‘It’s madness’: David Hockney blasts plans to loan Bayeux Tapestry to UK

British artist David Hockney has publicly criticized plans to loan the Bayeux Tapestry from France to the British Museum in London, calling the move “madness.” Writing in The Independent, Hockney argues that the 11th-century embroidery, which depicts the Norman invasion of England, could be damaged during transport across the English Channel, citing risks to its aged linen backing and wool threads. The tapestry is set to be displayed at the British Museum’s Sainsbury Exhibitions Gallery from September 2026 to July 2027 while its home in Normandy undergoes renovations. In response, British Museum director Nicholas Cullinan defended the loan, citing the museum’s expertise in handling ancient artifacts. The UK Treasury will insure the tapestry for an estimated £800 million, and in exchange, British treasures including the Lewis chessmen and Sutton Hoo helmet will travel to Normandy.

Remembering Frank Gehry, legendary architect of Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

Frank Gehry, the legendary architect who transformed the global architectural landscape with his deconstructivist style, has died in Santa Monica on 5 December. The article traces his career from his early days remodeling his own Santa Monica home—a controversial project that used corrugated metal, plywood, and chain-link fencing—to his rise as a Pritzker Prize winner and the creator of the iconic Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (1997). Gehry, born Ephraim Goldberg in Toronto in 1929, studied at the University of Southern California and Harvard before founding Frank O. Gehry & Associates in 1962, and spent over six decades championing buildings that embraced emotion and movement over cold minimalism.

Maurizio Cattelan's iconic 2016 gold toilet sculpture, 'America,' will be auctioned at Sotheby's on November 18, 2025, during The Now and Contemporary evening auction.
