Exhibits

The Resonant Image: Photographs by Chip Simone
The High Museum of Art has organized and is premiering an exhibition of 64 color photographs by Atlanta-based photographer Robert “Chip” Simone. Having worked as a classic black-and-white street photographer for most of his career, Simone embraced digital technology and color output in the year 2000, moving his experimentation's with the medium into fresh and invigorating territory. This exhibition will showcase the results of Simone’s recent explorations, presenting a tightly focused retrospective of the past decade of his work.

Alfred Stieglitz and His Circle: American Moderns from Atlanta Collections
The exhibition features approximately 60 works―watercolors, prints, paintings and photographs―drawn from the High’s permanent collection, as well as loans from private collections located in Atlanta. On display are works by both Alfred Stieglitz and the artists who engaged with him over the course of five decades—from the early experimental works of Max Weber to the mature expressions of John Marin and Marsden Hartley, and the progressive photographic compositions of Paul Strand and Edward Steichen.

Participation in Museum Day is open to any tax-exempt or governmental museum or cultural venue on a voluntary basis. Smithsonian magazine encourages museum visitation, but is not responsible for and does not endorse the content of the participating museums and cultural venues, and does not subsidize museums that participate.
