Berggruen Arts & Culture to open Venice's first major art space for more than a decade
VENICE.- Palazzo Diedo, Venice’s first major new space dedicated to contemporary art for more than a decade, launches with the unveiling of site-specific commissions by 11 internationally acclaimed artists - Urs Fischer, Piero Golia, Carsten Höller, Ibrahim Mahama, Mariko Mori, Sterling Ruby, Jim Shaw, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Aya Takano, Lee Ufan and Liu Wei - on 20 April 2024.

KÖNIG GALERIE presents a solo exhibition by Spanish painter, Jorge Galindo
BERLIN.- KÖNIG GALERIE is presenting ONE FINE DAY, a solo exhibition by Spanish painter, Jorge Galindo, his first with the gallery. Eight paintings made of oil and glued wallpaper on canvas, all created between 2022 and 2024, display the breadth and visual intricacy of Galindo’s large tableaux, combining both found material and large, gestural brushwork. For over four decades, Galindo has been refining and expanding his artistic practice with these elements and ONE FINE DAY offers a concentrated view into the latest iterations of Galindo’s unique pictorial language. The title of the exhibition, ONE FINE DAY, is taken from The Chiffons’s 1963 song of the same name and offers a memento for Galindo of the auspicious working conditions in his studio in Porto, Portugal. The studio is both the site of production and a motif within Galindo’s practice, ... More

Walmart wants to teach store managers compassion
BENTONVILLE, AR.- On a stormy afternoon in Bentonville, Arkansas, a Walmart regional manager recounted a story about a moment when his humanity came up short. He was 24-year-old store manager anxiously trying to get his workers to set up Halloween merchandise displays. Instead, the workers were gathered around the televisions in the electronics department. It was the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. “Why are we over here not setting up Halloween? Why is it not done yet?” he recalled saying. He didn’t fully understand what was happening until a worker tearfully laid into him, explaining that she had relatives in New York City. “I didn’t take a minute to survey the room to understand the ramifications of my words and my actions,” the former store manager, David Seymore, now a regional vice president at Walmart, told his listeners. “I grew up really fast that day.” ...

Phoebe Philo breaks her silence
LONDON.- The last time Phoebe Philo, who has been called “the Chanel of her generation,” gave a formal interview was a decade ago. The designer, whose work offered women respite from the limits of the male gaze, has never been all that interested in explaining herself. “I say most of what I feel, and most of what is worth me saying, through what I make,” she offered recently. Although she became famous for transforming both Chloé and Celine, she walked away from the industry almost seven years ago and pretty much dropped out of sight. When she returned, late last year, under her own name, she did so to sky-high expectations and with a succinct, online-only offering of practical pieces for complicated characters who are unapologetic about their idiosyncrasies and inner lives. Quite a lot like “Phoebe” herself, as she is generally ... More

A seal's spray adds a chapter to the science of spitting
NEW YORK, NY.- On Jan. 3, 2022, Clare Jacobs, a bird-watcher, was delighted to spot a rare white-tailed eagle, or Haliaeetus albicilla, at a nature reserve on the Isle of Wight in southern England. These birds, also known as sea eagles or ernes, vanished from the region some 250 years ago, but more than two dozen birds have been released on the island since 2019. Jacobs trained her camera on the eagle when she noticed something moving in the water below it: a grey seal. The large mammal popped out of the waves and opened its mouth. “It made me jump,” Jacobs said. Then the seal spit a stream of water at the raptor. Although Jacobs didn’t realize it immediately, this was highly unusual. Seals had never been seen spitting before, and reports of interactions between these two apex predators are essentially nonexistent. Jacobs’ photos ... More

Margaret Grade, whose California inn was beloved by stars, dies at 72
NEW YORK, NY.- Margaret Grade, a California neuropsychologist who made a sharp career turn to open a cozy, eclectic inn near the Point Reyes National Seashore that was known for tending to farmers and fishers with the same attentiveness it gave to the film stars and writers who sought sanctuary there, died Feb. 28 in San Francisco. She was 72. Grade was injured in a car accident in Marin County on Jan. 11. She spent several weeks in a hospital before she died there of complications related to her injuries, said her brother Matthew Grade, a physician. The introverted Grade acknowledged that she was a most unlikely innkeeper. “If they put me in the front, I would be bad for business,” she said in a 2003 interview with the San Francisco Chronicle. She also admitted that when she opened her inn, Manka’s Inverness Lodge, she didn’t have the ... More

