    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.

    ARCHIVES ALIVE! An Introduction to Primary Sources: Art in the Archives TARGET GRADE RANGE: 6-12 OVERVIEW By looking closely at artworks from the City of Savannah Municipal Archives’ collections, students will learn the basic tools for analyzing artistic images using description and reflection in order to improve visual literacy, as well as to identify the strengths and weaknesses of using art as a historical tool. Students will create a brief story, journal entry, or art piece reflecting on the subjects of the images. What is a Primary Source? A primary source is a first-hand, original account or record about a person, place, object, or an event. Oral histories, objects, photographs, and documents such as newspapers, census records, diaries, and journals are primary sources. Secondary sources are accounts, records, or evidence derived from original or primary sources. Textbooks are secondary sources. Objectives: After completing this learning activity, students will be able to: Describe the subjects of artworks and place them in a historical context Understand the components of an in-depth visual analysis Time Required: 1 hour Topic/s: Social Studies, Art, Creative Writing Standards: VA6.RE.1 VA7.RE.1 VA8.RE.1 Reflect on the context of personal works of art in relation to community, culture, and the world. a. Identify how the issues of time, place, and culture are reflected in selected works of art. b. Interpret works or art considering themes, ideas, moods, and/or intentions. c. Define where and how we encounter images in our daily lives and how images influence our view of the world.

Marking the High’s first presentation of fashion design, “Iris van Herpen: Transforming Fashion” features one-of-a-kind haute couture—acclaimed for its combination of traditional craftsmanship and futuristic, innovative techniques—and includes some of the world’s first examples of 3D-printed fashion. The exhibition is co-organized with the Groninger Museum (the Netherlands) and debuts at the High, where it will be on view from Nov. 7, 2015, through May 15, 2016, before continuing on a North American tour. “Iris van Herpen’s work is an incredible fusion of artistic expression, craftsmanship and creativity,” said Sarah Schleuning, curator of decorative arts and design at the High. “The marriage of traditional, handcrafted designs and 21st-century technology makes her work innovative, dynamic and a signifier of a bold, new future for fashion design. With this presentation, the High continues to champion the outstanding visionaries who design the world around us.” Iris van Herpen has garnered international acclaim for her couture designs, which interweave traditional handwork with groundbreaking 3D-printing technology, computer modeling and engraving constructed in collaboration Iris van Herpen (Dutch, born with architects, engineers and digital design specialists.

    Civil Rights Photography Exhibition at High Museum of Art to Commemorate 50Th Anniversary of 1968

    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.

    Press Release

    J A C K S O N F I N E A R T ATLANTA Jackson Fine Art Media contact: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE [email protected] BRUCE DAVIDSON In Color & The Brooklyn Gang Friday, May 15 — Saturday, August 1, 2015 Opening Reception Friday, May 15th, 6-8 pm Artist Talk Saturday, May 16th at 11 am My way of working is to enter an unknown world, explore it over a period of time, and learn from it. -Bruce Davidson Jackson Fine Art is pleased to start off the summer with two exhibitions by Bruce Davidson, one of the most celebrated and influential photographers of the 20th century. Since Henri Cartier- Bresson invited him to join the Magnum Photos agency in 1958, Davidson has established a reputation for his ability to engage his subjects, often concentrating on people on the outskirts or those explicitly concerned with redefining boundaries. On Friday, May 15th, from 6-8pm, Bruce joins us in opening a selection of work from 1959’s The Brooklyn Gang, as well as an exhibition of his highly anticipated color work, which spans over fifty years. On Saturday, May 16th, at 11am, Davidson gives an artist talk at the gallery; space is limited. In 1959, Bruce Davidson read about the teenage gangs of New York City. When a social worker facilitated his introduction to Brooklyn gang The Jokers, he began to document their daily lives. Davidson was just 25 when he began to photograph The Jokers, and could have easily been mistaken for one of them. This blurring of the distinction between photographer and subjects allowed for an intimate and dynamic series; we see the gang in times of post-war rebellion and iconic cool, but Davidson also captures the haunting restlessness and tragedy that marked many of their lives.
