SUMMARY:Isamu Noguchi: “I am not a designer”
DESCRIPTION:Although Isamu Noguchi declared in 1949\, “I am not a designer\,” the internationally acclaimed artist regularly engaged with the space-shaping possibilities of design\, imagining and producing work in architecture\, industrial design\, ceramics\, furniture\, lighting\, stage sets\, and landscape design. In spring 2026\, the High will debut the artist’s first design retrospective in nearly twenty-five years\, featuring nearly two hundred objects\, many never or rarely exhibited\, spanning all facets of his creative output. \nIsamu Noguchi: “I am not a designer” coincides with the fiftieth anniversary of Playscapes\, a bicentennial gift for the city of Atlanta commissioned by the High in collaboration with the City of Atlanta Parks Department and the only one of Noguchi’s playgrounds built in the United States during his lifetime. \nHighlights of the exhibition will include sculptural models of potential and unrealized projects\, such as the recently rediscovered plaster for Play Mountain (1933); tables and stools designed for manufacturers like Herman Miller and Knoll; and a house model Noguchi designed in collaboration with architect Kazumi Adachi. The exhibition will also feature several large-scale installations\, notably the stage set for choreographer Martha Graham’s Seraphic Dialogue (1955)\, one of Noguchi’s innovative pieces of play equipment\, and a commissioned film capturing some of Noguchi’s site-specific plazas and gardens. The diverse\, interactive presentation will explore works that embrace function to understand Noguchi as a multinational\, interdisciplinary artist and designer who shaped a more open\, inclusive world. After Atlanta\, the exhibition will travel to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem\, Massachusetts (September 19\, 2026–January 3\, 2027) and the Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Rochester in Rochester\, New York (February 13–June 6\, 2027).

SUMMARY:The Family Album of Ralph Eugene Meatyard
DESCRIPTION:A largely self-taught photographer\, Ralph Eugene Meatyard (American\, 1925–1972) was a pioneering and inventive artist who created some of the most original images of the mid-twentieth century. His work defies easy categorization as he experimented across various genres and subjects\, and throughout his career\, he maintained the ethos of an amateur\, approaching photography with a sense of affection\, discovery\, and surprise. He is best known for his staged scenes that suggest an absurd fantasy set in the dilapidated houses and banal suburban environs near his home in Lexington\, Kentucky. These scenes\, often featuring his family as actors and using props such as masks and dolls\, reveal Meatyard’s search for inner truths amid the ordinary. \nThis exhibition\, coinciding with the artist’s centenary\, features the thirty-six prints that comprise the artist’s first monograph (Gnomon Press\, 1970)—one of only two books he published in his lifetime—which Meatyard intended to stand as his definitive artistic statement. All thrity-six prints were recently acquired by the High for the Museum’s permanent collection. Through his idiosyncratic selection of images\, this exhibition explores how Meatyard’s singular approach and voracious curiosity expanded photography’s expressive and conceptual potential.

SUMMARY:Viktor&Rolf. Fashion Statements
DESCRIPTION:For more than three decades\, Dutch fashion artists Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren have explored the connections between the worlds of haute couture and art. The self-confessed fashion world outsiders call themselves fashion artists\, blurring the boundaries between clothing and art through their unconventional work. Viktor&Rolf are acclaimed for their masterful technical skill; their surprising\, thought-provoking approach to design; and their deep knowledge of fashion and history. \nThis is the first dedicated exhibition of their work in the United States as well as the first project sponsored by the Lauren Amos Fashion Project at the High Museum of Art. It features more than one hundred of Viktor&Rolf’s most daring and avant-garde works\, alongside videos\, sketches\, dolls\, and photographs that bring their process to life. Their collections often begin with an abstract idea\, and from there\, each step of conceptual and technical development considers the final presentation—the fashion show. Rather than straightforward catwalk presentations\, their shows tend to be true performances in which they act as storytellers\, directors\, and often participants. Thinking outside of the box\, combining unrelated elements\, and pushing the boundaries of the imaginable—together\, this is what makes Viktor&Rolf’s designs so unique.

