BLACK ART AUCTION is excited to introduce Chenoa Baker, our new Consulting Head of Narrative Projects!

Ms. Baker will be regularly contributing focus essays and content about the artists and their work seen here on    

BLACKARTAUCTION.com.

This will include lots offered in the auction venue, private sale items and the subjects of special exhibitions presented at BAA.

We are pleased to continue our commitment to raise awareness of the amazing work produced by these artists and offer insight into their lives and histories. Chenoa’s discerning eye and ability to communicate sometimes complex issues in a way that is understandable and enriching adds to the experience of discovering the art and artists.
