Luigi this, Luigi that. Just when I thought I was tired of hearing about the accused UnitedHealthcare CEO killer, Ed Simon swooped in with his signature acuity and an art-historical perspective on Luigi Mangione’s perp-walk photos that you can’t read anywhere else.
Today, we’re also proud to present our list of the 50 best art shows we saw around the world this year. Hear why they made the cut below, with an introduction by Reviews Editor Natalie Haddad.
Also in this edition: the courtroom artist documenting Mangione’s trial, a new film that Joel Christensen calls a CliffNotes Odyssey, and much more. Happy reading and happy Monday! — Lakshmi Rivera Amin, Associate Editor
