Throughout the Whitney
Join us for an early opening celebration of Amy Sherald: American Sublime with curatorial staff and fellow supporters.
Experience Amy Sherald’s first major museum survey, American Sublime. The show features a broad range of the artist’s work, from her iconic paintings of First Lady Michelle Obama and Breonna Taylor—two of the most recognizable and significant paintings made by an American artist in recent years—alongside poetic, rarely seen early works and a brand new presentation made on the occasion of this exhibition.
During this time, you’ll also get a first look at Collection View: Louise Nevelson, Mary Heilmann: Long Line, and Marina Zurkow: Parting Worlds.
The Whitney’s Collection: Selections from 1900 to 1965 and Christine Sun Kim: All Day All Night will also be on view.
