Traveling from the artist’s major solo exhibition at Hauser & Wirth in London, her first solo show in Europe, a selection of new and monumental works by Amy Sherald will be on display at the gallery in Monaco. Amy Sherald, one of the defining contemporary portraitists in the United States, is acclaimed for her paintings of Black Americans 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. As Sherald says, ‘sharing these paintings in Europe is an opportunity for me to reflect on how the tradition of portraiture finds continuity as one of several lineages alive in my work.’
