While the appreciation of art can be subjective, typically numbers don\u2019t lie. When patrons love an artist, they show it with their wallets. So, this year the folks at Black Art in America decided to poll several galleries for their top selling artists. The results vary from some artists new to the black-owned gallery scene to those artists who have been showing for decades. Understanding which artists are hot right now is good for both buyers and sellers. This list can give you a good idea about which new artists you should snatch up while you can. And it can indicate which artists it\u2019s a good time to sell. Some of the artists on this list are no longer with us, but their art is living on and patrons are steadily collecting their work. While this list is by no means exhaustive, as there are only five galleries polled, it does give you an idea that anyone can be a top-selling artist, new or experienced, young or mature.<\/span><\/p>\nStella Jones Art Gallery<\/strong>, located in New Orleans, Louisiana, is committed to providing collectors with art of the highest aesthetic quality and raising the aspirations of the youth through visual arts. The gallery was a dream inspired by Dr. Samella Lewis, and in 1996 it was realized. The gallery has been located in the same downtown location for 20 years.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
