Peggy Cooper Cafritz the vast collector of African and African American Art and founder of the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington D.C. mansion was burned down along with the most impressive collection of Black Art assemble in the world. Ms. Cafritz relishes the chance to collect up and coming Black Art and show the world that this appreciation was worthy of collecting. Recently, Ms. Cafritz has shown her collection to the readers of O Magazine. Along with a well written article stating her purpose for collecting Black Art and the numerous organizations she's help promote. The article in the Washington Post stated," that Ms. Cafritz would start over and collect what she loves". What a brave and fascinating woman. I can't wait to see what her eye catches along the very long path towards great art collecting.
