Below is a list of current and upcoming exhibitions as of Sept. 24, 2025.

Upcoming Exhibitions

“Viktor&Rolf. Fashion Statements”
Oct. 10, 2025-Feb. 8, 2026

For more than three decades, Dutch fashion artists Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren have explored the boundaries between haute couture and art with breathtaking virtuosity. The self-confessed fashion world outsiders have garnered critical acclaim for their unconventional designs that reveal technical prowess and a deep knowledge of fashion and history, and their creations have been embraced by artists including Cardi B, Lady Gaga, Madonna and Tilda Swinton. This fall, the High will be the exclusive U.S. venue to present this exhibition, the first major retrospective of their work, organized by curator Thierry-Maxime Loriot and the Kunsthalle Munich in Germany, where it debuted in February 2024. The exhibition will feature more than 100 of Viktor&Rolf’s most daring and avant-garde works, designed for the runway and beyond, that reflect the duo’s passions, obsessions and singular vision. Included are garments from more than 30 of their collections as well as selections of their “works-in-progress dolls,” inspired by antique porcelain dolls and dressed in miniature versions of the designers’ handmade creations. The works are accompanied by elaborate animated projections designed for the exhibition by the internationally acclaimed visual effects studio Rodeo FX. This exhibition is organized by Kunsthalle Munich and curated by Thierry-Maxime Loriot in collaboration with Maison Viktor&Rolf.

“The Lost World: The Art of Minnie Evans”
Nov. 14, 2025-April 19, 2026

Acclaimed American artist Minnie Evans (1892-1987) once described her drawings, filled with human, botanical and animal forms, as coming from “the lost world,” referring to “the nations destroyed before the Flood.” After her grandmother died in 1934 and the visions she had been experiencing since childhood became stronger, Evans went on to produce a large and celebrated body of work and in 1975 became one of the first Black artists to have a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Though she was lauded in her lifetime, she has not been the subject of a major exhibition since the 1990s. Inspired by its growing collection of her work, the High is organizing this nationally touring retrospective that brings together more than 100 of Evans’ fantastical drawings and puts them in the larger context of her extraordinary life. Presented chronologically beginning with Evans’ spare, line-driven compositions of the 1930s through to her colorful, complex compositions and lush, utopian mandalas of the 1960s, the exhibition, and its catalogue, will explore how Evans fits into expanded canons of Surrealism, how she was impacted by major historical events, and how the way she spent her days — first as a domestic worker and later as gatekeeper at North Carolina’s Airlie Gardens — impacted her art as much as her extrasensory experiences. After “The Lost World” debuts in Atlanta, Evans’ work will make a triumphant return to the Whitney in summer 2026. This exhibition is organized by the High Museum of Art, Atlanta.

“The Family Album of Ralph Eugene Meatyard”

Dec. 12, 2025-May 10, 2026

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-20th 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. This exhibition, coinciding with the artist’s centenary, will feature the 36 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. Through his idiosyncratic selection of images, this exhibition will explore how Meatyard’s singular approach and voracious curiosity expanded photography’s expressive and conceptual potential. This exhibition is organized by the High Museum of Art, Atlanta.

“Blazing Light: Photographs by Mimi Plumb”
Feb. 6-May 10, 2026

Over the last 50 years, photographer Mimi Plumb has expertly and poignantly captured the evolution of the Western U.S. landscape and the lives of those within it. In her first solo museum exhibition, the High will present three of her major bodies of work, featuring more than 100 photographs captured in and around San Francisco and across the American West. Collectively, they contemplate how changes in geopolitics, the economy and the environment have shaped the anxieties of American life from the 1970s to today. After it debuts at the High, the exhibition will travel to three more venues: Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University (Ithaca, New York), the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida, and the Museum of Contemporary Photography at Columbia College Chicago. This exhibition is organized by the High Museum of Art, Atlanta.

“Isamu Noguchi: ‘I am not a designer’”
April 10-Aug. 2, 2026

Although Isamu Noguchi declared in 1949, “I am not a designer,” the internationally acclaimed artist’s work exemplifies the broadest definition of design, including sculpture, furniture, lighting, playgrounds, landscapes and theatrical sets, all of which harmonize art, architecture and nature. In spring 2026, the High will debut the artist’s first design retrospective in over 20 years, featuring nearly 200 objects, many never exhibited and rarely seen, spanning all facets of his creative output. The exhibition coincides with the 50th 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. Highlights will include sculptural models of potential and unrealized designs, including “Play Mountain” (1933), tables designed with manufacturers including Knoll and Herman Miller, and a model of a house Noguchi designed in collaboration with architect Kazumi Adachi. The exhibition will also feature several large-scale installations, notably a spectacular stage set for choreographer Martha Graham and one of Noguchi’s innovative pieces of play equipment. The diverse, interactive presentation will explore works that embrace function to understand Noguchi as a multinational, interdisciplinary artist who shaped a more open, inclusive world. After the exhibition closes in Atlanta, it will travel to the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts (Sept. 19, 2026-Jan. 3, 2027) and the Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York (spring 2027). This exhibition is organized by the High Museum of Art, Atlanta.

“Amy Sherald: American Sublime”
May 15-Sept. 27, 2026

The High Museum of Art joins the national tour for “Amy Sherald: American Sublime," the acclaimed mid-career retrospective for the Georgia native and the largest exhibition of her work to date. Featuring a broad range of paintings made from 2007 to 2024, the presentation will include many of Sherald’s most iconic works, along with rarely seen paintings spanning her career. Born in Columbus, Georgia, Sherald has deep ties to Atlanta and to the High. She trained as a painter in the city and graduated from Clark Atlanta University. In 2018, the High awarded her its annual David C. Driskell Prize in African American Art and Art History, the first national award to recognize the importance of African American art. The museum presented “The Obama Portraits Tour,” featuring her renowned portrait of former First Lady Michelle Obama, in 2022. The High is the fourth venue for this exhibition, which is organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), where it debuted in 2024, and which previously traveled to the Whitney Museum of American Art. The exhibition will be on view at the Baltimore Museum of Art (Nov. 2, 2025-April 5, 2026) before it comes to Atlanta. This exhibition is organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) and curated by Sarah Roberts, former Andrew W. Mellon Curator and Head of Painting and Sculpture at SFMOMA.
