A little dust never hurt anyone—unless, perhaps, you’re trying to date a Vermeer. Conservation work on Young Woman Seated at a Virginal, the only Vermeer still in private hands, has uncovered a layer of 17th-century air pollution between layers of paint that helped date the rare Old Master picture, according to The Art Newspaper. Specifically, feldspar particles—byproducts of the booming Delftware ceramics industry in Vermeer’s hometown—were trapped in the composition, likely after it was first set aside. Their presence suggests Vermeer returned to the canvas years later to add the yellow shawl draped over the sitter’s bodice. That final touch may make Young…

Courtesy of the Dallas Art Fair.Thankfully, there were no vacant walls at the Dallas Art Fair 2025 when its VIP preview opened on Thursday, April 10th. The preceding week had been a “flutter of nerves,” according to the fair’s director, Kelly Cornell: President Trump’s April 2nd announcement of sweeping tariffs on U.S. imports, and their potential implications for the art trade, presented…
“Do Remember They Can’t Cancel the Spring,” artist David Hockney told the world in March 2020, just as lockdown for the Covid-19 pandemic began. That sentiment was in full swing, in the early days of spring now five years later, throughout the artist’s just-opened survey at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris (on view through August 31). Spanning all four floors of the museum, the current exhibition is the largest ever devoted to the British artist, whose work was last surveyed in Paris at the Centre Pompidou eight years ago. The 11-room presentation consists of over 400 objects, from paintings…
Disney+ has a new feature-length documentary called Not Just a Goof, a look at the making of A Goofy Movie, which has become one of the most improbable nostalgic favorites of the Disney company’s ’90s output. A big reason why the film remains so beloved, the doc argues, is the passion and perspective of its director, Kevin Lima, who is interviewed at length in the movie.The whole documentary is worth a look if you enjoy A Goofy Movie (and who doesn’t enjoy A Goofy Movie???) but one sequence really stands out because it immediately enters the ranks of all-time classic stories about absurd studio executive ideas.As Lima tells…
Nonuya artist Abel Rodríguez, the Artsy Vanguard alum known for representing the plants and animals of the Colombian Amazon in meticulously detailed drawings, has died in Bogotá. On Thursday, his representing gallery, Instituto de Visión, announced the artist’s passing on Instagram. Don Abel, as he was also known, was in his 80s or 90s (his birth year has been reported inconsistently: his CV lists 1941, but Instituto de Visión’s website states that he was born in 1934). “Don Abel, a wise and generous teacher, leaves a rich legacy of knowledge, deep roots, and a profound love for life and the…
Graffiti artist and painter Lady Pink will create a new public mural on the facade of MoMA PS1 in Queens, New York City. Her work will inaugurate the museum’s new annual Plaza Mural program, which opens on June 26th and will be on view through spring 2026. Lady Pink was selected by a jury of Queens-based cultural leaders, including independent curator Camila Palomino; Lindsey Berfond, assistant curator at the Queens Museum; and Isabella Bustamante, founder of Long Island City’s Teen Art Salon. The mural will incorporate typical elements of Lady Pink’s practice, such as the New York City skyline and…
The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, generally considered the top art museum in that city, named its new director and CEO on Thursday, the museum announced in a press statement. Pierre Terjanian, 56, the museum’s current chief of curatorial affairs and conservation, will take up the role starting in July. Terjanian was picked after a seven-month search and succeeds Matthew Teitelbaum, who has been the director since 2015. “The predominant feeling is the excitement,” Terjanian told the New York Times. “This is a great institution, and it has a big part to play in Boston, in New England and beyond.”…
These days, we all just want to come home at the end of the day, sit back on our comfy couch, and unwind by watching the most stressful medical drama show we can find. The good news is there are tons of them, each more high-octane than the last, curing any delusions we might have had that we would be able to hold it together while staffing an emergency room full of screaming patients.Maybe it’s the thrill of the claustrophobic yet exciting environment, maybe it’s the schadenfreude of “well at least that’s not happening to me,” but doctor shows are…
Presenting interdisciplinary research and sharing concerns about their discipline, members of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies met in Chicago April 3-6, 2025. This annual international conference always intrigues with its imaginative POV on film and film-like phenomenon in world culture. Subjects included cop body cameras, podcasts, AI-generated jokes and AI-generated fake faces to anonymize interviewees in documentaries, and the history of the myth that movie theaters once banned popcorn because noisy munching would distract audiences from reading intertitles and hearing dialogue. The nonprofit’s membership numbers 3,148 from 39 countries. Prominent in the roster of 1,688 presenters were locally…
