Lorna Simpson

Known for her pioneering approach to conceptual photography in the 1980s and 1990s, Lorna Simpson has expanded the boundaries and possibilities of representation for more than 40 years. Simpson’s continued commitment to experimentation has made her a visionary and one of the most widely admired artists of our time. Her work To My Best Friend, 2013, will be on view at the ICA as part of a collection exhibition of the same name, opening on January 23, 2026.

 

Meraki Artist Award

The $100,000 annual Meraki Artist Award is generously funded by Fotene Demoulas and recognizes the artistic achievements of women artists. Taking inspiration from the Greek word “meraki,” which means to do something with soul, love, or creativity, the Meraki Artist Award was established in 2025 to support the ICA’s efforts in exhibiting, presenting, and collecting the work of visionary artists. Simpson will accept the Meraki Artist Award at the Women’s Luncheon.
