The other side of color

African American art in the collection of Camille O. and William H. Cosby jr. Hardbound, 214 p. 33,5 x 26,5 cm. Author: David C. Driskell Text: English, 2001

For 25 years Bill and Camille Cosby have collected more than 300 African American paintings, prints, sculptures and drawings, based on their personal tastes rather than on investment value. Their introduction to The Other Side of Color elaborate on their strong belief that African American families should themselves seek to preserve their cultural histiory and not rely on the mainstream and provide interesting background about how they began their collection and what owning the art has meant to them.
