An Emotional Show in Ghana Marks the Return of Looted Asante Culture from the UK
via artnews.comRepatriation ceremonies tend to be bureaucratic affairs done for show—the deal to return a looted artwork is conducted long before the object is actually handed over to its rightful owner. But earlier this month, when objects related to Asante culture made their way back to Ghana after about a century and half abroad, many were deeply affected.Ivor Agyeman-Duah, the lead negotiator for Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the monarch of the Asante Kingdom, described the historic occasion as &l -

Rachel Martin’s Humorous Art Filters Indigeneity and Femininity into Sly Drawings Grounded in Centuries-Old Techniques

Billionaire Calls for Removal of ‘Unflattering’ Portrait from National Gallery of Australia
via artnews.comGina Rinehart, the richest person in Australia, has reportedly called on Canberra’s National Gallery of Australia to take down a painting of her by Aboriginal artist Vincent Namatjira.It wasn’t immediately clear what had moved Rinehart, a donor to the National Gallery of Australia, to make the request, but it was clear, at least, that Namatjira’s portrait was viewed as being not the kindest representation of her. Both the Guardian and the Sydney Morning Herald used the word &ld -

Despite still reeling from a cyberattack, Christie’s held two major sales that totaled $114.7 million on Tuesday night.

Jonathan Yeo’s portrait of Charles III review – a formulaic bit of facile flattery
via theguardian.comA psychedelic sea of lurid reds and a clunking monarch butterfly cannot save this superficially observed and carelessly executed bland banalityIt’s hard to be objective about an artist you like as a person. I recently met the painter Jonathan Yeo – whose portrait of King Charles has been unveiled in a storm of crimson hype – on a radio show and was instantly charmed. It’s easy to see why famous people enjoy being portrayed by Yeo. He’s intelligent, relaxed, unassumi -

From $120,000 bananas to gold toilets: art provocateur Maurizio Cattelan is back

He’s not a painter or a sculptor, per se. His speciality is imaginative provocation, the art of the conceptual joke. A life-size, hyper-realistic sculpture of Pope John Paul II felled by a meteor in La Nona Ora, for example, his eyes closed in et -

The house lowered the lights so as to showcase a glowing Felix Gonzalez-Torres light bulb sculpture that glowed as it hung in the room. It was just one of a number of dramatic moments in a night of mixed results for the house. On the upside, records were set for Diane Arbus, Gonzalez-Torres, Reggie Burrows Hodges, Ana Mendieta, and Martin -
