Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz Snap Up Work From In-Demand Artist
- Tschabalala Self’s prices have risen along with her aclaim
- Beatz says they plan to donate one painting to Brooklyn Museum
Music power couple Alicia Keys and Kasseem Dean, known as Swizz Beatz, bought paintings by emerging artist Tschabalala Self, whose prices have risen along with her critical acclaim.
Two of the works -- “Blonde” and “Father” -- will be included in the 29-year-old artist’s solo exhibition opening Saturday at Art OMI, a sculpture park in Ghent, New York. A photograph of Dean and Keys standing in front of the paintings was posted on Dean’s Instagram page last month.
