- Doctor Black works at the Musée d’Orsay giving tours of the Musée's collection of Vincent van Gogh paintings. (TV: Vincent and the Doctor)
- Black is aware of the short-lived "Dada-esque exhibit" briefly exposed at the Denise René Gallery: a blue police phone box. He restates the male and female art lovers' judgement that "had no ‘public call’ to be in the gallery, the art lay in the fact that it was there", adding "until it wasn't". (TV: City of Death)
- Infra-red analysis of the Mona Lisa in the Louvre uncovered the fact that "THIS IS FAKE" was written in Sharpie underneath the paint. (TV: City of Death)
