Last weekend was GIANT for the art law team at Carrington, Coleman, Sloman & Blumenthal, LLP! It has been an incredible experience working with The Dean Collection on the touring exhibition of "GIANTS: Art from The Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys" these past few months. The opening at High Museum of Art last weekend was a giant success, and there is so much love and support in Atlanta for this exhibition. GIANTS will be on view at High Museum of Art until January 19, 2025. The exhibition (curated by Brooklyn Museum) brings together a collection of works owned by The Dean Collection to support Black diasporic artists, and aims to make Black artists and creatives more accessible to everyone. There are many people behind this exhibition who are working together from all sides to ensure the mission behind GIANTS is a success. It has been a pleasure working with the teams at The Dean Collection (including the amazing Donna Webster), Brooklyn Museum, The Fine Art Group (Anita Heriot, Shane David Hall, and Luke Jacobs), Gonsowski Law, PC (Tara L. Gonsowski, Esq. and Andrea Seikaly), and High Museum of Art. And I owe a GIANT thank you to Julie Judson with AB Bernstein for her unwavering support of my art law practice and friendship. If you're in Atlanta, don't miss GIANTS!
