Envisioning a Deliberate Future: Michael Sherman’s Art of Giving

The generous loan of Simone Leigh's powerful sculpture, "Meredith," by collectors Michael Sherman and Carrie Tivador to a prominent museum, offers a crucial lesson for emerging women artists. This act of philanthropic giving not only expands public access to Leigh's celebrated work but also places it in vital conversation with art historical masterpieces.
