Are These Lost Malevich Masterpieces—or $190 Million Fakes?

An exhibition at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Bucharest (MNAC) features three purportedly long-lost paintings by Kazimir Malevich, valued between $160 million and $190 million. The works, loaned by Israeli businessman Yaniv Cohen, were allegedly stored under the mattress of his grandmother-in-law, Eva Levando, for decades. However, Ukrainian-American art historian Konstantin Akinsha has publicly questioned their authenticity, citing incomplete provenance and a lack of consensus from international experts. The museum has faced criticism for including the paintings without additional scholarly analysis in the show "Kazimir Malevich: Outliving History," curated by Mariana Dragu and sponsored by a dental clinic owned by Cohen.

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.