How does Paris stay Paris? By pouring billions into public housing
PARIS.- The two-bedroom penthouse comes with sweeping views of the Eiffel Tower and just about every other monument across the Paris skyline. The rent, at 600 euros a month, is a steal. Marine Vallery-Radot, 51, the apartment’s tenant, said she cried when she got the call last summer that hers was among 253 lower-income families chosen for a spot in the l’Îlot Saint-Germain, a new public-housing complex a short walk from the Musée d’Orsay, the National Assembly and Napoleon’s tomb. “We were very lucky to get this place,” said Vallery-Radot, a single mother who lives here with her 12-year-old son, as she gazed out of bedroom windows overlooking the Latin Quarter. “This is what I see when I wake up.” Public housing can conjure images of bleak, boxy towers on the outskirts of a city, but this logement social was built in the former offices ...

One of the world's finest copies of Superman's debut in 'Action Comics' No. 1 soars to Heritage Auctions this April
DALLAS, TX.- Among its boundless treasures, Heritage’s April 4-7 Comics & Comic Art Signature® Auction offers two versions of Superman’s origin story, each historic in its own right. First, there’s the tale even the casual observer knows by heart, in which an infant from a doomed, distant planet is rocketed to Earth and grows up to find he possesses “titanic strength,” which he uses to “benefit mankind.” That’s the brief outline offered on the first page of the first issue of Action Comics No. 1, published in the spring of 1938. Heritage has the honor of offering one of the world’s finest copies of Action Comics No. 1 in this historic event: one of only four pedigreed copies — this one, from the Kansas City Pedigree — and ...

Anthony Boyle is moving forward by looking backward
NEW YORK, NY.- Anthony Boyle was out of luck. He had been expelled from his Catholic boys school for “behavioral problems.” He had also been fired from his job at a nightclub after getting caught drinking while working. And so Boyle, then 16, figured it was as good a time as any to chase the dream that had begun to take shape in his head. He typed a string of words into Google search: “Belfast male acting auditions.” He eventually landed some unorthodox roles, including a part in a production of “Romeo and Juliet” that was staged on a massive chessboard and a stint in a ghost tour, in which he wore a black bag over his head and scared people by pretending to be the wrathful spirit of an 18th-century Irish revolutionary. Although Boyle would later return to school, he didn’t stop acting. “I never felt like there was another option,” he said in a recent video ... More

The day Neil Gaiman swapped his original comic art, comic books and collectibles for more than $1 million
DALLAS, TX.- Bestselling novelist and Sandman creator Neil Gaiman spent most of Thursday at Heritage Auctions’ world headquarters in Dallas, offering more than 125 prized pieces from his collection — everything from original comic artwork to signed books, a Coraline puppet used in the film to limited-edition sculptures, handmade Christmas stories given as gifts, to the awards he received. It was a day well spent: The completely sold-out Neil Gaiman Collection Comics & Comic Art Signature ® Auction, which drew more than 1,200 bidders worldwide, realized $1,029,392. A portion of the auction’s proceeds will benefit The Hero Initiative, which provides medical and monetary assistance to veteran comics creators, writers and artists needing a helping hand. Some proceeds will also go to the Authors League Fund, which assists ... More

Smoothing the path to green, block by block
NEW YORK, NY.- The sidewalks surrounding Central Park were designed to help you escape. Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, the landscape architects behind the landmark, proposed in their 1858 planning document to plant a plush line of trees to separate the sidewalk and the road “for the purpose of concealing the houses on the opposite side of the street, from the park, and to insure an umbrageous horizon line.” Hexagonal asphalt tiles were placed and granite blocks were laid out in intricate herringbone and basket-weave patterns, forming the distinctive path that is now traversed by 42 million visitors every year. The main purpose of the park’s outer sidewalk was to ensure that the second you step onto it, “you realize you’re not in the city anymore,” said Elizabeth W. Smith, president and CEO of the Central Park Conservancy. But the pavement is now a bumpy path. ... More

Flashback
On a day like today, Dutch painter Cornelis Ketel was born
March 18, 1548. Cornelis or Cornelius Ketel (18 March 1548 - 8 August 1616) was a Dutch Mannerist painter, active in Elizabethan London from 1573 to 1581, and in Amsterdam from 1581 to the early 17th century, now known essentially as a portrait-painter, though he was also a poet and orator, and from 1595 began to sculpt as well. In this image: Woman Aged 56 painted in 1594.
