In the mysterious and fragmented world of clothing production, “It’s really difficult to track where something is made, how it’s produced, and under which conditions,” said the Amsterdam-based artist Hendrickje Schimmel. Operating under the name Tenant of Culture, she essentially runs the production process in reverse, taking secondhand garments nearing the end of their life cycles and summarily “unmaking” them.

New York State Attorney General Letitia James has filed a lawsuit—alongside 20 other attorneys general—against the Trump administration over an executive order that effectively shuts down three federal agencies responsible for supporting libraries, museums, minority-owned businesses, and labor mediation services.

Some trends last longer than others, even in a fragmented art market. One of the most notable ones over the last year has been a spike in the market for François-Xavier and Claude Lalanne, whose whimsical sculptures of animals and plants have been the subject of nine-minute bidding wars, generating sale prices that often far exceed these works’ high estimates.
