"We are thrilled that the partnership of DGRI, KCAD, and the City of Grand Rapids is stepping forward to continue to produce an incredible fall event."Via Detroit News&nbsp;<a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/ct-ent-jerry-saltz-art-is-life-chicago-20221031-3tk6btvtrfcyzmcmapm7met3py-story.html">The Chicago origin — and breakdown — of Jerry Saltz, the everyman’s art critic</a>Decades before he became arguably the most important art critic in America, long ago when print was king and being the most important art critic in America meant having the gravitas to influence the direction of the art world itself, Jerry Saltz vowed to stand outside of the art world looking in. Being from Chicago helped. Having a minuscule studio near the Red Line in the Loop helped. Meeting <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/museums/ct-ent-0119-freed-collection-chicago-outsider-art-sale-20180115-story.html">outsider Chicago artists</a> like Joseph Yoakum and Lee Godie, and having grown up without much art at all, helped. Becoming a self-taught artist, and showing more affinity early on for the ancient art in the Field Museum than the celebrated art movements splashed across the Art Institute, that helped, too. As Saltz would write many years later, he loved that the Field was full of art removed from the burdens and judgments of the art world.Via Chicago Tribune&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/architecture-innovator-2022-jeanne-gang-studio-american-museum-natural-history-11666730917?st=gr6qkwgzdcv0ojh&amp;reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink">The Architect Behind New York’s Most Exciting New Building</a>This past spring, architect Jeanne Gang stood on the western edge of the natural history museum’s campus and watched as concrete spewed into the air through mechanized nozzles, clotting like wet snow around skeletons of wire and steel rebar to form the substance of her firm Studio Gang’s latest building. More like a landscape carved by wind and water than any kind of human creation, the six-story structure at West 79th Street and Columbus Avenue flows out of an opening between a clutch of existing buildings and announces itself to the world through a 65-foot-tall portal of glass, beckoning to be explored.Via WSJ&nbsp;<a href="https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/andy-warhol-sothebys-car-crash-painting-sale-1234644632/">Monumental Warhol ‘Car Crash’ Painting to Sell at Sotheby’s for More Than $80&nbsp;M.</a>An Andy Warhol painting from his famed “Death and Disasters” series will be auctioned during Sotheby’s marquee New York sales, where it could become one of the most expensive works by the artist ever publicly sold.Estimated to fetch a price in excess of $80 million, White Disaster (White Car Crash 19 Times), from 1963, will be sold on November 16 during a contemporary art evening sale. It is headed to auction without a financial guarantee, which means that there is still the possibility that it may not find a buyer.Via ARTnews&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hyde Park Art Center expands its Publications Program with integration of Green Lantern Press&nbsp;CHICAGO (October 17, 2022) Hyde Park Art Center is thrilled to announce that Green Lantern Press (GLP)–an artist-run publishing house dedicated to the support, production, and dissemination of contemporary art, poetry, and philosophy–will become the Art Center’s in-house publisher. The merger integrates GLP into the Art Center’s existing Publications Program, which crystallizes the Art Center’s role as a critical presenting institution for emerging and mid-career artists in Chicago through exhibition catalogs and documentation, while building on GLP’S legacy of fostering dynamic dialogues between artists and writers.Moving forward, all of the Art Center’s exhibition catalogs and publications will be published by GLP and disseminated through GLP’s national distribution network. Additional projects supporting emerging art writers and experimental projects will be curated by the Art Center and produced by GLP for local and national distribution. Past GLP publications will continue to be circulated by Hyde Park Art Center.

