceremonial spoon from the Dan Culture of Liberia.
The couple has been collecting African art for more than 15 years and decided to share their collection with friends, faculty members and students.
Christina Gardner, 21, art major, enjoyed seeing the exhibit on campus.
“I really like the cloth,” says Gardner.” It’s different and interesting.”
Gregory and Maher focus on African art that is not known to most Americans. To them, there is a difference between the way westernized minds see art and the way African tribes perceive it. Through this exhibit, they hope to share that mindset with our campus.
“My husband dreamed of Africa as a little boy,” says Gregory.” As an artist, I looked at it as beautiful and exciting, but that’s not exactly the way to look at it. All of these things have a communal or spiritual purpose. They don’t look at art in the same way that we do.”

Maher says his dream was to collect art.
“[Collecting is] an ongoing thing, they accumulate,” says Maher. “These carvings are from Europe and left Africa with the colonials, even though some of these carvings still go on today.”
Nikki Pahl, 63, a friend of the couple, is an art lover. She came to see the art first-hand.
“This is first class,” says Nikki Pahl. “I can’t believe it’s here at this college. I hope everyone comes to see it.”
Through this exhibit, students can expand their minds into another part of our world while being right here on campus.
