Fresh out of the hospital, Mom Verneida pitched Ernest to accept a 1979 drawing by her favorite artist, Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson (1940-2015), a MacArthur "genius award" recipient. He had a better idea, "Let's plan a trip to see more!" ACA Galleries sells her work, and last week, the Columbus Museum of Art opened an exhibition of Aminah's narrative works (then Covid-19 closed it). The show's Easter Egg Hunt is a similar layout to Verneida's drawing of a Senegalese marketplace, and that makes Aminah Robinson our collector's tip of the week.Are you an artist?
