How Lorna Simpson uses imagery to reconstruct meaning

Step inside the studio of New York artist Lorna Simpson. This video explores her creative methods and the preparation behind her exhibition at The Met, which marks a significant milestone in her career.

While Simpson first gained recognition in the early 1990s for her groundbreaking work in conceptual photography, this exhibition, Lorna Simpson: Source Notes, offers a new perspective. Running at The Met until November 2, 2025, the presentation is the first to examine the full scope of her painting practice. Her diverse body of work across various media continues to investigate how images are formed and the ways they generate meaning.
