Our vision is clear: to honor the artists who have shaped history and to spotlight the new voices who will define tomorrow. Every work we offer carries the weight of legacy and the spark of innovation, inviting collectors to see Black art as both cultural treasure and economic power.
More than an auction house, Noir Arthouse is an educational and cultural hub. Through artist interviews, and thought-provoking discourse, we empower seasoned collectors and first-time buyers alike to understand the significance, and the value of building a collection rooted in Black artistry.
Our curated auctions bring together world-class works across painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media. Each piece is rigorously vetted, ensuring authenticity, value, and artistic excellence.
Launching in 2026, our The Noir Circle™ will unlock intimate access: private gallery tours, VIP cultural experiences, and direct engagement with leading artists, curators, and tastemakers.
Noir Arthouse is more than a platform. It is a movement; together we are reshaping how Black art is seen, collected, and valued across the world. We welcome you to join us in building this legacy.
Where Art Meets Legacy & Investment
At Noir Arthouse, part of The Black Art & Cultural Project, our Auction House stands as the definitive marketplace for acquiring, collecting, and investing in the masterpieces of the Black diaspora.
We present curated auctions that honor the breadth of Black artistry from the indelible impact of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Alma Thomas, and Romare Bearden to the contemporary brilliance of Amy Sherald, Nathaniel Mary Quin, and Ted Ellis. Every lot is selected by our guest curators with the highest standard and creativity, ensuring both cultural resonance and legacy.
What distinguishes our house is our unwavering commitment to transparency, authenticity, and education. Each work is accompanied by expert appraisal, provenance verification, and scholarly commentary, empowering every participant, whether a first-time buyer or a seasoned collector, to bid with confidence and clarity.
Here, art is not only a matter of aesthetic expression, it is a vessel of history, a symbol of cultural continuity, and a pathway to generational wealth. By acquiring through Noir Arthouse, you join a community that values both the cultural and financial legacy of Black art.
Step into the Auction House. Shape your collection. Invest in a legacy that endures.
The Art of Collecting
Discover What Speaks to You
Our auctions are more than marketplaces—they are curated journeys through the brilliance of Black artistry. Explore works that move you, stir memory, and bring joy into your daily life.
Collect with Purpose
Each piece carries a story of resilience, innovation, and heritage. Collecting is not just about ownership; it is about preserving culture, honoring legacy, and becoming part of a larger continuum of Black creativity.
Live with the Art
Art is meant to be experienced. Whether displayed in your home, your gallery, or your institution, these works enrich the spaces you inhabit and the lives of those around you. They are daily reminders of the power of beauty, history, and vision
Invest in Culture, Invest in Legacy
To collect Black art is to invest in more than objects it is to invest in a narrative that shapes our present and defines our future. While each acquisition carries the potential for long-term value, its true worth lies in the cultural wealth it preserves and passes forward.
Curatorial Vision
Our lead curators—Richard Beavers Gallery and Tanya Weddemire Gallery—bring a combined legacy of bold curatorial innovation, deep ties to Black cultural discourse, and a track record of elevating underrepresented voices in the art world.
Richard Beavers Gallery
Based in Brooklyn, is celebrated for staging exhibitions that provoke thought, foreground Black joy, and expand the canon. From group shows such as “Black Joy Is a Revolutionary Act” to solo presentations of rising talents, the gallery’s curatorial edge reveals new narratives within the Black diaspora.
Tanya Weddemire Gallery
Brings a complementary perspective rooted in intentional representation, community collaboration, and a commitment to artists whose work engages with identity, spirituality, and cultural resilience.
Together, their inaugural curatorial program ensures that this auction and collection is not only rigorously selected but infused with narrative, context, and cultural integrity. You won’t simply acquire an artwork—you inherit its story. Each lot is presented with thoughtful commentary, critical framing, and proven provenance, so you collect not just with your eye, but with your purpose.
