The Black Market by Charles Moore6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In search for information on Black collectors collecting Black art, Moore developed The Black Market to give a glimpse into the ever-evolving art world. ![]() Unlike other art introduction books, he tailors his writing towards the Black collecting experience, highlighting prominent Black artists, Black art professionals and museums located in areas with a large Black population. In Charles Moore’s latest book, The Black Market: A Guide to Art Collecting, Moore deconstructs the mystique of the Black art market in a condensed manner that introduces the basics of the art world. So I was like, where is the book about the Black collectors who are collecting the work of Black artists?- Charles Moore I read all these books on art collecting, and they were wonderful books, but they were written by white males or females, talking about white collectors who collected white art. ![]()

Exclamation mark by amy krouse rosenthal6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() In short, this is a story of discovering your own, unique abilities, loving yourself for them, and being loved for them. ![]() He goes to show off himself to the periods, who love him as well for what he can do. The question mark badgers exclamation mark, and exclamation mark tells him to STOP! Question mark likes exclamation marks emphasis and exclamation mark begins to experiment with what he can do. Then he meets another outsider: the question mark. He tries to fit in, but he just can't, and that upsets him. It is a story of a punctuation mark who feels like an outsider in a world of periods. The story itself is a good story to be telling children. I think it might go over the heads of the young children who will be reading it, but it certainly made this English major/grammar fiend giggle, and I think that it will please parents too. ![]()
