Hyperallergic's April 2026 Issue Features Dali's Religious Art and Major Art News

The April 2026 issue of Hyperallergic includes an analysis by Ed Simon of Salvador Dalí's religious paintings, which combine quantum physics and Catholic faith in a style termed 'nuclear mysticism.' One of his crucifixion works was physically attacked twice. The issue also covers several art world developments: sculptor Melvin Edwards, known for abstract works addressing slavery's legacy, died at 88; Marica Vilcek, an advocate for immigrant artists and scientists, died at 89; thieves stole $10 million worth of paintings by Renoir, Cézanne, and Matisse from a museum in northern Italy; and Colorado may establish the first Artist Corporations to protect intellectual property and healthcare for cultural workers. Additional content includes an interview with an anonymous woman featured in gallery press photos, a Raphael exhibition at The Met curated by Carmen C. Bambach, and artist Emily Drew Miller using matzah to explore divisions within the Jewish community. The issue also lists April art shows in New York City, Los Angeles, and Upstate New York, along with opportunities for artists and writers.
