New York auctions, James McNeill Whistler at Tate Britain, Edvard Munch—podcast

This episode of The Art Newspaper's podcast 'The Week in Art' covers three major stories: the spring auction results in New York, which saw record prices for works by Jackson Pollock, Constantin Brancusi, and Mark Rothko; the opening of the largest James McNeill Whistler exhibition in Europe in over 30 years at Tate Britain in London, which will later travel to the Van Gogh Museum and The Mesdag Collection in the Netherlands; and a feature on Edvard Munch's 1922 frieze from the Freia Chocolate Factory, currently on loan to the Munch museum in Oslo for the exhibition 'Edvard Munch and the Chocolate Factory.'

A New Residency Aims to Give Indigenous Artists the Tools to Make Art in Neon

The Walker Youngbird Foundation, a Native-led nonprofit, has launched a new residency program in collaboration with Lite Brite Neon Studio in Kingston, New York, aimed at giving Indigenous artists the opportunity to create work in neon for the first time. The inaugural resident is Sarah Rowe (Ponca Tribe of Nebraska), a painter and installation artist selected from over 100 applicants. The residency is valued at around $50,000 per cycle, covering fabrication, travel, lodging, a $10,000 stipend, and full ownership of the artwork and intellectual property. The program was inspired by foundation founder Reid Walker's acquisition of neon works by artists such as Watt and Jeffrey Gibson.

Fraudster trying to sell fake ancient statues to Sotheby’s foiled over bogus invoices

A fraudster named Andrew Crowley, 46, attempted to sell fake ancient statues to Sotheby's, claiming they were inherited from his grandfather. The items—three Cycladic figures and one Anatolian stargazer statuette—were valued at up to £680,000 if genuine. However, the scheme unraveled when forensic analysis revealed that the accompanying invoices, purportedly typed in 1976, were produced using printing methods invented in 2001. Sotheby's experts also spotted spelling errors. Crowley received a two-year suspended sentence after admitting to making a false representation to the auction house.
