CBS News Sunday Morning anchor Jane Pauley previews major museum exhibitions opening in summer 2025. The article highlights Amy Sherald's mid-career survey "American Sublime" at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, featuring her iconic portrait of Michelle Obama and exploring her signature grisaille technique and confident Black subjects. Other featured shows include "Van Gogh: The Roulin Family Portraits" at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; "Monet's Floating Worlds at Giverny" at the Portland Art Museum; "KAWS: FAMILY" at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville; and "Jeffrey Gibson: the space in which to place me" at The Broad in Los Angeles.
The article matters because it provides a curated guide to geographically diverse, high-profile exhibitions spanning impressionist masterpieces and contemporary art, making it useful for art travelers and enthusiasts planning summer visits. It also underscores the continued institutional embrace of artists of color—Sherald and Gibson—alongside canonical European painters, reflecting ongoing shifts in museum programming toward broader representation.
