Kimbell Art Museum acquires Chardin still life after record-breaking auction sale falls through

The Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, has acquired Jean Siméon Chardin's still life *The Cut Melon* (1760) from the Rothschild family after a record-breaking auction sale at Christie's Paris in June 2024 fell through. The winning bidder, Italian real estate promoter Nanni Bassani Antivari, never paid, leading Christie's to sue him for compensation.

The work, which retains its original frame from its 1761 Salon debut, went on view at the museum on 22 May in the French still life gallery.

First look: the ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ rehang at London's National Gallery

On May 10, London's National Gallery will unveil its first full rehang of the collection since the Sainsbury Wing opened in 1991. The wing has been closed for over two years to create a larger entrance foyer. Christine Riding, the director of collections and research, oversaw the rehang, which she calls a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity. Nearly 40% of the collection—1,045 paintings—will be displayed, including 919 from the collection and 126 on loan. The rehang is sponsored by Hong Kong-based property developer C C Land and is called "C C Land: The Wonder of Art." Works by female artists have been given greater prominence, and some paintings were conserved or reframed. The chronological arrangement from west to east remains similar, but many pictures have been repositioned to highlight artistic influences across generations.
