Breaking the Canon: Collecting African American Art

Mission-driven collector Pamela Joyner is changing the game when it comes to collecting works by African American artists. In honor of her practice and our Fund for African American Art, we celebrate Joyner and her contributions to the field through a series of rapid-fire conversations between curator Rujeko Hockley and artists Simone Leigh, Hugo McCloud, Julie Mehretu, and Jack Whitten. The artists talk about pre-1945 works by African American artists that have influenced their practice today.
