For The Met Fifth Avenue’s facade niches, Nairy Baghramian will create four abstract polychrome sculptures with components that seem to have washed up like flotsam and jetsam in the voids of their respective niches. The project is the artist’s first public installation in New York City and is the fourth in the series of contemporary commissions for The Met’s facade.
Born in Iran in 1971, Nairy Baghramian fled to Berlin, Germany, in 1984, where she continues to live and work. Baghramian creates abstract sculptures that explore the dynamics of the body, gender, and dichotomies of private and public space. Her site-responsive sculptures and installations engage with architecture and often evoke bodily gestures, junctures, or fragments. Along with site responsivity, other hallmarks of Baghramian’s work are polychromy and the innovative and subversive use of different types of material.
The exhibition is made possible by Angela A. Chao and Jim Breyer, Robert Denning, Cynthia Hazen Polsky and Leon B. Polsky, and The Hayden Family Foundation.

It came on September 19, 2017. The Metropolitan Museum is one of the most important museums in the world. With the influence of American imperialism, through the clever capture, the collection of cultural relics and artworks from all civilizations around the world is mostly representative cultural relics of various civilizations. I believe every visitor will feel mixed here. The entire museum is classified according to different civilizations on all continents, because the history of the collection is known to everyone, so the exhibition is very simple and rude, that is, put a civilized thing in a place, there is no good narrative, it is completely a &quot;trophy&quot; display. There are a lot of collections here, if you want to look good, it takes a day or two. The museum is right next to Central Park, and two places can also be arranged to visit in a day, half a day in the park, 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.
