Contemporary Art

In a rapidly globalizing art world, acquiring the most significant works by contemporary artists is crucial to telling a fuller story of art of the African continent. Artists such as El Anatsui, Kay Hassan, Iba Ndiaye, and Malick Sidibé bring African art into the present day and offer rich dialogue with the High Museum’s other curatorial departments.
