High Museum Will Show Basquiat's 1984 'Blue Ribbon' Paintings Feb. 19 to May 16, 2027

The High Museum of Art will open 'Basquiat, the Blue Ribbon Paintings, and the Art of Reproduction' on Feb. 19, 2027, Rough Draft Atlanta reports, citing a High press release. The show, organized by the Princeton University Art Museum, runs through May 16 with more than 50 works and centers on 11 'Blue Ribbon' paintings from 1984 that Rough Draft says have not been shown together publicly in more than three decades.

Why It Matters for Atlanta Professionals

A major Jean-Michel Basquiat show gives Atlanta a marquee winter culture event for date nights, client outings and visitors, and keeps the High in the national art conversation after its centennial year.
