Collecting African American Art: Works on Paper and Canvas effectively dispels this misconception. In these pages, lavishly illustrated with almost two hundred works by a wide range of artists, readers will find practical guidelines for becoming an informed collector, including specific criteria for working with dealers. By providing succinct advice on framing, insurance, and tax and estate planning, as well as pointers on how to care for one's collection, author Halima Taha makes collecting an enjoyable - and affordable - pastime for everyone."--BOOK JACKET.
