Former MoMA chief voices concern for future of non-profit US museums

Glenn Lowry, the influential former director of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, expressed deep concern that non-profit U.S. museums could lose their tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status under the Trump administration. Speaking on the podcast "The Art World: What If…?!" hosted by Charlotte Burns, Lowry warned that the federal government is prepared to exert significant power to achieve its ambitions, potentially revoking the tax exemption that he calls the "magic wand" behind America's robust cultural programming. His comments follow a House bill passed in November that would allow the Treasury Secretary broad powers to revoke non-profit status, though the bill has stalled in the Senate.

Austrian dealer Thaddaeus Ropac opened a new gallery in Milan on September 20, capitalizing on Italy's newly reduced 5% VAT on art imports—the lowest in the EU—and an influx of wealthy expats from London following the UK's abolition of non-dom tax status.

In Xie Lei’s Work, the Uncanny Becomes Painting

Chinese-born, Paris-based painter Xie Lei has spent nearly two decades perfecting what he calls a 'poetics of the strange' in his canvases, which feature ghostly, gender-ambiguous figures in ambiguous situations—such as a kiss that could also be an act of suffocation. His works, which draw on memory rather than live models, will be exhibited at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris in September 2025. Xie cites influences ranging from classical Western painters like Delacroix and Goya to French authors Albert Camus and Jean Genet, as well as psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva and Chinese writers Zhuang Zhou and Pu Songling.

Nicholas Galanin pulls out of Smithsonian event, claiming censorship

Nicholas Galanin, a multidisciplinary artist and member of the Sitka Tribe of Alaska, withdrew from a symposium hosted by the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM), citing government censorship. The symposium accompanies the exhibition *The Shape of Power: Stories of Race and American Sculpture*, which President Donald Trump labeled as “divisive” and “race-centred” in a March 27 executive order. Galanin alleged that the event was made private with a curated guest list and that he was asked not to record or share it on social media. SAAM denied the censorship claims, stating the event was never publicly listed and that participants were encouraged to share with their networks. Galanin’s 2016 work *The Imaginary Indian (Totem Pole)* is featured in the exhibition.
