Black art is more popular than ever, and we now have a new art auction house, Black Art Auction, showcasing some of the best African American artists in the nation that is slated to raise the hammer on May 16, 2020.
The art market may be down, but Black art is certainly selling. Plus, with the current financial situation that is overtaking the global financial landscape, an art auction is a great way to liquidate work by Black artists in your collection and put cash back in your bank account.
Black Art Auction is a unique auction house that focuses on the African American art market. Their current catalog is incredibly diverse and still growing. Expect work by John Biggers, Ed Clark, Charles McGee, Hilda Wilkinson Brown and more. While they offer quite a lot, consignment opportunities are still available.
Not only is this the right time for people who need to liquidate their art, it’s also a great time to add the masters to your art collection. Building an art collection is up to the discretion to the collector, but it is a great idea to diversify your collection. We currently see so many young promising Black artists doing well, but it’s really the invaluable classics from those who came before them that not only inspired their work, but also opened doors to get into galleries and museums, as well as educational doors that may not before had been open. Here are some of our favorites:
