To continue from the earlier posts, a video on YouTube without the tracker—Amy Sherald: The 60 Minutes Interview
If you are American, you may cry, as I did. The cancelled Smithsonian show, such a loss. I think in my next life, I’d be such a person. Such internal power. At the end of the interview, do not miss the last question posed to her, and her answer. #AmySherald #American #WhoIsSmerican #Artist #MyNewFave
What I’m talking about: see this gallery video of her exhibition through 2026.
The exhibition tells the story of Sherald’s vision and practice through 38 paintings created from 2007 to the present—from her early, rarely seen works to her iconic, larger-than-life portraits of Black Americans in everyday moments, many of which were painted in Baltimore and feature Baltimore-based models.
Oh my oh my, just got to share a gallery of paintings by an artist I had not thought about for years. Amy Sherald —omg. As I looked through a gallery of 22 paintings, I felt I was holding my breath. Each one, in order by date, each one was a step by step continuation and gathering of power. I encourage you all to take a look. And if you can handle it, read her Wikipedia. I had no idea that you-know-who in the WH caused cancelations both by this artist and by the federal entities. Because, you know why.

Artist Amy Sherald decided to keep her exhibition "American Sublime" from being installed at the Smithsonian after the gallery told her it had concerns about the painting Trans Forming Liberty, which presents the Statue of Liberty as a Black trans woman. She writes for MSNBC about the importance of museums to the past and present. "Philippe de Montebello, an art curator who previously directed the Metropolitan Museum of Art for 31 years, once called museums 'the memory of mankind.' If that is true, then to manipulate museums is to manipulate who we believe we are. Control the memory and you control the future," Sherald writes. "Museums are not stages for loyalty. They are civic laboratories. They are places where we wrestle with contradictions, encounter the unfamiliar and widen our circle of empathy. But only if they remain free."

Sherald told the New Yorker that Trans Forming Liberty “challenges who we allow to embody our national symbols—and who we erase.” She added, “It demands a fuller vision of freedom, one that includes the dignity of all bodies, all identities. Liberty isn’t fixed. She transforms, and so must we. This portrait is a confrontation with that truth.”