<a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/inside-the-secret-very-expensive-world-of-hollywoods-star-art-collectors">Inside the Secret, Very Expensive World of Hollywood’s Star Art Collectors</a>In the 30-odd years Barbara Guggenheim has worked as Tom Cruise’s art adviser, a theme has been established: “He collects works that are very intense, that have a lot of movement and that are very positive, and I think that that’s who he is,” Guggenheim told The Daily Beast.No kidding—over a career spanning decades, Cruise has solidified his reputation as one of the hardest-working, hardest-driving actors in the blockbuster business; a relentless force of nature who propelled Top Gun: Maverick, the juggernaut sequel to the ’80s classic, to box office Valhalla this year and who also once jumped for joy on Oprah’s couch.Very little is known about Cruise’s art trove. Guggenheim, invoking her role as a fiduciary, declined to answer specific questions about the size and contents of the actor’s collection. Undeniably, though, for celebrities of Cruise’s caliber, even the reported existence of a robust yet mysterious art collection can communicate creative dexterity in a way few other material things can.Via The Daily Beast&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/09/26/the-case-of-the-disputed-lucian-freud">The Case of the Disputed Lucian Freud</a>“After I bought the painting, I went home and put it in the rest of my collection and I forgot about it,” Omar told me in French when we met, earlier this year, at an expensive hotel on the lakefront in Geneva. He wore a Harrods baseball cap and was carrying a plastic bag. For years, Freud’s searching, candid portraits went against the overwhelming appetite of the contemporary art market, which was for abstraction. Although he was a famous painter in England, in part because of his surname (Sigmund, his grandfather, went to London as a refugee in 1938), Freud was a respected rather than a fashionable artist in Europe. In 2002, Omar watched a program about his career on Swiss television, which prompted him to learn more about the painting. So he put it on eBay.Via The New Yorker&nbsp;<a href="https://news.artnet.com/art-world/artist-derrick-adams-is-known-for-depicting-black-people-at-leisure-now-he-wants-to-create-a-residency-dedicated-solely-to-rest-2185467">Artist Derrick Adams Is Known for Depicting Black People at Leisure.

But it’s been weeks since the cultural institutions first met with the city and Chicago Park District to air the issue, and they’re still awaiting promised details about which streets will be closed for how long and whether there will be any risk to priceless but fragile objects in the Art Institute from vibrations and loud noises from racing stock cars.Via Crain's Chicago&nbsp;<a href="https://onmilwaukee.com/articles/calatrava-returns?utm_source=OnMilwaukee.com+Newsletters&amp;utm_campaign=78c097bbbc-EMAIL_DAILY_DIGEST&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_ecd5e3eef5-78c097bbbc-200932933">Calatrava returns to celebrate 20th birthday of his Milwaukee masterpiece</a>We call the Milwaukee Art Museum’s Quadracci Pavilion “The Calatrava” so much that it’s perhaps easy to forget that Santiago Calatrava is a living, breathing person.Twenty-one years after the opening the striking pavilion – the Spanish architect’s first building in the United States – Calatrava returned to Milwaukee on Wednesday for a 20th anniversary moment delayed by the pandemic.Via OnMilwaukee&nbsp;<a href="https://www.chicagobusiness.com/residential-real-estate/frank-lloyd-wright-house-near-racine-sale">Frank Lloyd Wright house near Racine for sale for first time ever - Owner was also owner of Perimeter Gallery</a>A house that Frank Lloyd Wright designed in 1954 for a member of the family that owned Johnson Wax is for sale for the first time since it was built.The low-slung six-bedroom house, part of which is cantilevered over a bluff beside the Root River in Mt.

