Why is the French government spending millions on art no one sees?

The French government agency Centre national des arts plastiques (CNAP), established in 1982 to support living artists and collect their work, has come under scrutiny following two opposing government reports. A July white paper by Martin Bethenod recommended refocusing CNAP's acquisitions on France-based artists and galleries, while a November report from the Cour des Comptes by Julien Aubert found the agency financially fragile and redundant, noting that 24,472 works—one quarter of its collection—have never been exhibited. Aubert recommended closing the CNAP by 2030, sparking backlash from over 1,000 art professionals who signed an open letter criticizing the ideological attack on public cultural service.

Louvre staff vote to strike, citing failures of management and building maintenance

Staff at the Louvre Museum in Paris voted unanimously to strike, with rolling walkouts set to begin on December 15.

The strike follows a series of incidents, including the theft of the French crown jewels in October, a forced closure of the Campana Gallery due to structural issues, and a water leak that damaged hundreds of books in the Egyptian antiquities library.

Climate report from Getty’s PST Art programme urges cultural organisations to confront exhibitions’ impacts

The Getty has released a comprehensive climate impact assessment of its PST Art initiative, titled Art & Science Collide (2024-25), based on its inaugural Climate Impact Program (CIP). Developed with climate adviser Laura Lupton and artist Debra Scacco, the program provided webinars, guidance, and networking to participating institutions, with over two-thirds completing a climate impact report. Key findings show that air travel and air freight of art are the most carbon-intensive activities, and shifting to sea freight could reduce total emissions by 18%. Many institutions reduced waste through simple, low-cost changes, with some committing to permanent sustainability practices.

Affected institutions include the Musée du Louvre, Château de Versailles, Grand Palais, Musée d’Orsay (where visitors were allowed in freely), Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, Panthéon, and Musée Picasso. The strike, supported by the CGT union, also led to closures at dozens of other monuments and institutions across the country, with demonstrators protesting outside the office of Culture Minister Rachida Dati. Separately, the Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux is closed for two years for renovations, and the planned loan of the Bayeux Tapestry to the British Museum has been postponed due to the strikes, raising concerns about the embroidery's fragility.

Artist Flees Thailand After China Exerts Influence on Museum Exhibition

The show, titled "Constellation of Complicity: Visualizing the Global Machine of Authoritarian Solidarity," included works by Tibetan, Uyghur, and Hong Kong artists. Following demands from the Chinese embassy, transmitted through Thai authorities, the center removed sensitive artworks, obscured artists' names, and covered flags and references to Tibet, Hong Kong, and Xinjiang. Sai and his wife, who co-curated the exhibition, were allegedly told Thai police were looking for them, though police denied this.

French government adopts bill for restitution of colonial-era objects

The French government has adopted a bill that facilitates the restitution of cultural objects plundered from former colonies, eight years after President Emmanuel Macron pledged to return African heritage. Presented by Culture Minister Rachida Dati, the bill maintains that French public collections are inalienable but creates an exemption for items taken by force between 1815 and 1972. Restitution requests must come from foreign states, be for public preservation and display, and involve items allegedly stolen, looted, or sold under duress. A bilateral scientific committee will examine each case, with final approval from the Conseil d'État. The bill aims to replace the current slow, case-by-case legislative process that has resulted in only 30 objects returned since 2017.
