Work of late Wilmington artist sees surge of national attention with 2 touring exhibits

The work of late Wilmington artist Minnie Evans is featured in two separate national exhibitions. One show, "The Visionary Art of Minnie Evans," is currently at the Boston Museum of Fine Art after opening at The Gund museum at Kenyon College, while a larger exhibition, "The Lost World: The Art of Minnie Evans," will open at Atlanta's High Museum of Art in November 2025 before traveling to New York's Whitney Museum in summer 2026. Evans, a self-taught artist who worked at Wilmington's Airlie Gardens and died in 1987, gained initial recognition in the 1960s after being discovered by photographer and art historian Nina Howell Starr, but had not been the subject of a major national gallery show since the 1990s.

Head of Carter museum in Fort Worth is leaving after 14 years

Andrew J. Walker is stepping down as executive director of the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth after 14 years. His tenure included launching a community artists initiative, overseeing a major renovation, and acquiring works by over ten Indigenous photographers. The museum also faced controversy last fall when it temporarily closed the exhibition "Cowboy" without explanation, later reopening it with a "mature content" label—a decision artist Rafa Esparza called censorship. Scott Wilcox, the museum's chief operating officer, will serve as interim leader while a search for a new director begins.

Chicken buckets, baked beans, liters of coke: the final meals of death row inmates

Artist Julie Green spent 22 years painting the last meals of 1,000 death row inmates on ceramic plates, resulting in the exhibition "The Last Supper" at the Boise Art Museum.

The Dreamers Gallery, owned by Adèle Jancovici, opened nearby. The galleries participate in a community event called Nocturnal Animals, which encourages residents to visit both spaces, located just two blocks apart.

The column reflects on how the rapid succession of artworks and ideas from these institutions—ranging from the Art Institute of Chicago to the Cleveland Museum of Art—creates oblique connections and correspondences, both among the works themselves and between art and the outside world. Smee describes the experience as anything but an escape, as the art continually mirrors real-world events and emotions.

LACMA’s US$720m David Geffen Galleries expansion to open in 2026

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) has announced that its long-awaited David Geffen Galleries expansion will open in April 2026, over two decades after the project was first announced in 2001. Designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor, the $720 million serpentine structure spans Wilshire Boulevard and replaces several older buildings, increasing gallery space from 130,000 to 220,000 square feet. The project faced numerous setbacks, including public criticism of the design, concerns over the nearby La Brea Tar Pits, the discovery of sabre-toothed tiger skulls during construction, pandemic delays, the departure of longtime donor The Ahmanson Foundation, and Zumthor's distancing from the project in 2023 due to cost compromises. A series of soft openings are planned for summer 2025 before the full public debut.
