  • High Museum of Art
    About the High Museum of Art The High Museum of Art is the leading art museum in the Southeastern United States. Located in Atlanta’s Midtown arts and business district, the High has more than 14,000 works of art in its permanent collection. The Museum has an extensive anthology of 19th- and 20th-century American and decorative art; significant holdings of European paintings; a growing collection of African American art; and burgeoning collections of modern and contemporary art, folk art, photography, and African art. The High is also dedicated to supporting and collecting works by Southern artists, and in 1996 the Museum launched its “Picturing the South” program to commission emerging and established photographers to create new work inspired by the Southern landscape. Established in 1905 as the Atlanta Art Association, the Museum’s first permanent home came in 1926, with the donation by Mrs. Joseph M. High of her family’s residence on Peachtree Street. In 1955, the Museum moved to a new brick structure adjacent to the old High house. After 122 Georgia art patrons died in a plane crash on a Museum-sponsored European tour in 1962, the Atlanta Arts Alliance was founded in their memory, and the Atlanta Memorial Arts Center opened in 1968—constructed around the existing Museum. In 1979, Coca-Cola magnate Robert W. Woodruff offered a $7.5 million challenge grant to build a new facility; Museum officials matched and exceeded the grant, generating a total of $20 million. The High Museum of Art’s building designed by noted architect Richard Meier opened to worldwide acclaim in 1983, and it has received many design awards, including a 1991 citation from the American Institute of Architects as one of the “ten best works of American architecture of the 1980s.” Meier’s 135,000-square-foot facility, now known as the Stent Family Wing, tripled the Museum’s space, enabling the institution to mount more comprehensive displays of its collections.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CIVIL RIGHTS PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION AT HIGH MUSEUM OF ART TO COMMEMORATE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF 1968 Featuring iconic historical images and contemporary works honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the civil rights movement ATLANTA, Sept. 18, 2017 – Taking its title from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s final speech before his assassination in 1968, the High Museum of Art’s photography exhibition “‘A Fire That No Water Could Put Out’: Civil Rights Photography” (Nov. 4, 2017, through May 27, 2018) will reflect on the 50th anniversary of that tumultuous year in American history. The more than 40 prints to be featured are drawn in large part from the Museum’s collection of photography documenting the civil rights movement, which is among the most significant in the world. Iconic historical images will be presented alongside works by contemporary photographers that illuminate the legacy of the movement. “While Dr. King’s assassination is often cited as the closing bookend of the civil rights movement, activism over the past 50 years has continued efforts to advance racial equality and justice in the United States,” said Erin Nelson, the High’s curatorial assistant for photography and curator of the exhibition. “Through some of the most powerful images from our civil rights collection, including recent acquisitions, this exhibition underscores photography’s pivotal role in chronicling the important moments that shaped our past and the current events and perspectives that will influence our future.” Presented in the High’s Lucinda Weil Bunnen Gallery for Photography, the exhibition will be arranged into three sections that explore the era of Dr.
