The N'Namdi Collection is one of the finest private collections of African American art in the world. The combined works cover more than a century of art in every genre and is anchored by contemporary abstract paintings. The collection can be seen as a legacy investment which assists in securing the heritage of African-American artists. It is also a tool for educating audiences on the contributions of people of African descent to the discourse of modern and contemporary art. As the culmination of over 40 years of commitment, entrepreneurship, and discernment, the collection represents the many divergent approaches to making art, and the history, struggles and triumphs of a people.
