Matthew Brandt’s experimental approach to image making reconfigures the basic physical elements of photographic objects. For his Lakes and Reservoirs series, Brandt photographed bodies of water throughout the American West and then soaked the prints for several weeks in water he had collected from those locations.

Find Nurphar Lake WY 5, 2013 in New Acquisitions Photography, on view through Sunday, September 6.

“One day, after gazing at a pattern of red flowers on the tablecloth, I looked up to see that the ceiling, the windows, and the columns seemed to be plastered with the same red floral pattern. I saw the entire room, my entire body, and the entire universe covered with red flowers, and in that instant my soul was obliterated and I was restored, returned to infinity, to eternal time and absolute space.” —Yayoi Kusama

Yayoi Kusama has passed away at 97. She was one of the twentieth century’s most influential and beloved artists. We send our condolences to her friends, family, and loved ones.

The flash of red provided by this young girl's hat draws attention to her inquiring gaze. She holds a playfully oversized cup—a nod to Lewis Carroll's novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865)—that gives the painting a slightly surreal feeling.

After more than a decade of dedicating herself to painting, Sherald gained national attention when this work won first prize in the 2016 Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. She was the first woman and the first African American to win the competition.

Visit Amy Sherald: American Sublime now at the High Museum of Art for a limited time.
