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.
