Walking Tour: Amy Sherald: American Sublime at the Whitney

Amy Sherald: American Sublime (running April 9, 2025 through August 10, 2025) is the first major museum survey of this NYC-based artist's work and is also her first solo exhibition at a New York museum. The exhibit contains approximately fifty of Sherald's paintings, including her iconic portraits of Michelle Obama and Breonna Taylor. These along with both her earlier lesser known works and newly created paintings of everyday and famous Black Americans focus intentionally on a population that has been omitted historically from portraiture and representation.
