Comment | Tate Britain’s Turner and Constable show got me thinking about Marxist art history

The author recounts traveling from Scotland to London to see Tate Britain's exhibition "Turner and Constable: Rivals and Originals," despite costly and slow train travel. The article also covers the Old Master sales at Sotheby's, Christie's, and Bonhams, noting mixed results: a Flemish triptych sold for £5.7m, a Hans Eworth portrait set a record at £3.2m, and a Gerrit Dou fetched £3.8m, while a Panini capriccio lost value since 2005.

Olivia Laing's novel "The Silver Book" is set in 1974 Italy during the Years of Lead, following Nicholas Wade, a young Slade graduate who becomes the lover and apprentice of costume and set designer Danilo Donati. Donati is working on Federico Fellini's "Casanova" and Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Salò," and the story explores their creative and erotic relationship against a backdrop of political turmoil. Laing's prose is vignetted and elliptical, focusing on daily acts of filmmaking and the sensual world of the characters.
