A long term program of inventory reduction by a longtime collector and dealer in

some of the best examples of African items with values across the board at Sunset
Auction's April 21 sale scheduled for the Miami Elk's Lodge on Sunset Dr. There will

Auction owner Bryan Kinsley held the first auction at Sunset in January 2003. Since
then the auction house has offered twelve to eighteen general sales each year
including a monthly antiques and collectibles sale as well as onsite estate sales
and business liquidations. This will be among Sunset's first tightly focused
specialty sales and it is expected to attract local and international individual
bidders as well as African culture museums and art dealers but Kinsley states there
will be something for every interested collector. The inventory will consist of 225
- 250 pieces ranging from Antique and Museum Grade artifacts to very high quality
Contemporary works. It will feature art from Mali, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Ivory
Coast, Ghana, Burkina Fasso, Nigeria, Cameroon, Congo and more.

Included in the inventory will be statues, carvings, mask, furniture, lamps, musical
instruments, Zimbabwe stone statues, mud cloth wall hangings, doors, bronze, pottery
and a hut post and ladder among others garnered from all over Africa, including
items from the Yoruba, Baule, Bobo, Mossi and Ashanti tribes.

The Elk's Lodge facility, located at 10301 Sunset Dr, Miami, has seating for around
200 but there will be no advance reservations for seats. There will be food
available freshly prepared by the Elk's Club and a full bar will be offered.

Kinsley will be accepting absentee bids prior to the opening of bidding at 12:00PM
on April 21 and the auction will be carried live online in its entirety by Proxibid
