Collection of High Museum of Art Atlanta

High Museum of Art
Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Collection exhibition

It is always interesting to see the collection of an art museum. In addition to the artwork itself, it is interesting to see which artists are chosen, and which selections are made. The great High Museum of Art in Atlanta exhibits its collection in the upper floor, with skylights designed by architect Renzo Piano. The house installation by Roy Liechtenstein is a eye-opener by the entrance, and I was impressed to see several great pieces by Anish Kapoor. Here are some highlights:
