Artist Tanda Francis created the bespoke mannequin heads for the Costume Institute's spring 2025 exhibition "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The exhibition, organized by guest curator Monica L. Miller in collaboration with Andrew Bolton, explores how Black communities across the Atlantic diaspora have used fashion and suiting as tools of self-definition, resistance, and storytelling from the 18th century to today. Francis based her mannequin on Congolese political thinker André Matsoua, a figure associated with militant Black dandyism and the Sapeur movement.

vladimir kanevsky frick collection porcelain

The Frick Collection has reopened after a $220 million, five-year renovation, featuring a new installation called "Porcelain Garden" by Ukrainian-born artist Vladimir Kanevsky. The display includes over 30 handcrafted porcelain floral pieces, such as a lemon tree, lilies of the valley, and a wild artichoke, placed alongside masterpieces by Vermeer, Rembrandt, Goya, and Bellini. Kanevsky, a 74-year-old Jewish-Ukrainian émigré who moved to New York in 1989, originally trained as an architect and turned to porcelain as a side project, which unexpectedly became his career. All the flowers at the Frick have been sold, with prices ranging from $5,000 to $500,000, though his secondary market remains minimal.

megastar artist kent monkman is rewriting colonial narratives on canvas

Kent Monkman, a member of the Fisher River Cree Nation and a leading contemporary painter based between Toronto and New York, is the subject of a feature article discussing his career and his first major U.S. museum exhibition, "History is Painted by the Victors," opening at the Denver Art Museum. Monkman is known for epic, genre-bending canvases that subvert classical European painting traditions, particularly 19th- and 20th-century history painting, to expose colonial distortions and omissions. Central to his work is Miss Chief Eagle Testickle, his time-traveling alter ego who queers history and repositions Indigenous presence and agency. The article includes an interview where Monkman reflects on his upbringing in Winnipeg, his relationship to museums, and how painting serves as both a political tool and a method for processing historical trauma.
