The New York Times reported that the photographer Taryn Simon has filled the Guggenheim with evidence in a work titled ‘Father Country I Do Love You.’ The report, written by Jason Farago and Daniel Terna, was published on October 29, 2026.

According to the New York Times, Simon spent a decade channeling an F.B.I. agent's life into pictures. The report's summary presents that decade-long effort as the basis of the work now at the Guggenheim.

The article asks two questions about the project: whether it is good art, and whether it matters. The summary poses both questions without answering them, and the available material does not supply an answer.

The headline and summary are the only text available for this account. Details of the project beyond those two elements, including its scope and the agent's identity, are not contained in the available material and are not reported here.
