Korean artists are gaining unprecedented global recognition, with figures like Haegue Yang, Do Ho Suh, Lee Bul, and Mire Lee leading a shift from traditional Dansaekhwa abstraction to more conceptual and contemporary practices.

Works by Charley Toorop, one of the first female painters to admire Van Gogh, go on show in the Netherlands

An exhibition titled "Charley Toorop: Love for Van Gogh" opens at the Kröller-Müller Museum in the Netherlands (24 May-14 September), showcasing 60 works by Charley Toorop (1891-1955), one of the first female painters deeply influenced by Vincent van Gogh. The show, curated by Renske Tervaert, draws on the museum's extensive Toorop and Van Gogh collections, supplemented with loans, and highlights how Van Gogh's work shaped Toorop's art, particularly in the early 1920s. A key focus is her 1924 portraits of patients at the Willem Arntsz Medical Asylum for the Insane in Utrecht, where she painted three powerful works after a traumatic marriage to Henk Fernhout, who had been institutionalized there. The exhibition also explores personal connections: Van Gogh's brother Theo was treated and died at the same facility, and Toorop's still lifes echo Van Gogh's motifs, such as her use of knives alluding to domestic strife.

When—and why—did Van Gogh paint a pair of crabs?

An article explores the story behind Vincent van Gogh's still life "Two Crabs," revealing that the two crabs are likely the same individual—a female Cancer pagurus missing its first pair of walking legs. Paul Clark, a crustacean specialist at London's Natural History Museum, confirmed the sex based on the broad abdomen visible in the painting. The work is on long-term loan to London's National Gallery, where it was recently redisplayed as part of the gallery's major rehang ahead of the Sainsbury Wing reopening on May 10. The article also traces the painting's provenance: it was the first Van Gogh bought by a British collector, William Cherry Robinson, in 1893 for 200 guilders, later sold at auction in 1906 for half that amount, and eventually resold at Sotheby's in 2004 for £5.2 million to an anonymous collector who lent it to the National Gallery.

Art Dubai, running until 20 April, opened as the first major art fair since US President Trump announced global tariffs that nearly triggered a financial crisis. Sales were solid, with most works priced in the low six figures or thousands, insulating the fair from market anxieties. A divide emerged between regional SWANA galleries—which presented the strongest booths—and international galleries from the US, Europe, and Latin America, which seemed uncertain about what to bring. Notable sales included works by Rana Begum, Mehdi Ghadyanloo, Ali Cherri, and Shaikha Al Mazrou, while galleries like Sfeir-Semler, Vigo Gallery, and Experimenter reported strong results.
