'HEAD STRETCH' at Andrew Kreps Gallery, 394 Broadway, New York, United States on 24 Apr–20 Jun 2026

Andrew Kreps Gallery in New York presents 'Head Stretch,' a group exhibition featuring Felipe Barsuglia, Allan Gandhi, Luciana Maas, Flora Rebollo, Gokula Stoffel, and Erika Verzutti. The show is rooted in a shared studio building in São Paulo called 'Predinho,' where friendships and creative exchanges among the artists led to the exhibition. The title reflects diverse interpretations: from craning to see another's work to the stretched proportions of figures in paintings, and the expansion of perspective through community. Works by the six artists, including paintings, sculptures, and drawings, are installed in ways that create new associations, with Verzutti inserting her own pieces to open them to fresh readings.

are museums spending enough marketing new report 1234762683

A new report from Remuseum, an initiative of the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art funded by collector David Booth and the Ford Foundation, reveals that American museums are struggling with post-pandemic visitation declines and rising costs, yet they invest less than three percent of their operating budgets on marketing—comparable to mining and construction industries. The report contrasts historical resistance to marketing, exemplified by former Met president William Luers, with the Getty's Harold Williams, who embraced it. Case studies from the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Peabody Essex Museum show how museums can use audience personas to boost attendance, but current spending remains far below the 13.9 to 18.7 percent of revenues that consultant Colleen Dilenschneider says is needed to reach full market potential.

The Louvre has indefinitely postponed the competition to select an architect for its expansion project, Louvre—Nouvelle Renaissance, just days before the jury was set to vote on a winning proposal. Announced by French President Emmanuel Macron in January 2025, the $778 million plan aimed to ease overcrowding at the museum, which hosts 9 million visitors annually, by creating a new entrance, upgrading infrastructure, and controversially building a dedicated 33,000-square-foot gallery for the Mona Lisa. Five firms—Amanda Levete Architects, architecturestudio, Dubuisson Architecture, Sou Fujimoto, and STUDIOS Architecture—had been shortlisted. The postponement follows staff walkouts, a leaked memo detailing structural issues, and a high-profile theft.

philadelphia art museum rebranding 2743304

The Philadelphia Museum of Art is reversing its controversial rebranding decision, abandoning the name "Philadelphia Art Museum" and the acronym "PhAM" after widespread backlash. The museum will retain its new griffin logo but restore the original name, Philadelphia Museum of Art, across all platforms. The rebrand, developed with Brooklyn design studio Gretel at a cost of $1 million, was rolled out less than four months ago but met with public mockery and internal turmoil. The reversal follows the firing of CEO Sasha Suda, who filed a lawsuit over her ouster, and the appointment of Daniel Weiss, former CEO of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as her successor. Chief marketing officer Paul Dien also resigned amid the fallout. The board voted unanimously to undo the name change after a survey commissioned by an interdisciplinary task force.

The sketch, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, features a marker outline of a naked woman with Trump's apparent signature placed where her pubic hair would be. Trump has denied creating the drawing, claiming he has never drawn, and has filed a $10 billion libel lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal and its owner Rupert Murdoch. The New York Times compared Trump's signature on the drawing with his correspondence from 1987 to 2001 and found they "closely matched."
