COMMUNITY Arts & Music In 2016, the records of art collector and dealer Jimmy Hedges and his Rising Fawn Folk Art Gallery were donated to the Smithsonian Archives of American including materials documenting Hedges’s interactions with Purvis Young. A 2018 addition to the papers consists of two linear feet of materials relating to Purvis Young, including photographs, biographical material, correspondence, notes, business records, and printed material. In 2018, during the Art Basel / Miami Art week, Purvis Young was not only presented at the Japour Family Collection, but an entire floor of the Rubell Collection was dedicated to his works. Two Purvis Young works appear on the 2018 David Byrne album, “American Utopia.” Suzanne Khalil, curator of EXOR Galleries in Boca Raton, described him as an “urban storyteller,” who created “raw” work. Morehouse president Robert Michael Franklin, described Purvis’ work, “… Purvis Young has used his art as social commentary and a catalyst for justice.” For more informationwww.wikipedia.org and credits www.venicemagftl.com/art-soul by Venice September 1, 2014.
