Rhea L. Combs, director of curatorial affairs, sharing her excitement about the exhibition: "This presentation of Amy's work is not just an exhibition; it is an incredible sort of 'welcome home' for her that speaks volumes about her journey and evolution as an artist from this region to the global stage. The diversity and richness of her work reflect the profound experiences she has encountered."
Combs elaborates on Sherald's significance: "To have Sherald's art showcased at the National Portrait Gallery marks an extraordinary moment in our commitment to amplify underrepresented voices in contemporary art, especially as she becomes the first contemporary Black artist to have a solo exhibition here. It is a pivotal step towards reflecting the diverse narratives of American art history."
