art galleries closing museum restaurants wet paint 2667206

Artnet News' Wet Paint column reports a wave of gallery closures and rumors in New York's art scene. Blum and Venus Over Manhattan have recently shut down, while Clearing's Bowery space temporarily became a Tank Air clothing pop-up, not a permanent closure. Micki Meng sent a cryptic 'I'm quitting' email but clarified it was a reference to Marcel Duchamp, not a business closure. Jack Barrett Gallery is relocating, not closing, and Tramps has closed its Washington Square Park location while planning a new Paris outpost. Jack Hanley, who closed his gallery in January, is now painting in the Hamptons.

dara birnbaum video artist dead wonder woman 1234740430

Dara Birnbaum, a pioneering video artist known for subverting mainstream media through her re-edited television clips, has died at age 78. Her longtime representative, Marian Goodman Gallery, confirmed her death but did not disclose a cause. Birnbaum rose to prominence in the late 1970s and 1980s by pirating TV programs and resequencing their images to disrupt passive viewing. Her most famous work, *Technology/Transformation: Wonder Woman* (1978–79), loops clips of Lynda Carter as the superhero, exposing hidden politics and questioning the show's brand of feminism. The piece is now regarded as a landmark in both feminist art and video art.

Marcel Duchamp remains one of the most influential figures in contemporary art, a century after his readymades like *Fountain* (1917) challenged definitions of art. MoMA is opening a major retrospective on April 9, co-organized by Ann Temkin and Michelle Kuo, exploring Duchamp's conceptual legacy. The article profiles four contemporary artists—including Cory Arcangel—who are extending Duchamp's ideas into digital and conceptual realms, such as Arcangel's modified Nintendo game *Super Mario Clouds* (2002).

Digital art is going mainstream

Digital art has achieved mainstream acceptance in the art world, ranking third in total spending among high-net-worth collectors after painting and sculpture, according to The Art Basel and UBS Survey of Global Collecting 2025. Over half of the 3,100 respondents purchased a digital artwork in 2024 or 2025, and the average share of digital art in collections rose from 3% in 2024 to 13% in 2025, signaling a maturation beyond the NFT boom of 2022. Art Basel is launching a new section called Zero 10 at Miami Beach 2025, featuring 12 exhibitors including AOTM, bitforms gallery, and Pace Gallery, with an interactive installation by Beeple. Major museums like MoMA, Tate Modern, and Centre Pompidou have hosted significant digital art exhibitions, further boosting collector confidence.

Cultured magazine's article "Weekend Tournament" reviews a group exhibition at Raisonné Gallery in New York, organized by Raquel Cayre and Ariel Ashe, that explores the intersection of sport, art, and design. The show features 63 works by 27 artists including Paul Pfeiffer, Adam McEwen, Le Corbusier, Cory Arcangel, and Rachel Harrison, with pieces ranging from a graphite replica of a school water fountain to an active ping-pong table and a mini-golf course. The author, Zito Madu, draws parallels between his own background as a professional soccer player turned writer and the exhibition's invitation to engage physically and playfully with art.