SUMMARY:Faith Ringgold: Seeing Children
DESCRIPTION:American artist Faith Ringgold (1930-2024) is widely known and celebrated for her paintings and multimedia art\, including narrative quilts. However\, her award-winning accomplishments as a children’s book creator are less well known. This summer\, the High will present the most comprehensive exhibition to date of original paintings and drawings made for more than a dozen of her children’s books\, featuring more than 100 works\, including several that have never previously been exhibited. These include original paintings from “If a Bus Could Talk: The Story of Rosa Parks” (1999)\, “Dinner at Aunt Connie’s House” (1993) and “Tar Beach” (1991)\, in which Cassie\, a Black child in 1930s Harlem\, imagines a future where she can go anywhere that she dreams of from her apartment’s rooftop. Also on view will be complete artwork from the fairy tale “The Invisible Princess” (1999) and “We Came to America” (2016)\, which examines the history of immigration in America. Together\, the artworks in the exhibition illuminate critical aspects of Ringgold’s practice and convey how Ringgold\, a lifelong educator\, presents children as creative\, purposeful art makers. The exhibition is the latest in the High’s popular series celebrating children’s book art and authors.

SUMMARY:Ezrom Legae: Beasts
DESCRIPTION:This is the first major museum exhibition in the United States for celebrated South African artist Ezrom Legae (1938–1999). After apartheid was established\, many artists in South Africa contended with its corresponding oppression and bodily violence by presenting the human figure in animal form or abstracting it. This exhibition focuses on Legae’s own bestial compositions\, featuring more than thirty drawings of contorted and anguished creatures\, each imaginative studies and explorations of form and metaphors articulating the artist’s political consciousness. The exhibition features drawings from 1967 to 1996\, foregrounding the 1970s and 1990s\, each groundbreaking periods in South African political history. Amid mounting unrest and anti-apartheid protests in the 1970s\, such as the Soweto uprisings\, activists and civilians endured increased violence\, exile\, and imprisonment\, often without trial and including solitary confinement. This period is considered Legae’s most prolific\, in which he produced pencil\, ink\, and charcoal depictions of animals as covert representations of apartheid’s players and impact. The artist produced substantially less until the 1990s\, when he reemerged during South Africa’s political transition with drawings addressing the end of apartheid and lingering concerns regarding racism and poverty. Legae’s beasts exemplify the ways artists use coded visual languages to subvert and endure tyranny.

SUMMARY:Photography's New Vision: Experiments in Seeing
DESCRIPTION:Named by the influential German artist and teacher László Moholy-Nagy\, the “New Vision” comprised an expansive variety of photographic exploration that took place in Europe\, America\, and beyond in the 1920s and 1930s. The movement was characterized by its departure from traditional photographic methods. New Vision photographers foregrounded experimental techniques\, including photograms\, photomontages\, and light studies\, and made photographs that favored extreme angles and unusual viewpoints. \nThis exhibition\, uniting more than one hundred works from the High’s robust photography collection\, will trace the impact of the New Vision movement from its origins in the 1920s to today. Photographs from that era by Ilse Bing\, Alexander Rodchenko\, Imogen Cunningham\, and Moholy-Nagy will be complemented by a multitude of works by modern and contemporary artists such as Barbara Kasten\, Jerry Uelsmann\, Hiroshi Sugimoto\, and Abelardo Morell to demonstrate the long-standing impact of the movement on subsequent generations.

SUMMARY:Kim Chong Hak\, Painter of Seoraksan
DESCRIPTION:The High is organizing the first American museum exhibition featuring the work of Kim Chong Hak (born 1937\, Sinuiju\, Korea)\, a master painter from South Korea popularly known as “the painter of Mount Seorak” — the highest peak in the country’s Taebaek mountain range. With more than seventy works\, including new acquisitions from the High’s collection\, the exhibition will span the arc of Kim’s mature career and present an aspect of Korean art in the late twentieth century little known outside of South Korea. \nHaving first worked as an abstract painter in the 1960s\, Kim ultimately rejected the adoption of Western-style abstraction\, which he viewed as a response to national melancholy brought on by previous decades of hardship and deprivation. In the late 1970s\, he settled in Gangwon Province\, eastern South Korea\, home of Mount Seorak. There he sought out an alternative artistic discourse\, moving away from the monochromatic painting popular in Korea at that time toward his unabashedly expressive style. He has since dedicated his life and work to interpreting the environs of Mount Seorak\, developing an artistic and emotional attunement to the natural world during decades of self-imposed isolation in the mountains. \nHis work reasserts the expressive potency of mountain imagery in traditional East Asian art while also demonstrating the influence of international movements of the 1970s and 1980s such as neo-expressionism and other strains of figurative painting. \nThis exhibition will travel nationally after it debuts at the High.

