Public art on parade in New York City this autumn (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a surreal streak in the public art that sprang up in parks and outdoor spaces across New York City this summer, including small objects rendered monumentally, otherworldly abstractions and animals reclaiming popular green spaces.

Rare view into Tom Wesselmann’s studio for pop-up duo show with Tomokazu Matsuyama (opens the original)

Read excerpt
The Department of State of the United States has removed a work by Kehinde Wiley that it commissioned for the US embassy in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and that the current ambassador recently described as a symbol of “globalist and woke ideologies”. News of the work’s removal was first reported by Zachary Small of The New York Times.
