AMY SHERALD

Four Ways of Being brings together four portraits by the artist—some never before seen in New York—and explores the intersection of past, present, and future. Each painting captures a distinct way of existing in the world. Here, she reimagines her subjects from diverse backgrounds and generations coexisting in a shared moment, inviting the viewer to contemplate the fluidity of time and the complex ways our histories shape our understanding of ourselves.

This installation is presented in conjunction with Amy Sherald: American Sublime.

Amy Sherald: Four Ways of Being is organized by Rujeko Hockley, Arnhold Associate Curator, with David Lisbon, Curatorial Assistant.

This work is part of a series of public art installations organized by the Whitney in partnership with TF Cornerstone and High Line Art.

Amy Sherald: Four Ways of Being is part of Outside the Box programming, which is supported by a generous endowment from the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Foundation.

Additional support is provided by the Artists Council.
