10 art historical deep dives

Artnet News published a roundup of 10 art historical deep dives from 2025, curated by an editor who expresses a deep passion for art history. The article highlights several featured stories, including the eccentric tale behind Carl Kahler's monumental cat painting "My Wife's Lovers" (1891), commissioned by Gilded Age patron Kate Birdsall Johnson; the record-breaking sale of Gustav Klimt's "Portrait of Elisabeth Lederer" for $236.4 million at Sotheby's New York, with its rich symbolism and Imperial Chinese motifs; the online resurgence of August Friedrich Schenck's obscure 19th-century painting "Anguish" (ca. 1878), popularized by TikTok; and the centenary of F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" with a deep dive into Francis Cugat's iconic cover art "Celestial Eyes" (1924).

sleep artist lee hadwin

Artist Lee Hadwin creates elaborate drawings and paintings while sleepwalking, with no memory of making them. His nocturnal creativity began at age four and intensified at 15 when he produced three pencil drawings of Marilyn Monroe overnight. Now based in London, Hadwin has made hundreds of works while asleep, selling them for $1,500 to $10,000 each. His art is currently featured in a sleep-themed exhibition in Albury, Australia, and he is working on a book titled *The Awakening*.
