The Bates College Museum of Art will open 'Ralph Steadman: And Another Thing' on June 6, a major exhibition spanning 60 years of the artist and illustrator's career. Featuring 149 objects, the show includes works from Steadman's collaborations with Hunter S. Thompson, political commentary, and literary illustrations, along with a life-size bronze sculpture 'Vintage Dr. Gonzo' by Jud Bergeron. Originally scheduled for 2020 but delayed by the pandemic, the exhibition runs through Oct. 11 and fills the entire museum.

Will Higgins uncovers the Indy 500's wacky history in new exhibit

Former IndyStar reporter Will Higgins has opened a new exhibition titled "The Speedway's Attic" at the Contemporary Art Museum of Indianapolis (CAMi), running until August 16. The show presents nine quirky, true stories from the margins of the Indianapolis 500, featuring artifacts recreated by Higgins based on his own research. One highlighted tale involves a fake 1938 Mercedes Benz convertible linked to Adolf Hitler, which appeared at the 1949 Indy 500 with mannequins and alleged "Hitler's wife's underwear." Higgins, known for his gonzo journalism style, previously created exhibits like "The American Society of Presidential Urine Collectors" and "The Museum of Fabulosity."
