Kansas City, MO – According to Adele Hall, a personal favorite is a work she and her husband, Donald Hall, affectionately call "The King." She says, "You see the tilt of his head and the chin coming out, the strength of the pose. He is saying, 'I am king! My household is protected and this place will stay safe.'"
The seven works of African art from the Hall's collection will be on view in the exhibition Magnificent Gifts for the 75th, February 13, 2010 - April 4, 2010.
