Private View: ‘Amy Sherald. The World We Make’

  • Tue 11 October 2022
  • 6 – 8 pm

Join us for a Private View of our brand new exhibition ‘Amy Sherald. The World We Make’ at Hauser & Wirth London.

Amy Sherald, one of the defining contemporary portraitists in the United States, unveils a suite of new paintings in a major exhibition at Hauser & Wirth London, marking the artist’s first solo show in Europe. Featuring a series of small-scale and monumental portraits across both the gallery’s London spaces, this presentation is the artist’s largest to date with the gallery. Sherald is acclaimed for her paintings of Black Americans at leisure that have become landmarks in the grand tradition of social portraiture—a tradition that for too long excluded the Black men, women, families, and artists whose lives have been inextricable from public and politicised narratives.

Amy Sherald. The World We Make’ is open until 23 Dec 2022.

Due to the popularity of this event, please be advised a one-in, one-out system will be in effect to manage queues.
