Grammy-winning artists Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys are taking their impressive art collection on a global tour.

The exhibition, titled “GIANTS: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys,” made its debut at the Brooklyn Museum earlier this year and is now set to continue its journey.

The next stop for this remarkable collection will be the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, where it will be on display from September 13, 2024, through January 19, 2025. This exhibition showcases the couple’s commitment to championing the work of Black artists.

Featuring approximately 115 objects, including 98 major artworks, the Dean Collection boasts pieces by renowned artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Arthur Jafa, and Kehinde Wiley. Notably, it also includes the largest private collection of Gordon Parks’ works.

The couple expressed their enthusiasm for the tour, stating:

“Our mission has always been about making art accessible to everyone and showcasing these GIANT artists. We realized quickly that meant this collection had to travel to communities across the country and the world. We are so pleased that Atlanta and the High Museum of Art is the first stop on the GIANT tour.”

For Swizz Beatz, whose real name is Kasseem Dean, the Atlanta showing holds personal significance:

“ATL is an important part of my story since I went to Stone Mountain High, Redan High and Open Campus. I started DJing parties as a kid at Atrium and Club Flavors too! So, bringing Giants to the High is an Art homecoming for me!”

The exhibition is organized into themed sections, each highlighting different aspects of the collection and its cultural importance. These include “On the Shoulders of Giants,” showcasing influential artists, and “Giant Conversations,” which explores Black social issues.

As ARTnews Top 200 Collectors, Keys and Dean have been passionate about supporting Black creatives. Keys previously shared their motivation:

“There are far too many artists of all kinds—musicians, painters, sculptors, dancers—who have unfortunately contributed so much to the culture and have died with nothing. As artists [ourselves], we care about living artists and the just due that we receive.”

This traveling exhibition represents a significant step in their mission to bring greater recognition and accessibility to the works of Black artists on a global scale.
