The South Africa-born artist, who was a key figure during the British black art movement of the 1980s, told the Guardian that under-pressure organisations approached him to buy work that they had ignored since it was made decades earlier.
He said: "Institutions would come to me and say: 'Do you have a work from the 1970s we can buy?' When I was making those works in the 1970s, nobody wanted to look at them."
During the Black Lives Matter movement, most of the UK's prominent arts institutions released statements pledging to address racial bias and diversify senior leadership teams. Since 2020 there has been a dramatic rise in the number of exhibitions featuring black artists.
