It’s only early March, but the High Museum of Art has already set the stage for some incredible programming and opportunities for art lovers in the city. From new exhibits to installations and special events, there is something for everyone at the High. Let’s get into it.
The season kicks off with Monir Farmanfarmaian: A Mirror Garden which is currently on view through April 9. This showcase is the first posthumous exhibition at an American museum for one of Iran’s most celebrated visual artists, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian (1922-2019). She is known the world over for her geometric mirror sculptures that evoke Persian architectural motifs and patterns in postwar abstraction. This show was inspired by the High’s 2019 acquisition of the cut-mirror sculpture “Untitled (Muqarnas)” (2012) and the 2014 drawing “Untitled (Circles and Squares).” The exhibition features sculptures, drawings, textiles, and collages from four decades of Farmanfarmaian’s work.
Another current exhibition is Joseph Stella: Visionary Nature with works by Italian-born American modernist Joseph Stella (1877–1946). Commonly known for his dynamic Futurist-inspired paintings of New York as well as depictions of the natural world, more than 100 of Stella’s paintings and works on paper will be on display at the High Museum through May 21. The exhibit also includes a graphic timeline of Stella’s career and a short film. Read More..
