Amy Sherald: Four Ways of Being

A newly commissioned work by Amy Sherald (b. 1973, Columbus, Georgia; lives and works in the New York City area) is featured on the building facade on Horatio Street across from the Whitney and the High Line.

Four Ways of Being brings together four portraits by the artist—some never before seen in New York—and explores the intersection of past, present, and future. Each painting captures a distinct way of existing in the world. Here, she reimagines her subjects from diverse backgrounds and generations coexisting in a shared moment, inviting the viewer to contemplate the fluidity of time and the complex ways our histories shape our understanding of ourselves.

This installation is presented in conjunction with Amy Sherald: American Sublime.

Amy Sherald: Four Ways of Being is organized by Rujeko Hockley, Arnhold Associate Curator, with David Lisbon, Curatorial Assistant.
