Exhibitions

This exhibition surveys the High’s diverse collecting areas, offering unprecedented juxtapositions of works by artists from a variety of cultural backgrounds, unified conceptually by their interest in grids.

The exhibition features nearly seventy contemporary artworks from the early 1990s through the present that examine the different ways that one of the most powerful forces of life—love—is understood, expressed, or perhaps left unspoken.
