This week, studios in California, Illinois, Rhode Island and New Zealand.

Here at Hyperallergic we remember the days when The New Museum, and their then chief curator Richard Flood, were most commonly associated with an unfortunate statement that equated bloggers with prairie dogs. Those out-of-touch days are no longer and as fate would have it, Mr. Flood even blogs!

Since his passing in 1669, Rembrandt has had a vibrant second life selling cigars and teeth whitening kits. His "artsploitation" — like that of monk turned liqueur Fra Angelico — offers a cautionary tale in a world searching for untapped and undefended brand equity. Social media reveals the odd cult

A few of the locals intermingled with the art world of New York City and Miami in the huge Barn-like building of Basilica Hudson on the outskirts of the town where NADA held its 2012 Hudson art fair.

Even the word "sex" is often too straightforward, so we rely on euph

From now through September 12, upon entering the gallery Luxembourg & Dayan, which is housed in a townhouse on the Upper East Side, you will see a series of colorful paintings based on patterns of lace. Deeply beautiful, the paintings work well in the posh, pristine interior — they seem to fit their
Opinion
This week, Syrian heritage under threat, invisible art, Franz West remembrance, Etsy's feminist disappointment, Ai Weiwei as Warhol, fashion criticism and more.
Poetry
Out of the amazing trifecta of early modernist French poets, Stéphane Mallarmé is probably the least read and least translated. That’s partly down to the genuine difficulty of his writing, but then the language of Baudelaire or Rimbaud is hardly of the most transparent either; the real difference ma
