VALIE EXPORT, Icon of Feminist Art, Dead at 85

VALIE EXPORT, the radical Austrian performance artist, filmmaker, and sculptor widely regarded as the most significant feminist artist of the postwar era, died in Vienna on May 14, just three days before her 85th birthday. Her death was confirmed by Thaddaeus Ropac gallery, which represents her. Known for provocative works such as *Tapp und Tastkino* (1968), in which she invited passersby to touch her bare breasts through a miniature theater, EXPORT faced hate mail, death threats, and indecency charges but remained undeterred in her mission to challenge patriarchal norms through the female body and sexual agency.

mark rothko dutch museum scratched 2637522

A large Mark Rothko painting, *Grey, Orange on Maroon, No. 8*, was removed from display at Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam after a young visitor scratched it during an "unguarded moment." The 1960 work, measuring over 7 by 8 feet, is one of only two Rothkos in Dutch collections. The museum has sought conservation expertise in the Netherlands and abroad, and expects the painting to be shown again after treatment. The work was on view at the museum's open storage facility, the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, while the main building undergoes renovation until at least 2030.
