The Museum of Modern Art announces Jack Whitten: The Messenger, the first comprehensive retrospective dedicated to the groundbreaking art of Jack Whitten (American, 1939–2018), on view from March 23 through August 2, 2025, in the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Center for Special Exhibitions. Presented solely at MoMA, the exhibition will explore the full range of Whitten’s innovative art over his nearly six-decade career, showing more than 175 works from the 1960s to the 2010s, including paintings, sculptures, rarely shown works on paper, and archival materials. Together, these works will reveal how Whitten overturned the tenets of modern art-making to become one of the most important artists of our time. Beginning his career during the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, Whitten was under great pressure to create directly representational art as a form of activism, yet he dared to invent new forms of abstraction and, in the process, transformed the relationship between art, memory, and society.

The Metropolitan Museum is a world-class art museum in New York City, USA. I have some brief feelings after visiting: 1. Extensive collections: The Metropolitan Museum has a wide range of collections, including artworks from Europe and the Americas, artworks from Africa and Asia, ancient artworks and more. These collections show the development of human art and culture. 2. Fine art: The artworks in the museum, whether they are paintings, sculptures or crafts, have made me feel the talents and innovation of the artists. 3. Interactive: There are many interactive exhibitions in the museum, which can better understand and appreciate the artwork. 4. Educational: The explanations and guided tours in the museum are very detailed, and for me, this is a good opportunity to learn and understand art. 5. Spacious and comfortable: the museum has a reasonable space layout and makes people feel very comfortable. It doesn&rsquo;t feel crowded even with a lot of people. Overall, visiting the Metropolitan Museum was a very pleasant experience and I highly recommend everyone to have the opportunity to visit.

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.
