Book uncovers the life of Barnett Newman, an artist who ran for New York mayor

A new biography titled "Barnett Newman: Here" by Amy Newman (no relation) explores the life of Abstract Expressionist painter Barnett Newman, revealing his little-known 1933 run for mayor of New York City at age 28 under a platform of cultural and environmental reforms. The book details his upbringing as the son of Jewish immigrants in the Bronx, his philosophical studies, and his eventual reinvention as a painter who pioneered the 'zip' painting style with works like Onement I, while also chronicling his combative personality and lifelong battles against political machines and critics.

From imps and goblins to the glitchy digital world: Flora Yukhnovich on her ‘cacophony’ of inspirations

Flora Yukhnovich, the British artist known for her large-scale gestural paintings that blend Rococo and Abstract Expressionism with digital aesthetics, discusses her inspirations and recent move from London to New York. Her works have achieved record auction prices, including £2.7m at Sotheby's in 2022, but she prefers to focus on the art itself. She has upcoming exhibitions at The Frick Collection in New York and Hauser & Wirth in Los Angeles, and her new series 'Four Seasons' references François Boucher's 18th-century paintings while incorporating glitchy, pixelated effects from digital collages created on her iPad and phone.
