Your Sunday Instruction: Collecting African-American Art at the National Gallery of Art
With all of the great African and African-American art DC has seen in recent months (30 Americans, Sandile Zulu & Henrique Oliveira, NEXT Generation), no better time to learn something about collecting it! Two collecting discussions conveniently ocurring during Black History Month, including one today:
The Collecting of African American Art VII: David C. Driskell, artist, collector, and emeritus professor of art history, University of Maryland at College Park; in conversation with Ruth Fine, consulting curator of special projects in modern art, National Gallery of Art.
