The High Museum of Art welcomed 200 guests for Collectors Evening on Oct. 3, 2019, to support the acquisition of two new works for the Museum’s collection. The acquired objects are Shirin Neshat’s film “Possessed” (2001) and “Barbershop Stand and Shelf” (ca. 1940–1950), a handmade work by an unidentified self-taught artist. “Collectors Evening was another great success for our curatorial departments and a wonderful event dedicated to encouraging involvement from our patrons,” said Rand Suffolk, Nancy and Holcombe T. Green, Jr., director of the High. “The attendees voted to add some truly remarkable works to our collection, and we were thrilled to see their engagement, excitement and commitment to building the collection.” Collectors Evening,
