Recently Swann Auction Galleries announced the news that on September 15 we will be offering The Art Collection of Maya Angelouat auction. The collection features more than 50 works from Dr. Angelou's private collection, many of which have never been publicly exhibited.
The works vary in medium and genre—from paintings, drawings and sculpture to photographs and collages—and reflect Dr. Angelou's multifaceted interest and involvement in the arts. Many of the pieces are significant artworks by African-American masters, including Romare Bearden, John Biggers, Elizabeth Catlett, Melvin Edwards, Jonathan Green and Faith Ringgold.
