“Ezrom Legae: Beasts”
June 13-Nov. 16, 2025

This summer, the High Museum of Art will present “Ezrom Legae: Beast”, the first major museum exhibition in the United States for celebrated South African artist Ezrom Legae (1938-1999). The more than 30 works on view address apartheid in South Africa through form and metaphor, exemplifying the ways in which Legae, like other artists at the time, used coded visual languages to subvert and endure tyranny. A very important and appropriate exhibit for our current society.
