A beautiful late summer night was the backdrop for ‘Art on the Move,’ an exhibition by Pamela Eatman, owner of Blackbird Gallery in Detroit. The event was hosted at the home of Linda Crane Boyd and the Honorable William Stewart Boyd on Friday in Chicago.
Featured were the works of abstract artists Reggie Singleton, Dawn Stringer, Eugene Seaborn, and Geno Harris, who also curated the exhibition. Eatman also showcased a variety of works, including from France based artist Frank Schroeder and Netherlands born Andra Natascha Daans. Eatman, originally from Chicago, opened her Blackbird Gallery in Detroit’s historic Fisher Building over Juneteenth weekend this yearwith an exciting global roster of artists. Her long held vision is to showcase the work and contributions of Black artists without limits to geography, style, genre or medium. She is looking at opening a second location in the city.

This fall, Christie’s presents Post-War to Present: a live auction which inaugurates the Fall season in New York, presenting a retrospective of top-quality works from today’s leading artistic voices and the most celebrated creative icons of the Post-War period. The auction will take place live at Rockefeller Center beginning at 10am on Thursday, September 29, 2022.
The sale includes an array of contemporary artworks that showcase the finest work from established and emerging artists, while raising funds for a rare and currently untreatable disease, and simultaneously challenging accepted notions of the auction world as a secondary marketplace. Among the highlights are a groundbreaking group of six artworks in collaboration with Myrtis Bedolla, Time, Space, Existence: Afro-Futurist Visions from Galerie Myrtis. Each of the six artists—Delita Martin, Larry Cook, M. Scott Johnson, Monica Ikegwu, Morel Doucet, and Tawny Chatmon— asserts agency over narratives of Black life, offering discourse into the socio-political concerns of African Americans, and paying tribute to the resiliency, creativity, and spirituality that have historically sustained Black people. Hand-chosen by gallerist Bedolla, the selection of work stands in conversation with corresponding exhibition The Afro-Futurist Manifesto: Blackness Reimagined, currently on view at the Venice Biennale through November 27, 2022.
