ATLANTA, Ga. (ATL Live) – A major Amy Sherald exhibition is coming to Atlanta this spring as the High Museum of Art hosts the final stop of the national tour for Amy Sherald: American Sublime. The retrospective brings together more than 35 paintings created from 2007 to 2024, including some of Sherald’s most widely recognized portraits along with lesser-seen works spanning her career.
Angelica Arbelaez, assistant curator of modern and contemporary art at the High Museum of Art, talked with ATL Live host Ava Braatz about what visitors can expect, why the show’s Atlanta ties matter for the Georgia-born artist, and the timed-ticket details for planning a visit.
Sherald was born in Columbus, Georgia, trained as a painter in Atlanta, and graduated from Clark Atlanta University. The High has previously showcased Sherald’s work through major presentations, including The Obama Portraits Tour in 2022.
