Singapore cements its role as a hub for art—and artists—in Southeast Asia

Singapore is solidifying its position as a central hub for Southeast Asian art, supported by government initiatives, established institutions like the National Gallery Singapore and Singapore Art Museum, and major events such as Art SG, the Singapore Biennale, and Singapore Art Week. While other regional hubs like Jakarta, Bangkok, and Manila are growing, Singapore uniquely fosters a pan-Southeast Asian focus, attracting collectors and artists from across the region. However, recent closures of smaller independent spaces like Sàn Art in Saigon and Your Mother Gallery in Singapore, along with the absorption of S.E.A. Focus into Art SG, have impacted the independent scene, though new venues such as Bangkok Kunst-halle and Vũ Dân Tân Museum offer fresh opportunities.

Jewish collector's heirs revive Nazi loot claim to Van Gogh Sunflowers painting

Heirs of Jewish banker and collector Paul von Mendelssohn-Bartholdy are appealing a lower court's dismissal of their lawsuit against Japanese insurer Sompo Holdings over Vincent van Gogh's painting *Sunflowers* (1888-89), valued at $250 million. The plaintiffs—Julius H. Schoeps, Britt-Marie Enhoerning, and Florence von Kesselstatt, representing over 30 beneficiaries—claim the work was sold under Nazi pressure in 1934.
