Georges Adéagbo (born 1942) is a Beninese sculptor known for his work with found objects. A native of Cotonou, Adéagbo studied law in Abidjan before moving to France to continue his studies. He returned to Benin in 1971 upon the death of his father, and began creating installations and environments in isolation from family and society. By the early 1990s, he had begun to receive recognition, culminating in the reception of the Prize of Honor at the Venice Biennale in 1999. Adéagbo gathers the material for his art wherever he travels.

rdfs:comment	Georges Adéagbo (* 1942 in Cotonou, Dahomey, der heutigen Republik Benin) ist ein beninischer Installationskünstler. Nach dem Jurastudium in Abidjan (Elfenbeinküste) und Rouen kehrte er 1968 nach Benin zurück. Die von ihm erwartete Rolle des Familienoberhauptes nach dem Tod seines Vaters lehnte er ab. Er wurde von seinen eigenen Geschwistern marginalisiert und mehrmals von ihnen wegen Erbschaftsstreitigkeiten in eine psychiatrische Klinik eingewiesen. Aus Einsamkeit begann er mit gefundenen und erworbenen Objekten Geschichten zu erzählen, ohne sich jedoch als Künstler zu betrachten. In der Zeit bis 1993 entstanden in seinem Haus zahlreiche Installationen, auf die ein französischer Kurator durch Zufall aufmerksam wurde.
