Basel's Art Basel Future, KHM Trust Vote, Italian Casa-Musei, Steinmeier's New Residence, Jerry Gogosian Obituary
The board of KHM-Museumsverband has expressed continued support for directors Jonathan Fine and Paul Frey following an investigation led by Sieglinde Gahleitner, which found no credible allegations of mobbing against Veronika Sandbichler. Although Gahleitner identified some issues in communication, she concluded that the legal case is resolved. Meanwhile, Austria's culture ministry is contemplating the release of a partial report. In Italy, Luisa Taliento emphasizes lesser-known casa-musei like Museo Casa Mollino, Casa Museo Lodovico Pogliaghi, and Casa Museo Remo Brindisi as alternatives to larger museums. Hanno Rauterberg in Germany discusses President Frank-Walter Steinmeier's renovation plans, while Gesine Borcherdt critiques the 'Freiraum Kunst' exhibition. Concerns are rising in Basel regarding Art Basel's significance as it expands to Paris, alongside local initiatives. Magnus Resch pays tribute to the late Hilde Lynn Helphenstein.
