I wanted to ad this piece of information I found in the Berlin Museum of Ethnology:
I am always interested in reports on how EARLY the production of tourist carvings began, and how much Oceanic art from the post-contact period was already affected by Western demand, proving that the claim of "authenticity" is somewhat relative in many cases. |