These 3 Facts About Her Most Famous Portrait Will Make You Think Again</a>In terms of art history, Queen Elizabeth II is undoubtedly one of the most captured visages of our time. She has sat for more than 200 official portraits and been snapped in photographs by countless photographers. While images of the royal family are smattered across contemporary media, royal portraiture is, itself, an ancient art: Monarchs since the days of ancient Egypt have sent their likenesses to the farthest corners of their empires, and to foreign dignitaries as well, in highly choreographed propaganda campaigns. In England, courtiers often commissioned commemorative paintings to underscore their devotion to the ruler, particularly in the first Elizabethan era.&nbsp;Via Artnet, June 2022&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/queen-elizabeth-ii-paintings-photographs-portraits-11662760389">How Queen Elizabeth II Used Art to Shape Her Image</a>Queen Elizabeth II was one of the most visually scrutinized and recorded people in history, and she shrewdly used that to manage her image over her 70-year reign—even though a handful of artists sought to subvert it.&nbsp;When Britain’s longest-serving monarch died Thursday, she left behind a museum’s worth of photographs and painted portraits. London’s National Portrait Gallery catalogs at least 1,000 images of the queen in its collection, nearly all reflecting the way she wanted to be seen as a modern-day royal.Via Wall Street Journal&nbsp;<a href="https://hyperallergic.com/759540/bird-photographers-of-the-year-2022/">Bird Photographer of the Year Winners Capture Feathered Wonders</a>Despite much Internet speculation to the contrary, birds exist. If you can’t find proof of this by looking out your window, the results are in for the 2022 Bird Photographer of the Year awards, and these bird images should set the controversy to rest. From purple-crested Turacos that appear to be kissing or maybe fighting (or both?) to peacefully sleeping penguins and curious owlets, this year’s honorees have captured moments in avian life that also speak to us, their human admirers.Via Hyperallergic&nbsp;</body></html>

Driehaus MuseumFocusing on Adler &amp; Sullivan’s Chicago buildings of the 1880s and early 1890s, the exhibition will explore the firm’s architecture through the lens of Nickel’s photography, which provides a detailed record of these buildings and, in particular, Sullivan’s signature ornamentation. The exhibition will highlight the integral role Nickel played in preserving Sullivan’s legacy—the photographer’s work is all that remains of many of Adler &amp; Sullivan’s major buildings—while ultimately losing his life in an effort to salvage artifacts during a demolition.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419101/k2nxodufz5povw80q9f3.jpg"></figure><a href="https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/world-that-awaits">World that Awaits</a>Opening: Friday, August 26, 6 – 10&nbsp;pmMu GalleryA group exhibition that includes work by Chicago-based artists Kayla Anderson, Scott Kemp, Sofia Diaz Fernandez, Cody Norman, Jungwoo Lee, and FÁTIMA, curated by Amay Kataria.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419102/p9ye4yjvcphdagwk0idf.jpg"></figure>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/nick-cave-and-jack-cave-the-color-is-a-fashion-exhibition">Nick Cave and Jack Cave: The Color Is: A Fashion Exhibition</a>Exhibition begins August 27The DuSable Museum of African American HistoryIn partnership with the MCA Chicago and the groundbreaking retrospective exhibition “NICK CAVE: FOROTHERMORE,” which is currently on view at the MCA until October 2, 2022.&nbsp; This is the first time that these works of art will be installed publicly and the DuSable is the first museum in the world to ever exhibit Nick Cave’s or Jack Cave’s “fashion art.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dfafo598z/image/upload/v1721419103/siy8xafewpufvrtrhnn7.jpg"></figure>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.chicagogallerynews.com/events/zen-blues-visual-ponderings-mixed-media-cyanotypes-by-colleen-steenhagen">Zen Blues &amp; Visual Ponderings.

These provide not only educational information on an important period of history, but also a chance to reflect on the state of both nations today. In doing so, artistic responses can help us to consider partition as an ongoing process; an act that is continually reperformed and still shapes the futures of both countries.Featured is Chicago's own South Asia Institute (<a href="https://www.saichicago.org/exhibition/pritika-chowdhry-unbearable-memories-unspeakable-histories">Unbearable Memories, Unspeakable Histories</a>, South Asia Institute Chicago (until 10 December))&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/art-and-medicine-intersect-in-new-york-city-hospitals">Art and medicine intersect in New York City hospitals</a>It's one of the largest public art collections in the country, and it's not where you might expect to see it.
