The former Group Chief Executive Officer Access Bank Plc, Dr. Herbert Wigwe, who died alongside his wife, Doreen, and son, Chizi on February 9 this year in a helicopter accident in the United States of America is being honoured at the ongoing Art X Lagos.
Founder ART X, Lagos, Tokini Peterside-Schwebig, said the fair dedicated a stand “to pay tribute to the late Wigwe, who was a pivotal supporter of this year’s fair, and who, as we all know, passed away tragically earlier this year.”
She noted that the art fair, which opened last Thursday at the Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, has as theme Promised Lands “that resonates deeply with our collective journey—reflecting on where we are and envisioning where we aspire to be.
“It was crucial for us to create a platform that not only anchors the African art movement but also drives meaningful conversations about the social, political, and cultural landscapes of our continent. We remain dedicated to creating an absolutely cannot-miss experience for our artists, cultural partners, gallerists, collectors, and visitors from Africa, and around the world.
“With a diverse selection of curated galleries, thought-provoking exhibitions, and special projects, dynamic live performances, and insightful discussions, the fair continues to push boundaries and foster cross-cultural dialogue,” she added.
