Ninety-eight-year-old Klaus Kallmann, the grandson of Felix Kallmann, a lawyer and art collector has for the past nine years, waged a legal battle involving Paris’s Musée d’Orsay. Kallmann is in pursuit of the ownership of Hôpital Saint-Paul à Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, 1889, a painting by Vincent van Gogh that’s currently part of the institution’s core collection. Kallmann […]

Raising Cane’s is a place where you can buy chicken finger combos, super-sized Cokes, and crinkle-cut fries, all for under $15—a steal in today’s economy. Now, it’s also a place where you can … see art? Such is the case, at least, at the fast food chain’s Times Square establishment, where a new mural featuring the eatery’s logo was unveiled this week. Its maker is none other than Adrien Brody. Though better known as an Oscar-winning actor, Brody has recently gained attention as a painter, exhibiting artworks that riff on work by artists such as Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and more. These pieces have occasionally sold for top dollar—one painting went for $425,000 at a gala in Cannes last...

The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg has suspended all archaeological expeditions in annexed Crimea as the Kremlin declares a state of emergency amid a severe fuel shortage and continued Ukrainian attacks, according to the Moscow Times. “The expeditions are being postponed until the situation improves,” Alexander Butyagin, head of the Hermitage archaeology department, told the Russian state-run news agency TASS on Monday. “It’s too difficult to organize normal operations right now.” According to local media reports, Butyagin was set to lead an expedition in Crimea last month that has reportedly been relocated to the southern Krasnodar region in Russia.  Butyagin is a highly controversial...

As negotiations for the second contract with the Guggenheim Museum in New York City enter their sixth month, unionized staff across several departments have voted to authorize a strike if necessary. Organized under UAW Local 2110, the Guggenheim's union has been pushing for increased job protections and higher pay following the abrupt layoff of 20 employees in February 2025. After filing a grievance with the National Labor Relations Board regarding the layoffs, the union is zeroing in on additional job security measures and improved severance pay. Union chair Drew Reynolds, who works as a museum educator, said in a press statement that the layoffs that affected 14 union positions were implemented...

In March 2025, the Euclid mission led by the The European Space Agency (ESA) enabled scientists to capture the highest resolution image ever taken of the dense, glowing center of the Milky Way galaxy. An enormous swarm of stars forms a bulge at the heart of the spiral, and researchers continue to search amid these billions of gaseous orbs for exoplanets, or any planet that’s located outside of our solar system. “The galactic bulge—the central region of our galaxy—is a vast, tightly packed structure filled mainly with old, cooler stars, giving it its characteristic yellow colour,” ESA says. The photograph, which is taken with visible light, allows scientists to pinpoint exoplanets and measure their...

Unionized workers at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York voted to strike last week, Artnews reports.

Our West Coast editor visits exhibitions at Timothy Hawkinson, Sea View, and Château Shatto.

The United Kingdom’s Department for Culture, Media and Sport has come under fire from a cross-party parliamentary committee, which says the government has done too little to help the country’s national museums navigate increasing financial and security challenges. The report, according to the Art Newspaper, also shows that the government is considering whether overseas visitors should pay admission to Britain’s national museums, a major change for institutions that have offered free entry for more than two decades. (Officials stressed that no decision has been made and that any proposal would be developed in consultation with museums.) Published by the UK Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC),...

cav builds a GT40-inspired supercar in cape town
 
From a workshop in Cape Town, Cape Advanced Vehicles returns to one of motorsport’s most recognizable shapes with the GT MkII, a car that sits low, wide, and familiar at first glance. It carries the long roofline, deep-set cabin, and muscular rear haunches associated with the Ford GT40, then moves into a far more current language with a body built around carbon fiber composite.
 
The South African manufacturer has spent nearly three decades producing GT40 recreations, building more than 220 examples before turning toward this new model. Timed with the 60th anniversary of Ford’s 1-2-3 finish at Le Mans in 1966, the GT MkII shifts the company from replica...

A new parliamentary report says the UK government lacks leadership and has a “hands-off” approach to how it funds and cares for national museums.

Unionized staff at the Guggenheim Museum have voted to authorize a strike, its union UAW Local 2110 announced today. The union is currently in contract negotiations with the museum, seeking better pay, health benefits, and job security. UAW Local 2110 announced that 93 percent of its membership voted last week in favor of the strike, saying, per a release, that the workers would do so “if necessary to win a fair contract.” The union has not yet set a date for when the strike would take place. Workers at the Guggenheim from several departments, including curatorial, conservation, education, and visitor services, voted to join UAW Local 2110 in 2021 and ratified their first contract with the Guggenheim in...

