Huang Yong Ping Dies at 65; Ed Clark Mourned; MoMA Protests; Polly Staple to Tate
On Saturday, Huang Yong Ping, a Chinese-French artist, passed away at the age of 65. In the 1980s, he was at the forefront of the Xiamen Dada group and became a French citizen in 1999, following his stay in France after the Tiananmen Square protests. That same year, he represented France at the 48th Venice Biennale. The late American painter Ed Clark was known for his innovative shaped canvases and held an exhibition at Hauser & Wirth in New York. Meanwhile, protests against board members Larry Fink and Steven Tananbaum interrupted a private preview of the renovated Museum of Modern Art in New York. Polly Staple will take on the role of Director of Collection, British Art at Tate, while Andrea Lissoni will lead Munich's Haus der Kunst. Additionally, three individuals were arrested in connection with the burglary of Cattelan's golden toilet.
