I am so excited about seeing "Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys" exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum (through July 7)!

▪︎Reposted from @vanityfair Presenting our spring digital cover stars, @Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz (@therealswizzz).

With their envy-inducing holdings, @theDeanCollection, the music-industry power couple have helped lead the way for a generation of collectors of Black art. The rest of the world is finally catching up.

"A lot of people used to make fun of me collecting art," Swizz tells VF. "I won't say no names, but they're the biggest names."

At the link in bio, the duo speaks to VF about their collection's first major museum exhibition, creating a network of Black artists, and dancing the art world's political tango.

Andrew Gray X Swizz Beats X The Dean Collection. . Band of Vices is honored to announce two new acquisitions by @TheRealSwizzz on behalf of his @TheDeanCollection, an initiative that supports ‘artists and cultural visionaries around the globe.’ . These works represent a shift in scope, as Andrew searches to challenge ‘the common narrative. This new series of works portray contemporary Americans of African descent reaping the benefits of our memorable ancestor's fight for freedom and against societal stigmas. Our visibility in art is not limited to the common narrative of poverty, inner-city living, or other social stigmas. We exist and excel in all realms of education, wealth, business, and entertainment. Using thick mosaic-like shapes to form the figures I accentuate our variety of tones while maintaining a mundane narrative of wealth, success, happiness, and freedom.’ . A Blue November, 2020, acrylic on canvas, 40 x 40 x 1.75 in. Pearl, 2021, acrylic & glitter on canvas, 72 x 60 in. . Andrew is currently preparing for his first solo exhibition with Band of Vices for Spring 2022. For a list of available works, please email us at HELLO@BandofVices.com. . #AndrewGrayArt #BandofVices #TheDeanCollection #SwizzBeatz (at Band of Vices) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSAfVhGJi2Z/?utm_medium=tumblr

🙏🏾 I want a perfect ending. Now I've learned the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme & some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle & end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, take the moment & making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next! #painting titled: #crucifixion Don’t Quit! @theroncook @butterfli3ffect #artlife #artist #artwork #artgallery #artlover #streetart #painting #modernart #contemporaryart #artcollector #thedeancollection

Recieved an email today regarding my art work and 1 hour later she purchased these 4 pieces of art from our website KHA-Tees.com. The second day of Ramadhan and blessings upon blessings have been coming my way. This is one material blessing I've recieved and I thank G-d for his grace and thank mrs Broom for her investment into my art career. Have faith, do good work and be patient. It will all make since. #MadeinNYC #ArtGallery #art #blackcreatives #ArtGallery #thedeancollection #khatees #artist #buyart #muslimartist #muslim #ramadhanblessings #dopeart (at New York, New York)

Swizz Beatz | 2006 | New York, NY | Hassleblad 6x6 | Fuji NPH 400 120 | for Remix Magazine. Bone Thugs were there making new heat (not a huge fan of them) that was fire. It never came out.

Images 1- 2 and caption reposted from @brooklynmuseum:

As musical artists and cultural icons in their own right, Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys share a philosophy when it comes to their personal art collection: “artists supporting artists.” This approach has led the Deans to bring together a group of multigenerational, Black diasporic giants of the art world. In this exhibition, see the work of over 100 of these giants, including Gordon Parks, Kehinde Wiley (@kehindewiley), Hassan Hajjaj (@hassanhajjaj_larache), Barkley L. Hendricks, Lorna Simpson (@lornasimpson), and Amy Sherald (@asherald).
