The Art of Minnie Evans

In 1975, folk artist Minnie Evans became one of the first Black artists to have a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. After her death in 1987, Evans’s artistic nova faded into semiobscurity and she hasn’t been the subject of a major exhibition since the 1990s. Through the years, the High Museum of Art began to collect the work of the North Carolina–born Evans and will showcase more than 100 of her pieces for the exhibit The Lost World: The Art of Minnie Evans that opens November 14 and runs through April 12, 2026. The nationally touring exhibit will return Evans to the Whitney in the summer of 2026.
