Meet the Artist—Lorna Simpson: Source Notes

Go behind the scenes with artist Lorna Simpson as she discusses her artistic process and preparations for her exhibition Lorna Simpson: Source Notes, on view at The Met through November 2, 2025. This presentation of work by New York–based artist Lorna Simpson is the first exhibition to consider the entirety of her painting practice to date. Simpson came to prominence in the early 1990s with her pioneering approach to conceptual photography. Since then, she has produced works in multiple media that continue to probe the nature of images and how they construct meaning.
