One Fine Show: “Anselm Kiefer, Becoming the Sea” at the Saint Louis Art Museum

The Saint Louis Art Museum has opened “Anselm Kiefer: Becoming the Sea,” an exhibition featuring 40 works by the German artist from the 1970s to the present, including over 20 pieces made in the last five years and five monumental site-specific paintings. The show highlights Kiefer's 1991 journey up the Mississippi River during a visit to St. Louis, a formative trip that inspired new works such as the 30-by-27-foot painting *Missouri, Mississippi* (2024), which depicts the artist encountering the Melvin Price Lock and Dam in Alton, Illinois. The exhibition also includes pieces like *Die Milchstraße* (1985-87) and two works dedicated to beat poet Gregory Corso, whose lines about eternal life gave the show its title.

art bites doges palace fire

The Doge's Palace in Venice has suffered multiple fires over its history, with the most devastating occurring in 1577. That blaze destroyed the Great Council Chamber, consuming irreplaceable artworks including a 1365 fresco by Guariento di Arpo, portraits of past doges by Titian, and paintings by Tintoretto, Vittore Carpaccio, Pisanello, Bellini, and Paolo Veronese. The fire's cause remains unknown, but its impact was catastrophic due to the chamber's concentration of highly valued Renaissance paintings.

61st Venice Biennale: Cultural workers and artists strike and protest against the Israeli genocide in Gaza

Thousands of artists, cultural workers, and protesters marched through Venice on May 8, 2026, one day before the opening of the 61st Venice Biennale, to protest the Israeli genocide in Gaza and Lebanon. The strike, organized by the Art Not Genocide Alliance (ANGA), led to the closure of approximately 27 of the Biennale's 100 national pavilions, with signs reading "We Stand with Palestine." The Israeli pavilion remained closed and guarded by armed police, who clashed with protesters. Meanwhile, the European Commission threatened to suspend €2 million in EU grants to the Biennale Foundation over its decision to allow Russia to participate, citing incompatibility with EU sanctions and the invasion of Ukraine.
