The article reflects on the final 2025 edition of the Museum Artists list, which tracks the most exhibited artists in U.S. museums each quarter. The author notes that the top artists—such as Marie Watt, Jeffrey Gibson, and Rose B. Simpson—have remained consistent throughout the year, with a narrow band of stars appearing in many shows while a long tail of artists have limited visibility. Below the top 15, notable names include Julie Mehretu, Wangechi Mutu, and Jean Shin, with a cluster of older white female artists like Petah Coyne and Joyce Kozloff also gaining recognition.

cannupa hanska luger mascot jordan peele horror film him 1234756028

Cannupa Hanska Luger collaborated with the filmmakers of the horror film *Him*, directed by Justin Tipping and produced by Jordan Peele, to create a sports mascot named “Tinsel Larry.” The mascot appears in the film as the symbol for the fictional San Antonio Saviors team. Luger worked with lead costume designer Dominique Dawson on the design, which evolved from a “Conquistador Larry” concept into a “razzle-dazzle rose gold glitter monster.” Luger explained on Instagram that the mascot incorporates Indigenous references as a deliberate commentary on the racist history of sports mascots, calling it “an act of reclamation.”
