“An informed and persuasive how-to guide to collecting in general and more specifically to collecting African American art on paper and canvas. The fascinating and fertile diversity of the many examples illustrated, ranging in date from the mid 19th century to the present, colorfully proclaim the visual rewards that await those that follow the author’s wise counsel”.
Elisabeth Garrett,
Senior Vice President, Christie's
"Collecting African American Art: Works on Paper and Canvas is the most comprehensive publication to date to inform collectors of the tradition, history and cultural context in which art by African American artists is found. It will, no doubt, become the standard by which other such books on the subject will be modeled in the future. It is a necessary index for scholars of American art and museum directors in general”
David Driskell,
"Rarely can the subject of one book serve so many purposes so well. It is a primer for an aspiring collector, case study and guide for those who wish to expand, insure and protect their investment in a collection. With two hundred beautiful four color illustrations you get everything you need to know to become an informed collector”

"Splendid complement to the important surveys of African American art. Ms. Taha provides collectors with direct, concise information on the names and places and more importantly, on how to protect the investment one makes in art by taking proper care of the works.”
