Our journey began in 1995, nestled within the thriving heart of the African art scene. United by a deep appreciation for its rich history and profound impact, we set out to bridge the gap between collectors and the captivating world of African art. We started as Patrons, and that’s what we’ll always be at heart – forever committed to empowering collectors and propelling African art to its rightful place on the global stage.

2017 marked a turning point, a metamorphosis. Fueled by a relentless belief in the future of African creativity, we evolved into Patrons Modern & Contemporary African Art. This wasn’t just a change of name, it was a powerful declaration. We embraced the dynamism of contemporary artistic expression, while still holding dear the timeless beauty of tradition.

Today, we stand as a pillar within the art industry, a catalyst for artistic growth, and a trusted advisor for both seasoned collectors and those embarking on their artistic adventures. We navigate the complex African art value chain, ensuring our clients make informed decisions and discover the perfect piece to enrich their lives and collections.
