Amy Sherald Comes Home: “American Sublime” Opens at the High Museum

The High Museum of Art in Atlanta opens "Amy Sherald: American Sublime" on May 15, a mid-career retrospective featuring over 35 paintings from 2007 to 2024. The exhibition was originally scheduled to conclude at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., but Sherald canceled that stop after a Trump administration executive order directed Smithsonian institutions to remove so-called "un-American content." The High Museum secured the final slot after the Baltimore Museum of Art, following months of coordination with SFMOMA, Sherald's studio, and Hauser & Wirth. The show includes Sherald's portrait of Breonna Taylor and her iconic Michelle Obama portrait, organized into five thematic sections.

Métamorphosé, le M24-Musée du Sport Automobile ouvre ses portes à quelques semaines de la compétition

The M24, formerly the Musée des 24 Heures du Mans, has reopened as a transformed 8,600-square-meter museum dedicated to motorsport history. Featuring legendary race cars like the Tracta Gephi (1928) and the Porsche 917 LH (1971), the museum includes human-scale dioramas, historical walks, and artistic homages with abstract murals reminiscent of Pierre Soulages. The renovation was led by local architect Frédéric Audevard, who redesigned the original 1960s building and added a new extension with subtle references to car aerodynamics. The immersive scenography was created by Raphaël Daguet of The Immersers, aiming to evoke emotional and historical capsules around racing culture. The museum opened just weeks before the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, scheduled for June 10–14, 2026.

À la Biennale de Venise, le pavillon de l’Ouzbékistan fait revivre la mer d’Aral

The Uzbekistan Pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale, curated around the figure of author Allayar Darmenov, brings together artists including Vyacheslav Akhunov, Zi Kakhramonova, A. A. Murakami, Zulfiya Spowart, and Nguyen Phuong Linh to explore the ecological disaster of the Aral Sea. Once the world's fourth-largest lake, it was drained by Soviet irrigation projects for cotton farming; the pavilion's installations—such as Kakhramonova's participatory salt-fish molding piece and Spowart's cradle-like sculpture—imaginatively revive the vanished sea and its endemic species.

The Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) has opened "Guests of Honor: Art of Faith from the Jewish Museum, New York," a display of 13 masterworks of ceremonial Judaica on loan from the Jewish Museum in New York.

The exhibition, curated by Alan Darr and Katherine Kasdorf, runs through January 3 and includes objects dating from the 1400s to the 1800s.
