**Wa Lone** and **Kyaw Soe Oo**, journalists, were found guilty and sentenced to **seven years in prison** by a Myanmar court. They have been in detention for over eight months under the colonial-era Official Secrets Act. The two had been investigating **ethnic violence against Muslim** **Rohingyas** in Rakhine state, Myanmar. **Reuters** (for whom the journalists had been investigating and writing) [reports that the hearings reveal a lack of evidence](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-myanmar-journalists-explainer/facts-on-the-arrest-of-reuters-reporters-wa-lone-and-kyaw-soe-oo-idUSKBN1EY2S4?ref=hyperallergic.com) and testimony on behalf of a police officer that blatantly admits the writers were deliberately framed by authorities for their supposed conspiracy against the state. The two received the 2018 [**PEN/Barbey Freedom to Write Award**](http://email.pen.org/c/eJwtjk2qwzAQg0-T7BzG%5F%5FbCi0Lbe4ztcRJeWgc3EHL7uvBACwn0IeVgLGrnxzUI4A48SFBCgZr4pMDw-wOe4i7cA6QdFOz0nmqbxyU4w1Ms3AlldNIpKiJFGdF5zyOYPG5hOY79M8jbIJ5d%5F2h3vyHWI4vYIl2sNKJcX-xs60EMT2yZnci2-ib2d-HJPpVYrZ0cW1gazv3Icu3UcNuozWuaUn2NRzDRFlmS87FopZO3ul%5FiXkgntYbCe8USTz6mKHUmICcMOgkCi8ygwEb5BWwkUGA?ref=hyperallergic.com), which recognizes imprisoned writers targeted for exercising freedom of speech.

On September 2, a [devastating fire ripped through the ](https://hyperallergic.com/national-museum-brazil-rio-burns-in-fire/)[**National Museum of Brazil**](https://hyperallergic.com/national-museum-brazil-rio-burns-in-fire/) in Rio de Janeiro, leaving its renowned collection smoldering. The palace, founded in 1818, was the oldest scientific institution in Brazil, and housed the **oldest human fossil** in existence in the Americas. Dinosaur remains, the largest Egyptian collection in Latin America, and a number of other precious artifacts were damaged by the flames.

Two Dutch museums, the **Van Gogh Museum** in Amsterdam and the **Mauritshuis** in The Hague, have [ended their years-long partnerships](https://hyperallergic.com/as-dutch-museums-stop-accepting-fossil-fuel-money-oil-companies-eye-uk-museums/) with oil and gas company, **Royal Dutch Shell**. For years, Netherlands-based organization “Fossil Free Culture,” opposed the relationship between Dutch art institutions and the multinational oil corporation, hosting multiple performance art protests.

A controversial sculpture of **President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan** of Turkey was erected — [and quickly removed](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/29/world/europe/germany-erdogan-statue-removed.html?ref=hyperallergic.com) — as part of Germany’s **Wiesbaden Biennale**. The mayor of Wiesbaden chose to remove the statue, citing security concerns after protests broke out surrounding the statue. Though the bienniale has ended, curators **Magdalena Ludewig** and **Martin Hammer** say the project [could still be reinstalled](https://www.monopol-magazin.de/projekt-erdogan-statue-noch-nicht-beendet?ref=hyperallergic.com), as they have a three-month permit to host it in the space.

Artist **Luke Turner**, well known for his work on ***HEWILLNOTDIVIDE.US*** with **LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner**, [announced his withdrawal](http://luketurner.com/athens-biennale-2018-withdrawal/?ref=hyperallergic.com) from the [**Athens Biennale**](http://athensbiennale.org/?ref=hyperallergic.com), citing enabling of antisemitism and fascism in the art world following a series of confrontations. In response to Hyperallergic’s queries, the Biennale sent a statement saying, “Its organizers and curators are actively participating in struggles against fascism and anti-semitism, among other issues. Our institution will not censor different strategies and opinions on how to deal with these urgencies.”

