Patric McCoy on Collecting Black Diaspora Art | Private Gallery Tour (Part 1)

In this in-depth conversation, Patric McCoy offers a guided look inside his private art collection and reflects on what it means to collect work from the Black diaspora with care, responsibility, and long-term vision. McCoy, co-founder of Diasporal Rhythms, discusses his journey into collecting, beginning with his first purchase in 1968, the moments that shaped his approach, and how collectors influence cultural and historical value. The conversation moves between questions of taste, access, elitism, and the lived relationship between art, music, and everyday space. 0:00 Introduction 0:26 Becoming an Activist Art Collector 1:01 First Purchase – 1968 3:01 When Did You Become a Collector? 4:48 The Eureka Moment 5:24 Music vs Visual Arts Culture 7:04 Elitism in Visual Arts 8:57 Collectors Give Art Value 10:32 Original vs Copy 12:07 Cultural Value vs Monetary Value 15:08 Art in Living Spaces 17:41 Erotic Images in the Collection 18:10 How Visitors Respond 20:19 Pornographic vs Sensual Part one of this three-part series focuses on collecting as practice rather than possession, examining how art functions inside domestic environments and how viewers respond to challenging, intimate, and erotic imagery.
