The Temple of Dendur, an ancient Egyptian structure that counts among the most beloved attractions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, will this summer host an exhibition of sculptures by the Swiss modernist Alberto Giacometti—a rarity, since the Temple of Dendur does not often act as a space for shows of any kind.

The exhibition, simply titled “Giacometti in the Temple of Dendur,” is a small one, with just 17 of the artist’s sculptures. Fourteen of them belong to the Fondation Giacometti, while the rest come from the Met’s collection.

Hampshire College, a liberal arts college in Amherst, Massachusetts, will close after 51 years in operation, becoming the latest school of its kind to shutter amid financial difficulties.

Though small in scale, the college has had an outsize effect on the art world, with its art department graduating a number of painters, sculptors, and photographers who went on to achieve fame in the years after their undergraduate education there.

The alumni list includes Christina Quarles, a painter who is now represented by Hauser & Wirth and has shown at the Venice Biennale; Math Bass, a painter who has had shows at the Hammer Museum and MoMA PS1; and Every Ocean Hughes, an artist who has staged exhibitions and performances at institutions ranging from the Whitney Museum to the MIT List Center for Visual Arts.

On Sunday, the Museum of Modern Art opens a sweeping Marcel Duchamp retrospective.

The show arrives "at exactly the right moment,” Alex Greenberger writes. "Ours is a time when artists are responding to a chaotic world with spare, sleek artworks that are protest-minded, even if they don’t always seem that way. These are works that resist by refusing to reveal all, just as Duchamp’s work once did."

"Prior to entering the MoMA retrospective, I wouldn’t have called Duchamp a political artist. Now, I wonder if I understood him at all," Greenberger writes. "I take that as a sign that this show is a great one."
