| Good morning. Our upcoming member-only event is dedicated to an age-old art-world tradition, one so enigmatic, so obscure, that only a select few hold the key to its lore … I’m talking about studio visits, of course. On April 29, curators Kimberli Gant, Candice Hopkins, and Caroline Liou will join Hyperallergic’s Editor-in-Chief Hrag Vartanian for a virtual conversation that aims to demystify some of the different facets of the studio visit dynamics, suggesting ways for everyone involved to get the most of what can be a pivotal moment in an artist’s career. Become a member to join — you’ll also be supporting our ongoing commitment to independent journalism. In the news today, questions around the BBC’s decision to reinstall a notorious artwork, a budding union at the Toledo Art Museum, and a tacky Trump portrait that speaks to his massive ego. And we’ve got lots more to read in this edition: Nancy Zastudil on a new book that explores Georgia O’Keeffe’s late works through the lenses of gender, class, race, and modernity; Faye Hirsch on the deceptively simple paintings of Judith Linhares; and Nancy Kricorian’s interview with pioneering Lebanese photojournalist Aline Manoukian. — Valentina Di Liscia, News Editor | | |
