Over the course of Mary Corse’s six-decade career, Corse has explored the phenomena of light, space, and perception in both the sublime across mediums and boundary-spanning abstraction. A key member of the Los Angeles artist community from the 1960s to the present day, she is often associated with the Light and Space movement, but has always been committed to the possibilities of painting, which remains her primary focus. As part of her empirical and highly tactile approach to art-making, Corse continually investigates the ways in which light is both subject and material. In the late 1960s, while searching for ways to embed light into her paintings, Corse experienced an epiphany. Driving along Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu at sunset, she noticed that the road signs gradually became illuminated by headlights as she drove. While researching industrial applications that would make this effect possible, she discovered glass microspheres—a material used to enhance the visibility of road signs. In 1968, Corse began applying these refracting microspheres to the surfaces of her white light paintings, giving these works a sense of illumination projected from the picture plane itself. 
Corse will debut a series of new diamond paintings at her exhibition at Pace in New York this fall that continue her long-standing practice of incorporating microscopic glass spheres into her painted surfaces. Corse has been experimenting with the physical structure of her canvases since she studied at the Chouinard Institute of Art in Los Angeles from 1964 to 1968. Although she created her first diamond paintings in her twenties, this series of works are the first diamond canvases she has created since the 1960s. Corse's return to the diamond form highlights a hallmark of her practice: an interest in recursion and returning to earlier ideas. With her new diamond paintings, the artist delves deeper into the foundational concepts that originally inspired her practice. She expands the scope of her inquiry into the metaphysical dimensions of her work through new versions of these ideas that have long been central to her work.

Metropolitan Museum of Art: Inception Space for Human Civilization This 130,000 square-metre maze hides a larger landscape than the New York skyline. It is recommended to start your time-travel from the Greek and Roman exhibition halls - the sun shines through the glass dome on the 6th century BC marble statues, the lines of the muscles of the gods are still breathing. The temple of the Danyu Temple in the Egyptian Pavilion is the most breathtaking. The complete 15th century BC temple was moved by the wealthy in 1965 and is now soaked in artificial pools, the water reflects the modern tourists, forming a absurd space-time shadow. The &quot;Pharmacist&#39;s Changing Map&quot; in the Asian exhibition hall on the second floor always sits with a thoughtful oriental face, and the Tiffany glass window in the American Wing Courtyard is always a collection of selfie net reds. The real magic happens half an hour before the closing. As the crowd disperses, you can be alone with Van Gogh&rsquo;s self-portrait on the empty European Painting Corridor, watching the twisted brush strokes of the canvas awaken in the dusk. The $25 suggested ticket is a bargain - here you buy not a ticket but a night flight permit for the human civilization of 3,000 years.

The Statue of Liberty: Green Rust Mottled American Fable This bronze sculpture presented by the French has long been the most expensive postcard in New York. As you take the crowded ferry near Liberty Island, you will see the goddess&#39; rusty abrasive glow in the sun - an inch thick layer of oxide, just like the hard-to-ignore years of pulp on the surface of the American Dream. The experience of the crown is full of metaphors. The process of climbing the 354-level spiral staircase is like the struggle of new immigrants: the more up space the more forced, the final look out from the 25 small windows of the crown, the Manhattan skyline becomes a cut-out fragment. In front of the poem tablet of the new giant on the pedestal, tourists from all over the country took turns taking pictures with the verses of &quot;Give me your tired&quot;, and the number of strollers in the security team suggested that the migrant story was still being written. The most moving moment was at dusk. When the sun set on the torch, the saxophonists on the cruise ship began to play &quot;America the Beautiful&quot;. At this time, the goddess turned back to Wall Street and faced the Atlantic Ocean - a position that has been held for 137 years, whether to welcome or farewell.

Rockefeller Center

Karenkakao

A must-visit spot in NYC! Rockefeller Center is not just iconic&mdash;it&rsquo;s also incredibly functional. Walking through the building is a great experience, with beautiful architecture, vibrant public spaces, and plenty of food options in and around the concourse. One of the best features is the subway station right in the lower level, making it super easy to get to. And of course, it&rsquo;s home to my favorite observation deck in the city&mdash;Top of the Rock. The views are unbeatable!