The museum **Moderna Museet Stockholm** will [return a portrait by **Austrian expressionist Oskar Kokoshka**](https://www.thelocal.se/20180904/sweden-returns-artwork-looted-by-nazis-to-jewish-family?ref=hyperallergic.com), “Marquis Joseph de Montesqui-Fezenac,” to the family of **Alfred Flechtheim**. In 1933, the entirety of Flechtheim’s Dusseldorf gallery was confiscated by a member of the Nazi Party’s brownshirts, and purchased by the Swedish museum in 1934\. The return comes after years of investigations.

**Nadim Sheiban**, director of the **Museum for Islamic Art in Jerusalem**, has [denounced Benjamin Netanyahu’s nation-state law](https://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/jerusalem-museum-director-blasts-israel-s-nation-state-law?ref=hyperallergic.com) that refuses Arabic as a national language. “Our museums should be proactive and try to influence what’s going on, and \[show art that\] speaks to and interacts with the community,” he told *The Art Newspaper*. Sheiban is the first Palestinian Arab director of an Israeli Museum.

In June 2019, **Art Basel Switzerland** will institute a new [**sliding-scale pricing model**](http://www.artnews.com/2018/09/03/art-basel-reworks-booth-fees-smaller-galleries/?ref=hyperallergic.com) which enables larger galleries to pay more and allows smaller galleries to pay less. Two-thirds of participating galleries are expected to pay an average of 13% less, while the remaining galleries can expect to pay around 4% more.

Art auction company, **Bonham’s**, has been [purchased by a private equity firm](https://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonydemarco/2018/09/04/bonhams-sold-to-private-equity-firm/?ref=hyperallergic.com#76b2fe6861f4), **Epiris**. **Bruno Vinciguerra**, the former COO of **Sotheby’s**, will become Bonhams new executive chairman under the transition.

A pair of ruby slippers worn by **Judy Garland** in her role as Dorothy in **The Wizard of Oz** was [recovered by the **FBI**](https://www.courthousenews.com/stolen-wizard-of-oz-slippers-found-after-13-years/?ref=hyperallergic.com) after they were stolen 13 years ago from the Judy Garland Museum in Minneapolis. Those responsible for the heist remain unknown.

Swiss police seized a collection of artifacts from **Ali Aboutaam**, co-founder of **Phoenix Ancient Art**, under allegations of **illegal trading**, One of the objects taken included a sculpted animal believed to be from Mesopotamia, when in fact, had been [crafted by Aboutaam’s 11-year-old daughter](https://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/swiss-prosecutor-returns-mesopotamian-terracotta-animal-made-by-dealer-s-11-year-old-daughter-along-with-5-000-other-seized-antiquities?ref=hyperallergic.com). The sculpture, inscribed “With love, for Daddy,” was later returned. About 6,000 artifacts (valued at $8 million) remain in police possession.

The Department of Culture and Tourism in Abu Dhabi has [postponed the unveiling](https://twitter.com/dctabudhabi?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1036481469647073280%7Ctwgr%5E373939313b73706563696669635f73706f7274735f616374696f6e&ref%5Furl=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.artnet.com%2Fart-world%2Flouvre-abu-dhabi-postpones-display-salvator-mundi-1341950&ref=hyperallergic.com) of **Leonardo da Vinci’s “Salvator Mundi.”** “More details will be announced soon,” the organization said.

The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden has been gifted 50 major historical works by Marcel Duchamp from Washington, DC collectors Barbara and Aaron Levine. The Levines are also donating more than 150 books on Duchamp, dating from the late 1930s through the present. Included among these books are first editions and rare catalogs. “We have been collecting conceptual art for a good part of our lives and have been involved with the Hirshhorn for nearly 20 years,” said Barbara and Aaron Levine. “This donation of art gives the public access to our collection of Duchamp works that we have lived with and loved.” These works will be on display in the fall of 2019 in an exhibition “examining \[Duchamp’s\] artistic evolution,” according to the press release. \[via email announcement\]
