Good morning. Today, we remember the German-British painter Frank Auerbach, who passed away on Monday at age 93.
Good morning. Today, we remember the German-British painter Frank Auerbach, who passed away on Monday at age 93. Read Michael Glover’s poetic piece, which pays tribute to the artist’s intimate portraiture and London city scenes. In reviews, our critics offer meditations on the natural world, with Louis Bury on art depicting industrialization along the Hudson River and Faye Hirsch on Judy Pfaff’s jungle of artificial houseplants. And what edition is complete without another art forgery ring exposure? An Italian police investigation uncovered over $212 million worth of fakes — Warhols and Monets and Basquiats, oh my! Read on for more, including a major Penny Siopis retrospective in Athens and the surprising World Building of the Year awardee. It can feel exhausting to crack open a new book as we inch closer to the holidays, so our team put together a short, sweet art reading list to light your path through November. Enjoy. — Lakshmi Rivera Amin, Associate Editor | |
