• Storm King Becomes a Sensation: Why the Upstate New York Sculpture Park Is Now a Destination

  10-11-2020 22:31 via artnews.com
  
  Right now, the view from atop Museum Hill at the Storm King Art Center is one of the most sought-after vistas in Upstate New York. No doubt its natural surroundings are part of its allure: the picturesque Hudson Valley is visible below.

  There are indoor galleries nearby, but Storm King isn’t a museum in any static se

• Mary Wollstonecraft Monument in London Generates Controversy

  A sculpture dedicated to Mary Wollstonecraft, an 18th-century English writer, philosopher, and women’s rights advocate, is stirring controversy after its debut in London’s Newington Green park today. The public work by artist Maggi Hambling features a nude woman atop an abstracted silvered-bronze form, and it is the result of a 10-year-long fundraising campaign.
