Protesters shot fireworks at police and set cars ablaze in the working class Paris suburb of Nanterre on Wednesday, in a second night of unrest following the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old boy during a traffic stop there. Shortly before midnight, a trail of overturned vehicles burned as fireworks fizzed at police lines on Nanterre's Avenue Pablo Picasso. Videos on social media showed dozens of fireworks being directed at the Montreuil town hall, on the eastern edge of Paris. The interior ministry has called for calm, and said 2,000 police have been mobilized in the Paris region. Rights groups allege systemic racism inside law enforcement agencies in France, a charge Macron has previously denied.

☆ Françoise Gilot, artist whose career transcended relationship with Picasso, has died at 101

Françoise Gilot, a tireless artist who defied simple categorization — and efforts to define her merely as a footnote in the story of her former lover Pablo Picasso — died Tuesday in New York. The early years of her career coincided with World War II and the Nazi occupation of Paris. In 1970, Gilot married her second husband, Jonas Salk, a virologist who developed one of the first polio vaccines. "Paloma à la Guitare" by Francoise Gilot (1965) was part of Sotheby's (Women) Artists Sale in 2021 in London, England. In 2012, Gagosian staged the first exhibition of Gilot’s work alongside Picasso’s, “Picasso and Françoise Gilot: Paris–Vallauris 1943–1953,” which focused on works made during their relationship.

Françoise Gilot, an accomplished painter whose art was eclipsed by her long and stormy romantic relationship with a much older Pablo Picasso, and who alone among his many mistresses walked out on him, died on Tuesday at a hospital in Manhattan. The death was confirmed by her daughter Aurelia Engel, who said Ms. Gilot had recently been dealing with heart and lung ailments. “You imagine people will be interested in you?” Ms. Gilot quoted a surprised Picasso as saying after she told him that she was leaving him. “They won’t ever, really, just for yourself. She continued painting and exhibiting her work and wrote books.

☆ Can You Spot the Dog Hidden in This Picasso Painting?
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-17 | by ( Jesus Jiménez | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

In Pablo Picasso’s 1900 painting “Le Moulin de la Galette,” revelers sporting dresses or top hats appear to be drinking, dancing and chatting. Beneath the partyers, under layers of paint, there is a hidden dog that the artist seems to have hastily painted over. But recent research and extensive restoration of the painting for an exhibition revealed an auburn-coated King Charles spaniel with a red bow. The treatment revealed subtleties — such as the brushwork, color palette and spatial definition — that had previously gone unnoticed in the painting. Then, technical imaging unveiled an earlier version of the painting that included the lap dog in the foreground.

CNN —Conservators at the Guggenheim Museum in New York have uncovered a small dog hidden beneath the surface of a Pablo Picasso painting. The image of a charming lapdog wearing a red bow was revealed by museum experts during a technical analysis of the Spanish artist’s painting “Le Moulin de la Galette” ahead of an exhibition of his early works. “Le Moulin de la Galette” depicts a lively scene at the titular venue — a famous Parisian dance hall that was painted by other artists including Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Modifying paintings later became part of Picasso’s regular practice, Barten said, adding that “Le Moulin de la Galette” is now considered one of the earliest examples of this. “Le Moulin de la Galette” is the “centerpiece” of the Guggenheim’s show, said Barten, whose team of conservators also restored the artwork’s surface by removing decades of dirt and non-original varnish.

☆ Freddie Mercury's estate will auction hundreds of personal items belonging to the late Queen singer — including handwritten notes, song drafts, and costumes

Hundreds of items owned by Queen singer Freddie Mercury will be auctioned later this year. The auctions will include art he owned, along with notes, drafts of Queen songs, and costumes worn for concerts. One piece already on display at Sotheby's in London is a robe and crown worn by Mercury during Queen's final performances in 1986. Kin Cheung/The Associated PressMary Austin, Mercury's longtime friend and inheritor of his estate and belongings, made the "difficult decision" to sell the items, according to The Associated Press. Many of the items have been stored in Mercury's Garden Lodge home where she has lived since his death in 1991.

