Gordon Parks. Jean-Michel Basquiat. Lorna Simpson. Kehinde Wiley. Nina Chanel Abney. These names loom large in the past and present of art—as do many others in the collection of musical and cultural icons Swizz Beatz (Kasseem Dean) and Alicia Keys. Giants is the first major exhibition devoted to the couple’s world-class holdings of works by multigenerational Black diasporic artists. The Deans, both born and raised in New York, champion a philosophy of “Black artists supporting Black artists.” As Swizz Beatz told Cultured magazine, “The collection started not just because we’re art lovers, but also because there’s not enough people of color collecting artists of color.”
“Giants” refers to several aspects of their collection: the renown of legendary artists, the impact of canon-expanding contemporary artists, and the monumental works by such creators as Derrick Adams, Arthur Jafa, and Meleko Mokgosi. Immense pieces—including the largest ever by Mokgosi—are paired with standouts such as Parks’s seminal photographs, Wiley’s revolutionary portraits, and Esther Mahlangu’s globe-bridging canvases. 
The term also evokes the strength of the bonds between the Deans and the artists they support, and among the artists themselves. Along with examining these links and legacies, the exhibition will encourage “giant conversations” inspired by the works on view—critiquing society and celebrating Blackness.

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.

The representative of New York, USA, has two routes to take. We went up by ferry, and there is also a speedboat, but this is the most cost-effective. We went there at 2 pm, and there were not many people, so it was just right to come back. If you go in the morning, there are more tour groups and the queue will be very long.

The first day of the New Year is a tourist, but compared to the domestic people, the queue time is reasonable. . . The roof is too windy, the 80th floor is indoor, the photo has reflection, you can go up to the 86th floor to take pictures outside, overlooking the whole of New York.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York is full of creativity and modernity. The artworks in the museum span multiple fields, from Picasso to Andy Warhol, and each piece of work can inspire thinking. The exhibition is rich in content and the space is beautifully designed, which is very suitable for art lovers and cultural tourists.
