Specialist African art translations

Due to our professional English and German descriptions of African art we are able to reach a larger, international market. At the time of writing shikra is the only company in Germany that offers this service in the African art trade.

Working together with our associate company, docuserve, which has been working in the translation sector since 1987, shikra offers expert translations by qualified translators in the field of African art (please refer to "selling your art”).

We translate e. g.:

• Artbooks
• Specialist articles in art magazines
• Descriptions of art objects
• Auction catalogues

In addition, our service includes proof reading of existing texts.

We are currently working on an online German-English dictionary as well as a printed reference book which should make it easier for enthusiasts to access international sources of African art. .
