Pompeii Treasures to Debut in Dallas, Kusama Dies at 97, and More
This December, the Dallas Museum of Art will present the U.S. premiere of an exhibition showcasing more than 160 artifacts from Pompeii, sourced from the National Archaeological Museum of Naples. This announcement comes on the heels of Yayoi Kusama’s passing on August 14 at the age of 97. Margarita Konovalova, a former member of Pussy Riot, alleges that Russia pressured her into spying on artists who oppose the regime. Justin Thomas has filed a lawsuit against painter Elizabeth Peyton, claiming copyright infringement related to her artwork featuring Oasis siblings Liam and Noel Gallagher. Additionally, artist Justin Blinder has developed "Ground Truth," a device for Citi Bikes that addresses wealth disparity.
