I think I didn't understand many artists

"Ich glaube, ich habe viele Künstler nicht verstanden"

Adrian Searle, the long-standing chief art critic for The Guardian, is stepping down after three decades at the publication and nearly 50 years in art criticism. In a reflective interview, Searle discusses his transition from a practicing painter and educator to a critic, noting that his early interactions with students like Peter Doig and Isaac Julien helped him realize his true strength lay in writing rather than art-making. He recounts his experiences navigating the British art scene, from the decline of Greenbergian abstraction to his encounters with formidable figures like Richard Serra.

The Norton’s new public art park may feature piece by iconic sculptor

The Norton Museum of Art is in negotiations to acquire a monumental sculpture by the late Richard Serra to serve as the centerpiece of a new public art park in West Palm Beach. The proposed Norton Cultural Park would transform a two-acre waterfront site into a series of 14 landscaped "garden rooms" featuring world-class artworks. City commissioners have granted preliminary approval for a lease agreement that allows the museum to manage the land, which was formerly a pioneer cemetery.
