Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys have announced they will be displaying some of their art collection at a special exhibition in Brooklyn. “Been holding this incredible news close to the chest,” the couple wrote in their caption. “Now, it’s our pleasure to officially announce GIANTS: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys opening on February 10 @brooklynmuseum! Tickets to #GiantsBkM available now!!!!!! A MUST SEE SHOW. Link in bio
Let’s get 2024 started!!
A BIG special thank you to all the GIANTS in the show!!! @TheDeanCollection,” the couple wrote on Instagram.
Swizz has been collecting art since the 1990s and served on the board of directors for the Brooklyn Museum, where the collection is being exhibited, between 2015 and 2023. A majority of the paintings on display will be from Black artists. “The reason why we doubled down on African American art is because people weren’t collecting it. Things flow a little better now,” Swizz told the New York Times for a piece about the exhibit. However, the curator of the museum’s modern and contemporary art noted that Swizz and Keys were forgotten figures in the art collecting world.