The organisation’s new Irreplaceable America programme nods to the importance of the Watts Towers, Black Mountain College and the entire city of New Orleans

Mark Rothko is known for his “color field” paintings, a genre that was coined in the 1950s to describe his work specifically, along with peers like Barnett Newman and Clyfford Still. These works are generally characterized by their total abstraction and emphasis on clearly delineated areas, or “fields,” of different hues. One might also think of Josef Albers’ seminal series titled Homage to the Square, which delved into the virtually infinite relationships between colors. For Rothko, canvases were often very large, measuring upwards of 10 feet. The works inside the Rothko Chapel in Houston, for example, are architectonic, commanding the viewer’s complete attention and inviting us to slow down and...

Can artists counter-map the world? Today, Venezuelan writer Clara Maria Apostolatos explores how artists subvert the fraught practices of cartography from the inside out. As relief efforts following last week’s deadly earthquakes lay bare the politics of intervention in Latin America, Apostolatos draws our attention to the quietly rebellious work of Venezuelan conceptual artist Claudio Perna, Chicano artist Sandy Rodriguez, and Dominican artist Firelei Báez, who embrace maps as a way to destabilize the truths we think we know.Meanwhile, in Upstate New York, artist Steel Stillman and many others mourn the closure of Nancy Shaver’s beloved store, and Taliesin Thomas catches up with the artists who...

Printed textile imagery activates a former laundry building
 
The former laundry building of Villa Argentina in Mendrisio, Switzerland, is the subject of a temporary installation by Studio Hug in collaboration with artist Rachele Monti. Commissioned by the City of Mendrisio, the project activates the historic structure during the period preceding its planned restoration, establishing a temporary dialogue between the building, its history, and the public realm.
 
Rather than concealing the existing architecture, the intervention introduces a new visual layer through a series of large-scale printed surfaces positioned behind the building’s existing windows, railings, and structural elements. The facade...

In selvicoltura uno snag è un albero morto che resta in piedi: un organismo cessato e tuttavia non ancora restituito al suolo, più una soglia che un cadavere. Non è un residuo inerte, ma un ecosistema in attività, cavo abitabile per uccelli, insetti, pipistrelli, funghi, licheni – vivo di una vitalità che non è più la propria. È da questa figura sospesa che muove Old Snag, prima personale dell’artista norvegese Ingeborg Tysse (Stavanger, 1992) negli spazi di Société Interludio, a Cambiano (Torino), accompagnata da un testo critico di Caterina Avataneo. Il dato non è secondario: i tre ciliegi morti che reggono l’installazione provengono dai dintorni della galleria, prelevati da quello stesso...

UPSTATE NEW YORK — At Scenic Hudson’s River Center on Friday, saris hanging from clotheslines billowed gracefully in a serene, tent-like installation. Organized by Eve Morgenstern, founder of the climate and art nonprofit Soon is Now, Museum of Fishes & Greens was the result of a collaboration between the Food Studio Collective and local artists in the Sundarbans forest in India, who are featured in a short documentary discussing how they navigate ecological precarity while sustaining households, markets, and biodiversity.This conscientious show kicked off my romp through the seventh annual Upstate Art Weekend (UAW), a celebration of art around the Hudson Valley region and beyond held from June 25 to 29....

As a street photographer, I set out on walks with no destination, only the intent to notice. On these walks, I often take stock of the city's temperature, and during the heat of the 57th New York City Pride March yesterday, June 28, I felt as if I had drifted into an idyllic fever dream. As the march proceeded down Fifth Avenue and looped up and around Seventh Avenue, the parade’s energy dispersed a feeling which I could perhaps only describe as a radiant chaos. During the march, the NYPD functioned more like ornaments, their force relented. With at least the appearance of tension softened, friction took a back seat to the joy emanating from marchers and observers alike. Maybe the heat had softened me,...

Herculaneum papyrus scroll in the process of being scanned NAPLES, ITALY—Scientists have fully “unwrapped” an entire carbonized papyrus scroll preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79, CNN reports. Known as PHerc. 1667, the scroll is one of a library of texts found in the eighteenth century at a villa in the ancient city of Herculaneum. Information from PHerc. 1667 was gathered with a CT scan and then the papyrus was virtually unrolled. Advanced artificial intelligence, trained to identify ink on the papyrus, then detected 20 columns of text on the nearly five-foot-long scroll. “Today—after years of interdisciplinary work combining advanced imaging, artificial intelligence, academic...

In the Peruvian Amazon, the Shipibo-Konibo people (sometimes also spelled Shipibo-Conibo) have made their home around the verdant Ucayali River basin for millennia. Their visual culture is richly informed by their belief systems and the environment in which they live, where foraged clay, wild cotton, and plants used to make pigments have sustained a steadfast artistic tradition known as Kené. The exhibition Akinananti at White Cube illuminates the work of artist Sara Flores, whose meticulous patterns rendered with organic, handmade inks continue an ancient Indigenous tradition. The gallery says, “In the Shipibo language, ‘Akinananti’ describes work done together with love and joy—a practice and...

