Today Pearl Lam’s credentials in the art world are unquestionable, but behind the bright purple hair and iconic sense of style, is a woman who is so multi-faceted, that to label Pearl Lam only as a gallerist and collector seems to do her a huge disservice.

Much has been written about Lam but one little known fact is that she shares a love for African tribal art – born from her experiences in the continent. In her trips to Ghana, Nigeria, and Senegal, she immersed herself in the rich tapestry of tribal culture and artworks.
