On March 22, 2025, I published an article entitled "Beauford Is Front and Center in Paris Noir" to present the epic exhibition that features the work of 150+ African and Afro-descendent artists who lived in Paris between 1950 and 2000.

In what feels like the blink of an eye, Paris Noir is coming to an end.
Monday, June 30 is the last day that you will be able to see this show.
The French press was clearly enamored of Beauford's œuvre - I found his name (often accompanied by an image of one of his works or a photograph of him and James Baldwin) in more than 15 online articles about the exhibition.
His Portrait of a Young Man (1965), which hangs in Room 15 of the show, made the cover of Beaux Arts magazine.

The exhibition has been enormously popular. Le Figaro reported that roughly 3,500 people attended the opening event, and according to Le Point, nearly 200,000 people had visited the show by May 21, 2025 (for an average of 3,746 visitors a day).
