Swizz Beatz, who served on the museum’s board from 2015 until October of the previous year, has been a passionate art collector since the ’90s. The couple’s extensive collection features rare pieces, including the 2018 Derrick Adams painting titled “Floater 74,” which will be part of the exhibition.
Kimberli Gant, a curator of modern and contemporary art involved in organizing the installment, highlighted the Deans’ significant brand recognition. She emphasized that while many are familiar with them, not everyone knows about their role as collectors.
Swizz Beatz shared insights into their collection, revealing a commitment to acquiring works from African-American artists, even when there wasn’t a widespread market for it. “The reason why we doubled down on African American art is because people weren’t collecting it. Things flow a little better now,” he explained.
Art enthusiasts and the general public are eagerly anticipating the exhibition, which promises to offer a captivating glimpse into the artistic world curated by Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys. Tickets for “GIANTS: Art from the Dean Collection” are already available for those eager to witness this remarkable showcase.
