The Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery will present "Amy Sherald: American Sublime," the largest, most comprehensive exhibition of the artist’s work to date. Organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), "American Sublime" is the artist’s first major museum survey, bringing together paintings made from 2007 to the present.

New and rarely seen works will be joined by the artist’s now iconic portrait of former First Lady Michelle Obama (2018), commissioned by the Portrait Gallery for its collection.
