Join us for a tour of Amy Sherald: American Sublime, the artist’s first major career survey and solo exhibition at a New York museum.

The exhibition features Amy Sherald’s poetic early figurative paintings and new work alongside iconic portraits of First Lady Michelle Obama and Breonna Taylor. The powerful impact of her paintings on contemporary art and culture positions her squarely within the art historical tradition of American realism and figuration.

These after-hours tours offer a fifty-minute overview of select works with the Museum’s Joan Tisch Teaching Fellows and educators. Following the tour, we invite you to enjoy a light reception alongside fellow members. There are multiple date and time options for this event.
