John Portman Exhibit at High Museum

John Portman graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1956. In 1967 he garnered international acclaim for his design of the 22 story atrium, the first of its kind, in the Hyatt Regency Atlanta.

Downtown Atlanta is home to many of his other landmark projects including the Westin Peachtree Plaza, The Atlanta Marriott Marquis, AmericasMart, and the Peachtree Center Complex. AmericasMart is currently the largest wholesale marketplace in the world.

Even more compelling are his international projects such as the Incheon 151 Tower at Songdo Landmark City, Incheon, Korea which will be the world’s secong largest building when completed, or the Zhe Jiang Fortune Finance Center in Hangzhou, China. Other works include Tomorrow Square, Shanghai, China; Beijing Yintai Centre, Beijing, China; Marina Square, Singapore; Jin Hongqiao International Center, Shanghai China; and the Wenzhou Zhixin Plaza, Wenzhou, China.

Leonardo da Vinci Exhibit at the High Museum

“Leonardo da Vinci – Hand of the Genius” Exhibit is now Premiering at the High Museum in Atlanta through Feb. 21.

This extraordinary Atlanta event at the High Museum of Art includes 50 works from Leonardo da Vinci and also Donatello, Rubens and Verrochio.

One of the more prominent works features Rustici’s colossal bronze sculptures from the facade of the Baptistery in Florence. Other works include collections from the Vatican Museums, the British Museum, the Musee du Louvre and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

There are new works divulged at the High Museum that are attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. The recent restoration of Verrocchio’s Relief for the Silver Alter revealed two of the figures made very differently than the others. It indicates they were created by Leonardo da Vinci and not Verrochio who was his teacher.

Leonardo da Vinci: Hand of the Genius is the first exhibit to examine the masters interest into Renaissance sculpture. More than 20 sketches and studies by Leonardo will be on exhibit for the very first time in the United States.
