*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Features 30 Black art collectors who collect works in a variety of art
mediums created by Black artists that span more than five decades.
For centuries, Black artists across the African diaspora have been
architects of cultural innovation, resilience, and transformation. Their
art, music, literature, and activism have profoundly shaped the world.
But behind these celebrated figures stands another equally vital force:
the Black collector.
These keepers of history and culture play a crucial
role in preserving artifacts, stories, and legacies that define Black
life.
They safeguard rare books, heirlooms, art, and ephemera that might
otherwise be lost, ensuring future generations can access these
narratives.
Keepers of a Movement honors these individuals whose passion and dedication illuminate our
heritage and identity. Each collection showcases a unique perspective,
offering a deeper understanding of history.
Visitors will also hear from
collectors about their personal connections to the works featured. More
than objects, these collections represent lives, communities, and
movements—ensuring that Black voices are heard, remembered, and
celebrated for many generations to come.
