Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys

The coffee table book "Giants: Art from the Dean Collection of Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys" is the first book to feature selections from the groundbreaking Dean Collection. The art book celebrates selections from the world-class collection of musical and cultural icons Swizz Beatz (Kasseem Dean) and Alicia Keys."We want people to see themselves... We want you to see the giants on whose shoulders we stand." - Alicia Keys.

Giants illustrates 100 works by nearly 40 multigenerational Black American, African and African diaspora artists from the Dean Collection, which the Brooklyn Museum selected and curated for a major exhibition of the same name.

The book also includes an exclusive conversation between curator Kimberli Gant and Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys, as well as interviews with ten legendary artists: Derrick Adams; Kwame Brathwaite's son, Kwame Samori Brathwaite; Jordan Casteel; Nick Cave; Titus Kaphar; Ebony G. Patterson; Jamel Shabazz; Amy Sherald; Mickalene Thomas; and Kehinde Wiley.

Both the book and the exhibition bring together these "giants" of the art world to embody and emphasize the Deans' collecting philosophy: "by the artist, for the artist, with the people.