GUAREÑO, SPAIN—According to an article in The Greek Reporter, the wheels and parts of a 2,500-year-old miniature bronze chariot have been discovered in a monumental building at the Tartessian site known as Casas del Turuñuelo in southwestern Spain. In the area where the chariot parts were found, archaeologists had previously uncovered an altar shaped like a bull hide. The ceremonial vehicle is thought to have been used to hold embers, burned incense, or aromatic resins. It features bronze components joined with iron fittings; a central iron axle; and decorations on the frame resembling twisted rope, two griffins, and Achelous, a Greek river god who is portrayed with bull-like horns and a protruding tongue....

Assyrian stele in situ, Nineveh, Iraq MOSUL, IRAQ—The National reports that an Assyrian stele that stood more than six feet tall has been uncovered near the Sun Gate in the eastern wall of the ancient city of Nineveh by a team of archaeologists from Iraq and the University of Chicago. Ali Obaid Shalgham of Iraq’s State Board of Antiquities said that the marble stele dates to the seventh century B.C., during the last years of the Assyrian Empire. Although the cuneiform text on the stele has not been fully translated, it is thought to record building projects carried out by King Ashurbanipal, who ruled Assyria from 668 to 631 B.C. He is shown in relief on the front of the monument, while two other Assyrian...

A figure carrying a small suitcase crosses the gangplank onto an ocean liner. A woman stands amid a city street, waiting for a tram. And a man in a fedora heads toward historic steps in what is perhaps a European city. Yet if you look a little closer, you’ll see the roofs resemble milk cartons. The tram rolls in amid books stood on end. And in the distance beyond the docked ships… a giant coffee mug? Since 2013, Derrick Lin has created miniature dioramas on his desk. Hand-painted figures inhabit settings constructed from cardboard and found objects, often with a nostalgic twist. And in a nod to the the tableaux’s tiny characteristics, he playfully pops in references to the scale of the real world, hence...

Nella mostra Le ferite di Bologna, curata a Villa delle Rose da Ludovico Pratesi, Marco Bassan e Chiara Lorenzetti (Spazio Taverna) per il Settore Musei Civici del Comune di Bologna, dieci artisti italiani di diverse generazioni affrontano altrettanti traumi cruciali della storia bolognese. L’esposizione si configura come un viaggio analitico e catartico attraverso dieci traumi storici che hanno segnato la coscienza civile della città, in cui ogni artista è stato invitato a confrontarsi con una specifica “ferita” cittadina operando su un unico, identico supporto: un foglio di carta artigianale Amatruda. La texture materica della carta si fa...

Bones recovered from Wonderwerk Cave show varying stages of burning, from unburnt (#1, at left) to most burnt (#5, at right). TORONTO, CANADA—Science News reports that evidence for the oldest use of fire by hominins has been uncovered in South Africa’s Wonderwerk Cave by a team of researchers led by Michael Chazan of the University of Toronto. The discovery pushes back the known use of fire by hundreds of thousands of years, based upon traces of fire use dated to one million years ago that had been discovered in the same cave. “I’m very comfortable saying it was between 1.7 and 1.8 million years ago,” Chazan said. He and his colleagues used a luminescence-based method of dating on burned bones from...

PAPHOS, CYPRUS—The Cyprus Mail reports that Claire Balandier of Avignon University led a team of researchers who investigated the 2,000-year-old defense system of the ancient city of Nea Paphos, which is located in southwestern Cyprus. First, the team members identified traces of a 2,000-year-old square tower carved into bedrock on Fabrika Hill in Kato Paphos, the city’s port. They also found the floor of a second defensive tower near what had been the city’s northwestern gate. An underground water system was unearthed near the city’s theater. Water flowed in a rock-cut channel situated over an underground storage gallery. This system was altered during the Roman period, when a well was added and water...

Cosa accade al ritratto quando non riesce più a sostenere la propria immagine, quando essa si ritira prima di formarsi del tutto, o diventa così materialmente densa da non poter più essere vista come immagine? Questa domanda è al cuore di Between Silence and Surface. The Appearance of Skin, curata da Tetiana Bairaka all’Ukrainian Art House di Londra (18 maggio – 30 giugno 2026). Riunendo i lavori dell’artista ucraina Alina Pyatnova, nota come Limpika Lilac, e dell’artista britannico Anthony-Noel Kelly, la mostra esamina il ritratto ai limiti della visibilità, posizionando il medium come un sito di tensione tra iper-presenza e dissoluzione. Attraverso i loro distinti trattamenti della pelle,...

In Alexis Trice’s dreamy worlds, ethereal looking fish, hounds, shells, and clouds mingle and sparkle like jewels in a crepuscular haze.

Like sand passed through our fingers, though, their seemingly solid forms vanish […]
