The [High Museum of Art](https://www.high.org/?ref=hyperallergic.com) in Atlanta was recently visited by onscreen boxer, [bottled water enthusiast](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZwo0xlnFhM&ref=hyperallergic.com), and [aspiring abstract painter](http://viola.bz/exhibition-paintings-sylvester-stallone-moscow/?ref=hyperallergic.com) Sylvester Stallone, who documented his visit in a rocky shaky video [selfie](https://www.instagram.com/p/BCqXXexRxQV/?ref=hyperallergic.com) he shared on Instagram today. The post captures him in front of a video work by [Borna Sammak](http://www.jttnyc.com/6953,6954,6962?ref=hyperallergic.com), “Untitled” (2015), sharing an astute observation: “Living art, fantastic, huh? Nothing’s better than art.” (Stallone is in Atlanta shooting — [rumor has it](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3478373/Star-Lord-s-father-Sylvester-Stallone-spotted-set-Guardians-Galaxy-Vol-2-Atlanta.html?ref=hyperallergic.com) — the *Guardians of the Galaxy* sequel.)

While at the High he ‘[grammed](https://www.instagram.com/p/BCoFxxARxXG/?ref=hyperallergic.com) another selfie in front of Morris Louis’s “[Para III](http://morrislouis.org/paintings/large/du231?ref=hyperallergic.com)” (1959) with the [over-the-top](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093692/?ref%5F=nm%5Fflmg%5Fact%5F45&ref=hyperallergic.com) caption, “Checking out the in Atlantia Georgia very inspiring much more to follow.” Coming from the man who’s spent the last 40 years remaking the same film, that promise seems like a sure bet.
