African-American Fine Art Auction at Swann Galleries

2/16/2012

_Today is the Swann Galleries auction of African-American fine art. The auction includes an impressive showing of many amazing art works by African American artists. Initially, I thought about what I'd bid on given a $100K budget, but my budget would've been practically blown after bidding on one of my favorite pieces. So as I work to develop my multimillionaire mindset, I chose works based on an unlimited budget. Here are my choices:
