Vodou Bottles and Other Arts from the
Virgil Young Collection |

We are pleased to be able to offer for sale a selection of vintage vodou flags, bottles and other artifacts from the famed Virgil Young collection. The late Virgil Young was a visionary collector, who collected the art and artifacts of Haitian Vodou at a time when few others were interested. He collected in Haiti, for the most part directly from the Vodou temples, from about 1980 to 1993. At this time, before the international art market had discovered the Vodou flag, and before such celebrated artists as Antoine Oleyant became widely known, it was still possible to obtain antique and vintage flags which were displayed or in use in the temples. Before his death Virgil Young sold a part of his collection to the Fowler Museum of Cultural History at UCLA, and many were included in the ground-breaking exhibition (and accompanying book), The Sacred Arts of Haitian Vodou. The heirs to another part of this collection have asked us to offer these pieces for sale.
