The Hague Convention of 1954 ensures that countries prevent theft and pillage of cultural property during armed conflict, while a protocol to that convention prevents the export of such material, requiring other countries to seize unlawful exports and repatriate them at the end of hostilities.

The seventeen paintings in 'The Adventure of Domenico Gnoli' will induce a kind of perceptual whiplash. They seem static on first approach—enlarged trousers, neckties, torsos, and furniture—but the scale of things is in constant flux.

"He taught me not to judge a work while you're making it. That whole Abstract Expressionist struggle-fighting with the paint, having a hard time, thinking, 'This painting is killing me!' He didn't believe in all that."

The nominations for the 2025-2026 Tony Awards feature a mix of revivals and new musicals, with only 11 new musicals presented this year.

Inside, exposed brick walls feature sparsely installed trophy works by top contemporary stars like Ed Ruscha, Christopher Wool, and Jenny Saville, as well as hot emerging artists Joseph Yaeger and Sang Woo Kim.

A singular, tri-color self-portrait; a bright-yellow baby's crib adorned with whimsical caricatures; a painting of a figure falling down a blue flight of stairs. Keith Haring gifted these intimate works and many others to his childhood best friend and fellow artist, Kermit Oswald, over the course of his lifetime.

We always thought of these objects as mementos of our grandmother. We had no idea they were so valuable, or had so much history. We used to dress up in the silks as children.

"This is the first time in 30 years that I've felt the need to explain myself. I think there's been a bit of confusion about the whole thing. To some people, everything is political."

Warhol's depictions of Monroe, such as his 1962 silkscreen Green Marilyn, continue to especially resonate today. The shock of Monroe's death in 1962, aged 36, compelled [Warhol] to make his first portrait of Monroe, Gold Marilyn Monroe, in which her face is enshrined like that of a Byzantine saint against a field of gold.

"It's such an exercise in triviality and an ostentatious display of wealth and power at a time when so many Americans are under serious, serious threat," Jay W. Walker, the event's emcee, told Hyperallergic.

Franklin's first diplomatic mission to England in 1757 was not to protest Royal overreach, but to demand taxes on vast tracts of Pennsylvania land.

Sung Tieu's monumental work suggests how easily one regime can be supplanted by another, cloaking the facade of the German Pavilion with a reconstruction of a communist housing complex.

Efflatoun's paintings address the hardships and oppressive conditions against which she agitated: images of textile workers at the loom; a hanged man, his hands bound behind him with rope; a mother at home with her newborn child; prisoners during her time.

We had an event for National Pigeon Appreciation Day, occasioned by a giant, hyperrealistic statue of the bird, called 'Dinosaur.' More than five thousand attended the appreciation, donning pigeon drag, pummelling a pigeon piñata, and showing off their pigeon pets, diapers, 'flight suits,' and all.

[Morrisseau] had favourite images and colours he liked to use. See that colour there? I believe that could be described as red cadmium light, used only later in his life in the 1980s. Back in the 70's, he was more of a red oxide kind of guy. And this painting is dated 1976. Suspicious.

The Master in Applied AI for Arts and Design (MAIAD) frames the algorithm as a raw material for artistic innovation and critical reflection, training a new kind of creative.

Otero describes the feeling of being part of Bad Bunny's La Casita as a sort of validation, seeing people enjoy the culture from his upbringing. The replica transported him into the subject he has been working on for so long.

Even a book by a leading expert on the avant-garde artist can't tell us much about her personal life. This highlights the challenges historians face in connecting an artist's work to their life experiences.

"The heart of TEFAF New York lies with its exhibitors. In 2026, we're proud to present a compelling lineup of dealers, both longstanding participants and an exciting group of newcomers, who represent the best across disciplines."
