• Actions Speak Louder than Words: Louise Bourgeois at the Jewish Museum

  26-08-2021 23:14 via artnews.com
  
  Psychoanalysis is not dead. Merely repressed, it has returned, with a vengeance, to the Jewish Museum. “Louise Bourgeois: Freud’s Daughter” contains a smattering of the artist’s macabre sculptures, paintings, and drawings, but also—more freakily—eighty-two pages from her journals. It’s like an art exhibition turned inside-out, with books’ worth of text, text, text broken up by the occasional artwork. You’ll never be so relieved to see a head

• Beyond ‘The Dinner Party’: How Trailblazing Artist Judy Chicago Made Space for Women

  26-08-2021 22:48 via artnews.com
  
  While living in Fresno, California, during the early 1970s, Judy Chicago undertook a research project focused on female artists throughout the ages. These days, such an initiative hardly seems revolutionary—many books have since been published about pioneers by historians like Linda Nochlin, Griselda Pollock, Mary Garrard, and more. But at the time, art history as it existed in the U.S. was almost exclusively focused on the achievement of white males based in Europe and New York. Chicago s

• Rijksmuseum Discovers That New Acquisition Is by ‘Father of Dutch Sculpture’

  26-08-2021 20:47 via artnews.com
  
  The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam has now found that a 14th-century wooden sculpture added to its holdings this past March is the work of Claus Sluter, who is often termed the “father of Dutch sculpture.”
  Titled Calvary, the small-scale boxwood figure was made in the Netherlands between 1384 and 1482, and stands at nearly two feet high. It depicts the crucifixion of Christ with Mary and John the Evangelist. The Amsterdam museum purchased it from a dealer in Munich for an undisclosed sum.

  Portrait of Teju Cole.
  I have been especially busy this year as I worked on finishing two books. Black Paper had a long gestation period because it includes essays from a span of many years. In it, I contemplate shadows and darkness—and, of course, the color black—all of which have strongly positive aspects for me. Darkness, for example, can be used as a form of protection in the wild. Ultimately, these are all essays that emerged in response to Donald Trump’s presidency. But t
