There's a new addition to the San Francisco skyline. The Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto has planted a 69-foot-tall stainless steel sculpture on a hilltop in Yerba Buena Island. "Point of Infinity" is meant to serve a beacon for a new public art program. https://t.co/oe2lDlWLuk

Just broke some news about Tyre Nichols's first major photography exhibiton-- serene and hopeful images of Memphis, where he was fatally attacked by police.

Great reporting on Russian interference w 2017 feminist coalition building by @EllenBarryNYT. And did you notice that ad for The Handmaid's Tale comes right after article online?

[Ellen Barry @EllenBarryNYT]

After the 2017 Women's March, Russian trolls began testing out narratives critical of the movement. They posed as Black women alienated from white feminism. As conservative women. As jeering men. Then they found a far more effective line of attack.

@curatormatla Thanks! I loved writing it.

[Getty @GettyMuseum]

From heist to hanging in an exhibition. For 2 years, Getty conservators have been painstakingly repairing the damaged canvas of the once-stolen "Woman-Ochre" by Willem de Kooning and it's almost ready to be see in person:

@simabelmar Right?!

[Jori Finkel @jorifinkel]

2--It's an attempt at "realism" or "cinema verité," as if the camera is not in the hands of an experienced cinematographer but being used by your clumsy uncle who points right into the light

@MattStromberg @TheArtNewspaper kafkaesque is right. important story!
