LISTEN! 'Young, Gifted and Black' editor and co-curator Antwaun Sargent speaks with Alison Stewart of WNYC's 'All of It,' discussing the new book and traveling exhibition based on the Lumpkin-Boccuzzi Family Collection of Contemporary Art.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Sargent discusses working with mission-driven collector Bernard Lumpkin, "collecting community," and the importance of showing up and supporting both institutions and young artists of color.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ He calls the ethos of the collection "highly optimistic," and cites its roots in history, starting with artists like Kerry James Marshall, Henry Taylor, Lorna Simpson, Glenn Ligon and others. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Sargent says 'Young, Gifted and Black' points to a path that is rich, that we often don't acknowledge. "These are very young artists who have full careers ahead of them." ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Hear the entire conversation, including discussion of the various writers and artists involved in the book, institutional responsibility, preservation of neglected works, current events, and much more, via linkinbio.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ @younggiftedblackart @sirsargent @allofitwnyc @iamalisonstewart @grahamboettcher @teacherbell @conniehchoi @grahamrecently @loh33 @jamillahjames @thomaslax #HallieRingle #AdezeWilford @gordonwilkins @complicatedobjects @bernardlumpkin @thelmagolden #younggiftedandblack #bernardlumpkin #lumpkinboccuzzicollection⁠⠀⁠⠀ ⁠@vajiajia @hannahgottliebgraham @wnyc @allofitwnyc⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CE66e24JdFW/?igshid=tb354ijbxgoc

We highly recommend this wonderful @artnet interview with Bernard Lumpkin, the visionary collector behind 'Young, Gifted and Black: A New Generation of Artists,' releasing this week from D.A.P. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ @mariarosevogel writes, "For many collectors, art-buying is an activity carried out in private. For Bernard Lumpkin, to collect in private would be to defeat the purpose.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The former MTV executive has spent the past decade building one of the most vibrant private collections of work by Black artists. His holdings—which include examples by established artists such as Kara Walker, Kerry James Marshall, and Henry Taylor as well as up-and-coming young talents—are on view at his Manhattan apartment, which he opens up frequently to visitors, as well as at his husband’s law firm offices.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Now, highlights of the family’s holdings will gain an even bigger audience thanks to @younggiftedblackart a traveling exhibition and publication of artwork from the collection, curated by @sirsargent and @complicatedobjects The show is due to reopen at the @lc_art_gallery in the Bronx on 9/24 before traveling Texas, Pennsylvania, and California.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The collection, developed in partnership with (and financial support from) Lumpkin’s husband, lawyer Carmine Boccuzzi, aims to offer a model for how art can be acquired in ways that benefit the artists just as much as the collector. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ To read the full interview, click on linkinbio!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Artworks here: ⁠⠀ Cy Gavin, Underneath the George Washington Bridge (2016)⁠⠀ @kara_walker_official Untitled (1995)⁠⠀ @dangelolovellwilliams The Lovers (2017)⁠⠀ @derrickadamsny The Great Wall (2009)⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Please order from your local independent #bookstorehero — many are reopening or offering curbside pickup!
