Extra, extra, read all about it! There’s no shortage of art news this morning, starting with two van Gogh paintings “souped” at London’s National Gallery on Friday in a protest over the sentencing of two climate activists for a similar action two years ago. Meanwhile, in Chile’s Atacama Desert, ancient geoglyphs are being damaged by off-road racing in a concerning pattern that experts say is nowhere near under control. Also today, read Staff Reporter Maya Pontone’s dispatch from the Affordable Art Fair in New York City, where she finds something for everyone. And in Los Angeles, Matt Stromberg has the story about a new home for an art center dedicated to the legacy of Corita Kent, the beloved nun, artist, and social justice activist. Fresh out the oven: our Chicago and Atlanta art guides, filled with exhibition recommendations not limited to blockbuster shows, hand-selected by our editors and contributors. |
