Described as an ‘activist collector’ by ArtReview magazine for promoting and collecting the work of contemporary African-American artists, as well as artists of African descent in Brazil and the UK, Pamela Joyner reflects deeply on the role of the patron, how to measure her impact on behalf of artists and the challenge of being a Black woman in the predominantly white art and finance worlds. I always find her focus and a calm to be formidable - in a freindly way.
