If you pay attention to art-world headlines, you may have noticed the mysterious death of Lucien Smith last month at the age of 37. If you had an eye on the market in the 2010s, you may remember that Smith was widely hailed as a wunderkind, fresh out of art school, when his cartoony landscape adapted from an animated Disney “Winnie the Pooh” film sold at a Phillips auction for $389,000. “It was first featured in his senior thesis show at Cooper Union’s school of art in New York,” noted the New Y

Because many readers of this newsletter are in one way or another connected with the visual arts, I expect the revelation that the greatly esteemed writer Alice Munro had ignored her daughter’s sexual abuse did not register as major news in quite the same way that it shocked the literary community. In July of 2024, two months after Munro’s death, the daughter, Andrea Skinner, published a piece in The Toronto Star about how Munro’s second husband, Gerald Fremlin, had repeatedly abused Skinner as
