This presentation of work by New York–based artist Lorna Simpson is the first exhibition to consider the entirety of her painting practice to date. Simpson came to prominence in the 1980s with her pioneering approach to conceptual photography. Since then, she has produced works in multiple media that continue to probe the nature of images and how they construct meaning. Lorna Simpson: Source Notes focuses on a significant new development in her work of the last 10 years: paintings that advance her incisive explorations of gender, race, identity, representation, and history. Through more than 30 works, this focused exhibition presents a selection of Simpson’s major paintings, including examples from her acclaimed Venice Biennale debut in 2015 and her celebrated series Special Characters, along with recent sculptures and related collages.

This 50-minute tour of the Statue of Liberty doesn&#39;t involve landing on the island. When the boat gets very close to the statue, it stops for photos and even switches directions to accommodate passengers on both sides. This tour is perfect for travelers with limited time in New York. Purchasing tickets on Ctrip is very convenient. After payment, you receive a QR code for your ticket instantly, which you can scan to board the boat. If you miss your scheduled boarding time, don&#39;t worry; you can use the QR code at the ticket window to change to the next available boat. Also, you don&#39;t need to arrive at the dock more than half an hour early; ten minutes is enough, and there&#39;s no security check.

The Empire State Building is still the most classic of all the viewing spots in New York. Even though it is so old, its facilities are not outdated and the scenery is unbeatable. As long as you catch the sunset and night view, it is worth the ticket.

Had an hour to spare during a business trip in NYC, quickly saw it was near the hotel and entrance was cheap enough. Really didn&rsquo;t expect to see iconic pieces the Starry Night and Les Demoiselles d&rsquo;Avignon in person, as I didn&rsquo;t research this place before so it was a nice surprise. Try to get there before noon for an uncrowded experience.

Central Park

Fall Viewing Attractions

Central Park is very fun. There are large lawns and many squirrels running around. You can rent bicycles and ride horse-drawn carriages in the park. It is also nice to just walk around. There is a huge children&#39;s playground not far from Columbus circle. Children from all over the world who come to New York come here to play. They can play in the sand and water, and there are slides, swings, and rockeries. It is easy to play for half a day. There are also many people playing on the lawn. Many people there like to throw frisbees. Many families come here for vacation. It doesn&#39;t get dark until about 8:30 in the summer in the United States, so it&#39;s no problem to play in the park for a whole day!

The Chinese Pavilion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is truly worth a visit. Across thousands of miles, it still amazes the world! I&#39;m grateful to Victor Zhou for his professional and thoughtful explanation, which made this trip to New York a perfect ending!
