 The Folk Art Messenger: High Museum
In December 2004, she was named associate curator of folk art at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, after serving as interim curator.
The museum was unable to secure additional venues on such short notice since most museums set their exhibition schedules at least a couple of years in advance.
Lynne Spriggs, then curator of folk art at the High, and I interviewed all the artists we could who were still living, which, of course, gave me invaluable insights into the works.

 African Arts: High Museum of Art Atlanta, Georgia - new acquisitions
In 2001 the Richmans endowed the High with funds to create a Department of African Art and to appoint a curator to build the museum's holdings in this area, develop a related exhibition program, and plan the installation of new African art galleries, designed by Renzo Piano, which are slated to open in 2005.
I joined the High's curatorial team in that capacity in 2001, and in that same year, the couple made their entire African art collection, comprising 187 works, a promised gift to the museum.
These recent acquisitions are evidence of the High's increasing commitment to represent the rich diversity of the art of the African continent, past and present.

Harriet Goldstein's initial art collection gave no clue that she would become a benefactor to the High Museum of Art for more than 40 years.
Goldstein, voted wittiest in her North Fulton High School class, was extremely bright and never boasted about her achievements, said Herbert Cohen of Atlanta, a friend for 61 years.
They were 62-year partners in marriage and in buying paintings and supporting the arts, yet she never discussed with him the money she gave to young artists, he said.

 High Museum of Art - Richard Meier - Great Buildings Online
A classical four square parti is manipulated to create spatial distinctions worthy of the museums important placement and public function within the cultural scope of Atlanta.
Light, whether direct or filtered, admitted through skylights, ribbon glazing, clerestory strips, or minimal perforations in the panel wall, is a consistant preoccupation throughout: apart from its functional aspect, it is a symbol of the museum's role as a place of aesthetic illumination and enlightened cultural values.
Too frequently, the merely historical understanding of architecture is considered the complete and authentic understanding: whereas the sense of spiritual activity expressed in architectonic forms should be related to speculative interest in the nature of architectural forms more directly than to a historical interest in forms already realized, already claimed by the past.