SUMMARY:Ryoji Ikeda: data-verse
DESCRIPTION:Ryoji Ikeda (born 1966\, Gifu\, Japan; active Paris and Kyoto) is one of the world’s leading composers and media artists. In this exhibition\, the High will present the US debut of data-verse\, Ikeda’s trilogy of monumental\, immersive light and sound installations that represents more than two decades of research by the artist and reflects upon the progressive digitalization of an integrated global society. The exhibition will also premiere new work alongside existing works\, including data gram\, a series of eighteen monitors that take apart\, analyze\, and recombine information in data-verse. \nIkeda’s immersive video projections\, which will be presented floor-to-ceiling onto the walls of the museum’s largest exhibition space\, feature visualizations of data extracted from mathematical theories and the study of quantum physics. His more recent work\, including data-verse\, incorporates open-source imagery from institutions such as NASA\, CERN\, and the Human Genome Project. \nIkeda produced data-verse in three “chapters\,” transforming the open-sourced datasets through self-written programs to create the works’ visual output\, which is then synchronized and composed in arrangement with an electronic score. Together\, the music\, video projections\, and the museum’s architecture become a dynamically balanced\, self-contained whole. Ikeda’s work immerses the audience in a seemingly endless flow of data and explores the macroscopic depths of the universe and our relationship to it.

SUMMARY:Thinking Eye\, Seeing Mind: The Medford and Loraine Johnston Collection
DESCRIPTION:In the mid-1970s\, artist and Georgia State University professor Medford Johnston and his wife and collaborator Loraine began collecting works by artists who were in the vanguard of contemporary art in the late 1960s and 1970s. Although they acquired a range of paintings and objects when they first began collecting\, they quickly narrowed their focus to drawings\, primarily by artists working on the frontlines of abstraction in the mid-1960s during a time of great innovation and experimentation. \nToday\, they hold one of the finest collections of postwar American drawings and related objects of its kind\, now numbering more than eighty-five works\, bequeathed to the High. This exhibition—featuring works by artists including Sol LeWitt\, Brice Marden\, Elizabeth Murray\, Martin Puryear\, and Stanley Whitney\, among many others—traces a trajectory of the evolution of American abstraction from 1960 to 1990 and can help visitors understand the various directions in abstraction that artists took during the period\, as well as the motivations and context for their stylistic exploration. Thinking Eye\, Seeing Mind: The Medford and Loraine Johnston Collection demonstrates how establishing the parameters of an art collection requires infinite patience\, focus\, discipline\, and a keen eye.

SUMMARY:Patterns in Abstraction: Black Quilts from the High’s Collection
DESCRIPTION:Over the past six years\, the High has more than quintupled its holdings of quilts made by Black women. This collection-based exhibition will be the first to bring a number of these recent acquisitions together to answer a larger question: “How can quilts made by African American women change how we view the history of abstraction?” \nPatterns in Abstraction will include about a dozen works by well-known Gee’s Bend quilters such as Mary Lee Bendolph\, Louisiana Bendolph\, and Lucy T. Pettway\, along with works by Atlanta-based quilter Marquetta Johnson and early twentieth-century examples by artists once known. The quilts on view are mostly variations on Birds in the Air and Housetop themes\, two centuries-old quilt patterns that are geometric distillations of natural phenomenon and humanmade environments\, while others have deeper meanings as memorials to family members. \nPresented as both objects made for use and with the artistic intent to represent people\, places\, and things abstractly\, these quilts offer a window into how the production of nonacademic artists can transform our understanding of artistic innovation in American art. A corresponding publication through LINK\, the museum’s platform for online engagement\, will offer multimedia and interactive content related to the High’s expanded and growing collection of Black quilts.

