In Prague, the long-term future of Alphonse Mucha’s ‘Slav Epic’ hangs in the balance

Alphonse Mucha’s monumental 20-painting series *Slav Epic*, completed in 1928, has never received the permanent exhibition space in Prague that the artist demanded when he donated the work to the city. For decades the series has been displayed in Moravský Krumlov, and its current loan there was recently extended to 2031. Plans to install the Epic in a vaulted underground space designed by Thomas Heatherwick as part of Crestyl’s Savarin development have stalled due to permitting delays, though Crestyl now expects construction to begin in 2025 and open in 2029. Meanwhile, legal disputes persist: John Mucha (the artist’s grandson) had threatened to revoke the city’s ownership, and another granddaughter, Jarmila Mucha Plocková, has challenged the proposed location as unworthy.

Asian painters were ‘othered’ in Paris a century ago. Now, the art world is taking note

A new exhibition at Singapore's National Gallery, "City of Others: Asian Artists in Paris, 1920s-1940s," highlights the experiences of Asian painters who worked in Paris during the interwar period. These artists, including Le Pho, Sanyu, Tsuguharu Foujita, Liu Kang, and Georgette Chen, faced marginalization and exoticized expectations from European critics, who dismissed their work as either not "Asian" enough or insufficiently Western. Despite these challenges, they produced significant bodies of work blending Eastern and Western traditions.

Jarzynka has since expanded his curatorial work, including curating exhibitions for The Portal Art Gallery at Bakery Square in East Liberty since February 2024.

A $1 million restoration, funded by the museum's fire insurance and overseen by director Denise Elphick, focused on cleaning soot and rehabilitating the concrete, while adding heat-resistant windows and enhanced security.

Exhibition | Fran Siegel, 'Arrábida' at Wilding Cran Gallery, Los Angeles, United States

The exhibition features multi-panel compositions, cyanotypes, and drawings that investigate the botanical motifs of traditional Portuguese azulejo tiles.

An anonymous bidder has won the solution to the final unsolved puzzle of Kryptos, a famous encrypted sculpture at CIA headquarters in Virginia, for $962,500 in an online auction by R.R. Auction. The artist, Jim Sanborn, offered the handwritten code for the fourth message (K4) along with other unpublished items and a prototype, far exceeding the presale estimate of $300,000–$500,000.

mfa boston david drake vessels restitution

The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston has restituted two large-scale ceramic vessels by David Drake, an enslaved potter, to his known descendants. The works—a "Poem Jar" and a "Signed Jar," both from 1857—were acquired by the museum in 1997 and 2011 respectively. On October 16, the MFA deaccessioned the jars and transferred ownership to Drake's descendants via the Dave the Potter Legacy Trust. The museum then repurchased the "Poem Jar," which re-entered the collection on October 23, while the "Signed Jar" remains with the family on long-term loan to the museum. The decision followed discussions prompted by the exhibition "Hear Me Now: The Black Potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina," co-organized with the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
