As part of the process of making Abraham---L'ami de Dieu, Adéagbo commissions works from artists in Benin. This installation includes paintings by Esprit (Eli Adanhoumè); wood carvings by Hugues Hountondji and Eduard Kinigbe; and lettering on glass by Boniface. Hountondji was in charge of creating the new sculptures added to this Philadelphia version of the piece, among which is the model of the Liberty Bell and a carving based on the thirteenth-century tomb relief Recumbent Knight in the Museum's collection, which Adéagbo saw reproduced in the Philadelphia Museum of Art Handbook of the Collections. Of the forty paintings produced by Esprit, ten are based on photographs taken in Philadelphia or on publications Adéagbo gathered in the city, including several illustrations from the Museum's catalogue of the exhibition Tesoros/Treasures/Tesouros.