SUMMARY:Tyler Mitchell: Idyllic Space
DESCRIPTION:Atlanta native Tyler Mitchell (born 1995) ascended to global prominence when he photographed Beyoncé for the September 2018 issue of Vogue — the first Black artist to shoot the cover in the magazine’s history. This summer\, the High will present a major exhibition featuring his seamless blend of fine art and fashion photography\, along with a new photo-sculptural artwork. In his practice\, he centers Black self-determination and empowerment with affirmative images of people who are often shown enjoying the freedom of leisure\, play\, and recreation. \nThis homecoming exhibition will feature more than thirty photographs considering his examination of themes such as masculinity\, motherhood\, domesticity\, rest\, and the natural world. The playfully theatrical\, expressive works explore style\, beauty\, and identity and delve into the profound themes of family and connection\, capturing not just moments but the essence of relationships\, as they weave a narrative of love\, intimacy\, and shared experiences.

SUMMARY:Dutch Art in a Global Age: Masterpieces from the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition brings together more than sixty paintings—still lifes\, portraits\, seascapes\, landscapes\, architectural views\, and genre scenes— by the period’s leading Dutch artists\, including Rembrandt\, Jacob van Ruisdael\, Frans Hals\, Jan Steen\, Willem Kalf\, and Rachel Ruysch. They are joined by prints\, maps\, and stunning decorative objects in silver\, porcelain\, and more\, from the seventeenth and the first half of the eighteenth centuries. Representing the highest artistic achievement\, these works are considered in the context of global exchange and colonialism. The display explores how Dutch preeminence in international maritime trade and the influx of new goods and information transformed life in the Netherlands and led to a remarkable cultural flowering. The art of this period reflects how the Dutch wished to represent themselves\, their ideals\, and their concerns. Few artists addressed the human toll of colonialism head-on\, but many paintings reveal the influence of international expansion on Dutch art and society. The exhibition addresses these complex histories through up-to-date scholarship\, contextualizing seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Dutch art in a fresh\, compelling way.

SUMMARY:Dutch Art in a Global Age: Masterpieces from the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston
DESCRIPTION:Observers in the seventeenth century described the Netherlands as the world’s marketplace. Dutch merchants possessed a capitalist mindset and benefited from innovations in naval and military technology. The Dutch East India Company\, the world’s first multinational corporation\, was founded in 1602 to dominate trade in the Pacific and Indian Oceans\, forever changing the global economy. New commodities flowed to the Dutch Republic and made a small nation immensely rich. This in turn fueled an artistic boom. The most famous Dutch artists in the seventeenth century—Hals\, Rembrandt\, Ruisdael\, Ruysch—are still admired today. \nThis exhibition explores how international travel and trade transformed Dutch art and society. Still life paintings feature imported products; seascapes\, landscapes\, and maps reveal where these products came from. A section including cityscapes and maps addresses Amsterdam’s rise as Europe’s commercial hub. The focus then turns to Dutch portraits\, both painted and printed. Local landscapes show how exposure to the world’s wonders paradoxically reinforced pride in Dutch topography. The exhibition concludes with beautiful objects in silver and ceramic and depictions of daily life\, demonstrating the coexistence of the familiar and the foreign. Throughout\, this exhibition emphasizes artistic achievement while encouraging visitors to consider the human costs of global commerce.

SUMMARY:Truth Told Slant: Contemporary Photography
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition will feature the work of Rose Marie Cromwell\, Jill Frank\, Tommy Kha\, Zora J Murff\, and Kristine Potter\, five photographers who take unique approaches to documentary photography that challenge the principles of observing the contemporary world. \nThe more than seventy-five works in the exhibition\, including several from the High’s collection\, exemplify a recent shift in how photographers have taken up the challenge of making meaningful images from the world around them in a lyrical way\, rather than utilizing the traditional approach of a dispassionate observer. These artists consider issues that documentary photographers have grappled with for decades and that remain pertinent to contemporary American life: race and inequality; identity and sexual orientation; immigration and globalization; youth and coming of age; climate change and environmental justice; and the uncanny pervasiveness of violence. \nThere are overlaps and intersections of these topics within each body of work as the artists address the pulse of the moment while self-consciously skirting the direct and detached methods of traditional documentary photography.