☆ Picasso: Love Him or Hate Him?
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-05 | by ( Deborah Solomon | April | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +14 min

It is not hugely cool to profess a love for Picasso these days. This is what Picasso’s detractors — like Hannah Gadsby, the Australian comedian and Picasso basher, who will help curate a Picasso show at the Brooklyn Museum opening on June 2 — often miss. Picasso, by contrast, brought the weight of lived experience into his work, even when he was tethered to archetypal subjects. “The Mother” (1901), an early painting by Picasso, shows a view of motherhood purged of Renaissance idealization. The conventional view of the painting holds that the women are “dolled-up cocottes,” as John Richardson glibly put it in his biography of Picasso.

☆ Publishing Magnate Si Newhouse’s Art Trove Could Sell for Near $150 Million
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-21 | by ( Kelly Crow | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +1 min

The estate of publishing magnate Samuel Irving Newhouse Jr. took note last fall when collectors clamored after Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s $1.6 billion record-setting estate sale. Heartened by the art market’s resilience, the publisher’s family said Tuesday it plans to follow suit—auctioning off more of Mr. Newhouse’s own trove this spring. The move marks the third time the Newhouse estate has plied his pieces into sales since he died six years ago at age 89—a trickling strategy that contrasts with the theatrical, everything-must-go atmosphere conjured when Mr. Allen or the Rockefellers before him sold off vast art holdings all at once. The 16 latest works consigned to Christie’s for its coming New York sales in May represent a fraction of the art amassed over the decades by Condé Nast’s chairman emeritus, but the batch is estimated to top $144 million and will showcase his taste for a broad sweep of artists, including Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, Jasper Johns and Lee Bontecou.

SOFIA, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Investigators looking into crypto lender Nexo on Friday said that four citizens of Bulgaria had been accused of participating in an organised crime group for money laundering as well as tax and computer fraud. Nexo had said after Thursday's operations that the raided office was not customer facing but has only back office functions. Some 35 artworks, including from Salvador Dali, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, had been seized from one of the accused, investigators said. According to Bulgarian prosecutors $94 billion has gone through the Nexo platform in the past five years. Crypto lenders act like banks for the crypto world, offering customers interest on cryptocurrencies they deposit with the platform.

☆ Picasso’s ‘Guitar on a Table,’ Long Held by MoMA, Sells for $37.1 Million at Sotheby’s

The cubist ‘Guitar on a Table’ was painted by Pablo Picasso in 1919 and acquired by William Paley in 1946. A foundation for CBS founder William Paley has started selling off a trove of masterpieces long lent to New York’s Museum of Modern Art to fund an expansion of the museum’s digital footprint—including a Pablo Picasso that sold Monday for $37.1 million. The sale at Sotheby’s landed a week after Christie’s made auction history selling Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen ’s $1.5 billion art estate. While Mr. Allen’s art stirred up a marketing bonanza, collectors and dealers say they will be seeking clues about the market’s broader strength during these remaining sales in New York’s fall series.

The event, "Paris+ par Art Basel", was awarded to Art Basel, one of the giants in the art world, which hosts fairs in Switzerland as well as Miami and Hong Kong. Contemporary art, dating roughly from 1945 onwards, made up 23% of the art market in 2020-2021, compared with 3% in 2000-2001, according to the Artprice data bank.

Un tablou pictat de Picasso a fost expus într-un supermarket din Essonne, o suburbie a ParisuluiTabloul „Atelierul”, de Pablo Picasso, a fost expus miercuri într-un supermarket din Essonne, la sud de Paris, departament unde va fi inaugurat în 2025 un „Centru Pompidou regional”, care va adăposti opere din Muzeul Naţional de Artă Modernă al Franţei. O simeză modestă a fost construită în faţa rafturilor cu produse şi a fost degajat un culoar astfel încât clienţii acestui supermarket, situat între două oraşe cu mai puţin de 60 000 de locuitori laolaltă, să poată contempla opera pictorului cubist. „Nu este colecţia Centrului Pompidou, ci cea a Franţei, întrucât este naţională şi este a tuturor francezilor, oriunde ar fi”, a argumentat el. Această expoziţie se înscrie în cadrul demersului de amplasare, în oraşul Massy (departamentul Essonne), a unui Centru Pompidou regional, preconizată pentru decembrie 2025. În prezent, operele sunt păstrate şi păzite cu sfinţenie în nordul Parisului, într-un spaţiu care „nu mai este adecvat”, a explicat pentru AFP Julie Narbey, directoare generală a Centrului Pompidou.
