This book is the accompanying catalogue to an exhibition of the same name, which has been created in close collaboration with Māori groups and individuals and marks the beginning of a revitalised connection between them and the carvings currently looked after in Munich’s Museum Fünf Kontinente.The catalogue offers a unique perspective on traditional Māori knowledge, shared through collaboration with descendants of the artists and representatives of the source communities. Showcasing around 80 masterfully crafted carvings, the catalogue offers a compelling view into the artistic excellence and cultural significance of Māori wood art.Little is known about how the Māori carvings now looked after in Munich’s Museum Fünf Kontinente came to Munich. Many were acquired by German collectors in London between 1824 and the First World War, and their exact origin in New Zealand is often unknown. Drawing on material examination of the woods involved, together with stylistic analysis of the carvings, and research into relevant pictorial and written sources, the book traces the story of these artworks and, informed by the in-depth knowledge of Māori specialists, provides insights into aspects of the Māori worldview and philosophy behind them. One chapter highlights the iwi Rongowhakaata and the pou Tāwhaki – a long-lost post-figure from that group’s meeting house rediscovered in the Munich museum.Many carvings are considered by the Māori to be as living and connected to the ancestors – all the more desirable, then, to connect them with the descendants of their original makers or owners. Searching for clues to the provenance of the collection of Munich’s Museum Fünf Kontinente reveals old and new relationships.

A South Seas dream and dangerous Other - the Marquesas Islands in the Pacific Ocean captivated such figures as Paul Gauguin and Herman Melville. Tikimania embarks on a unique journey to unravel the fascination, presenting the Tiki works of the Junge Wilde painter Bernd Zimmer alongside the Indigenous Marquesan art from the collection of the Museum Fünf Kontinente in Munich. An entirely new interplay of European art and Oceanic culture arises through the contrasts and harmonies as a result. In addition the catalogue traces European images of these islands, accompanies Karl von den Steinen on an ethnological expedition, and invites the reader to revive Tiki pop culture in America.Text in German.Published to accompany an exhibition at Museum Fünf Kontinente, Munich (DE) from 10 July 2020 to 28 February 2021.
