Where to Go and What to See

This week, take the time to view some black-and-white portraits by famed LIFE photographer Gordon Parks, on display at The Gallery at Hermes (691 Madison Avenue, 4th Floor). The exhibit debuts on May 20 and features intimate photographs of Americans — both famous and everyday — from the past 30 years. Himself embodying the American Dream, Gordon Parks worked his way out of his impoverished Kansas hometown to become one of the most respected photographers of the 20th century. Above is Parks's iconic image of Muhammad Ali.
