African American Art Dealers Respond to Recent NY Times Article:<\/h2>\n

Why have There Been No Great Black Art Dealers?<\/em><\/h3>\n

In this installment of BAIA Talks<\/em>, Najee Dorsey calls 5 established African American Art Dealers to converse about the recent NY Times Article, “Why have There Been No Great Black Art Dealers?”, and to shed light on this very important topic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis article is missing a lot of history. How do you have this conversation without acknowledging June Kelly, Nnamdi gallery, Essie Green, Kenkelabah gallery and others. For me its interesting that the existing gallery operating in NYC in your article is Jack Shainman Gallery, please. Its paid propaganda at best or editorial neglect to say the least. Also to say we have no great black galleries you must first define what makes a gallery great. If I allow YOU to determine greatness among galleries than you also determine greatness for the artists \u2026 meaning only the artists you represent are great. (Mr Charlie\u2019s ice is always colder). Let\u2019s not have the conversation about how art at its highest \u201cfinancial\u201d level is more about the transfer of wealth than it has to do with art. Remember spices were once traded for gold and diamonds. #understandGAME\u201d \u2013 Najee Dorsey<\/p>\n
