The move raises concerns about the sustainability of the mega-gallery model. Meanwhile, a Yale Review piece questions 21st-century creativity, but innovations like carbon-fiber violins and metrology for authenticating Van Gogh paintings suggest invention is happening in new places. A new Authors Guild study shows U.S. authors' incomes continue to decline. Glenn Close will finally receive an honorary Oscar after eight nominations over four decades.
