the high museum: picasso to warhol

After a month of talking, Lillie and I finally made our way to the Picasso to Warhol exhibit at the High Museum. We made the fatal mistake of going on free Saturday, the first Saturday of every month, where Bank of America cardholders and Fulton County residents receive free admission. The permanent exhibits were fairly empty, but I could barely get a shot of the Picasso to Warhol exhibit. It was excellently curated with pieces you'd never seen in ATL from artists like Mondrian, de Chirico, and Miro.

My favorite section was the third floor of the Wieland wing, which features contemporary art pieces that are part of the High's permanent collection as well as some from the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) - Georgia.

  2. Love your gorgeous outfit, especially that great jumper. Museums are always so packed on free admission days but it looks like this one was worth it. That bright star sculpture is so cool.

  5. Love the photo of you in the Contemporary wing, Alicia - you should have the High include that in their marketing materials ;)
    I only made it to the High a few times in the 10 years I lived in Atlanta. I was always slightly disgruntled at the crowds (and the flow of the museum) and never particularly happy with the special exhibits. But I'm so glad the Picasso to Warhol exhibit was good!
