Comment | Museums can't get enough of anniversary exhibitions—but surely there's better ways to serve the public

The article critiques the growing trend of museums mounting anniversary exhibitions to celebrate the birth or death of famous artists, using the centennial of Robert Rauschenberg as a prime example. Nearly 100 organizations worldwide are participating in Rauschenberg-related shows, from the Menil Collection in Houston to the Grey Art Museum in New York. The author notes similar patterns in 2024 for James Ensor and in 2023 for Ellsworth Kelly and Pablo Picasso, with museums often resorting to highly specific or gimmicky themes to differentiate their offerings.

Two years on from 7 October attacks, Israeli museum directors are in ‘complete isolation’

Two years after the 7 October 2023 attacks, Israeli museum directors report feeling isolated from the international art world. Tania Coen-Uzzielli, director of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, says most international collaborations were put on hold, delayed, or cancelled. The museum, which has a history of political activism, closed partially during protests against judicial reforms and has taken a public stance to end the war and suffering in Gaza. Meanwhile, the Tel Aviv-Yafo City Museum, which opened just after the attacks, shifted to documenting wartime reality and supporting artists, but has received no direct support from international colleagues. The National Library of Israel repeatedly deinstalled and secured its collections during Iranian missile attacks, reopening when safe.

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.

Georges de La Tour, once a victim of the academy’s collective amnesia, can be seen in a new light in Paris

The Musée Jacquemart-André in Paris opens a new exhibition, "Georges de La Tour: From Shadow to Light," running from 11 September 2025 to 25 January 2026. This is the first Paris show dedicated to the 17th-century French painter in nearly 30 years, featuring about 20 original works and a dozen studio pieces.

Tate Britain’s Lee Miller exhibition seeks to go beyond her mythology

Tate Britain is opening a major survey of American photographer Lee Miller (1907-77), running from 2 October 2025 to 15 February 2026. Curated by Hilary Floe, the exhibition aims to refocus attention on Miller’s artistic output rather than her storied personal life—her roles as a Surrealist, fashion photographer, war correspondent, and muse to figures like Man Ray, Pablo Picasso, and Jean Cocteau. The show presents the UK’s largest survey of her work, deliberately selecting images based on artistic merit rather than biographical illustration.

Marina Abramović will have a historic solo exhibition at Venice’s Galleria dell’Accademia in May 2026, during the art biennale.

Letter calls on Judy Chicago and Pussy Riot's Nadya Tolakonnikova to cancel Tel Aviv exhibition

More than 50 artists and cultural figures, many based in Israel, have signed a letter urging American artist Judy Chicago and Pussy Riot co-founder Nadya Tolokonnikova to cancel their collaborative exhibition "What if women ruled the world?" at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. The show, which opened last week, features a digital quilt responding to the titular question. The letter, seen by The Art Newspaper, argues that holding the exhibition in Israel makes the artists "complicit" in what the signatories describe as genocide in Gaza, citing a recent UN commission finding. Tolokonnikova stated she is not involved in the ongoing project, while Chicago declined to comment. The museum defended the exhibition as a space for reflection and dialogue, not an endorsement of any political position.
