Join MoMA curator Samantha Friedman on a fascinating tour of the installation "Ellsworth Kelly's Sketchbooks" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This year-long exhibition celebrates the centennial of the birth of renowned artist Ellsworth Kelly and showcases his extraordinary sketchbooks, which were largely kept private during his lifetime. Kelly's art is characterized by its economic lines, reduced geometries, and uninterrupted planes of color, which create a striking simplicity that belies the effort and experimentation behind each piece.

In this installation, you will have the opportunity to explore 25 of Kelly's sketchbooks, generously gifted to MoMA by Jack Shear. These sketchbooks offer a unique glimpse into the artist's creative process and reveal the real-world references that often inspired his seemingly non-objective compositions. Accompanying the sketchbooks are related drawings and paintings, providing a comprehensive view of Kelly's artistic journey.

Throughout his career, Kelly explored various artistic techniques, from automatic drawings that allowed his pencil to flow freely, to multicolor grids that harnessed the possibilities of chance, and collages of flat color that transformed passing impressions into an art of ideals. This exhibition highlights the breadth and depth of Kelly's artistic vision.

Organized by The Drawing Foundation in association with Master Drawings, this event is a must-see for art enthusiasts and admirers of Ellsworth Kelly's work. Registration for this free event opens on January 4th, 2024, at 12 pm Eastern. Don't miss this opportunity to delve into the fascinating world of Ellsworth Kelly's Sketchbooks.

Came here on September 19, 2017.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the most important museums in the world. With the influence of American imperialism, it has collected cultural relics and artworks from various civilizations around the world through plunder. Most of these exhibits are representative cultural relics of various civilizations. I believe that every visitor will feel mixed emotions here.

The entire museum is classified according to different civilizations on different continents. Because everyone knows the origin of the collections, the exhibition is very simple and crude, that is, putting the things of a civilization in one place, without any good narrative, it is completely a &quot;trophy&quot; display.

There are many collections here. If you want to see them carefully, you need to spend one or two days. The museum is next to Central Park, and the two places can also be arranged to visit in one day, half a day in the park and half a day in the museum.

Super easy to navigate from metro to ferry through the park. Helpful and friendly staff when you wanted them, not in your face like other tourist attractions which was such a respite. The island was very calm, good cafe, gift shop and views for days. My one criticism would be the painfully juvenile audio tour recoding (brother and sister). I had to stop listening as it was far too cringey!

Empire State Building

Night view

Came on September 19, 2017. The Empire State Building was built at the beginning of the United States&#39; move to world hegemony, and it has occupied the throne of the world&#39;s tallest building all year round, which can be said to be a must-see attraction for visiting the United States. The building is located in the center of Midtown Manhattan, and the upper viewing platform offers a 360&deg; view of the entire Manhattan, as well as the surrounding states of New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and other states. But now the domestic and even the world is more taller than its skyscrapers, the scenery and vision are not too much, so the meaning of coming up now is probably not so big. Do you want to come up and take a look, everyone will see the wisdom.

The energy of New York City buzzed all around as I strolled through the iconic plaza. The massive Christmas tree sparkled with thousands of lights, creating a festive atmosphere, and the ice-skating rink below was bustling with skaters, laughter, and holiday cheer. I took the elevator up to the Top of the Rock, and the views were breathtaking&mdash;Central Park stretched out to the north, while the Empire State Building gleamed to the south.
