A Gallery Helped African American Artists In The 1990s – But Perhaps It Also Ripped Them Off

The George N’Namdi galleries were sometimes the only game in the country for Black artists in the 1980s. According to a recent lawsuit, “Discrimination in the art world prevented the recognition that these artists deserved until the last several years.” But the lawsuit also alleges that “the N’Namdis took advantage of this situation by egregiously and systematically breaching their fiduciary obligations to [the plaintiff] and others.” – The New York Times
