The wildfires in Los Angeles continue to rage, burning some structures to the ground while forcing art and cultural institutions to close their doors. Read our report today for the latest updates.

Meanwhile, Pittsburgh's troubled Andy Warhol Museum gets a new director after the last one resigned last year. Also today: Renée Reizman on Joseph Beuys and toxic masculinity, AX Mina on Taiwanese artist Tong Yang-Tze's calligraphy at The Met, Tamar Boyadjian on the textile-based speculative futures of Levon Kafafian, and more. — Hakim Bishara, Senior Editor | |
