In 2010, a significant gift from the West Foundation of Atlanta established a landmark collection of American Neoclassical sculpture at the High. The Museum’s holdings feature mythological, literary, and classical subjects that reflect the taste and concerns of nineteenth-century Americans. Artists represented in the collection include Horatio Greenough, William Wetmore Story, Harriet Hosmer, and Hiram Powers.
