Dear @sothebys,

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Price Tower in Bartlesville, OK, is up for auction. She’s been done wrong and it’s time to make it Wright. Hopefully, new owners will do better for her and Bartlesville #savethepricetower #pricetower #franklloydwright #bartlesville #wrightchoice #makeitwright

It’s the 1st Old Masters Week of 2024!! @sothebys is too good to me! ❤️ While the art will be bussin (looking at you, #murillo) this will also be big indicator of where Old Masters stand in the art market. #letsdothis #oldmasters #oldmastersweek

Édouard Manet completed a commission depicting a bundle of asparagus & the patron loved it. Manet quickly painted a single spear and sent it with a note stating, “there was one missing from your bunch.” See the bundle at @MuseeOrsay or the solo spear at #WallrafRichartzMuseum.

After testifying against a man who abused her and the trauma it caused, #artemisiagentileschi had a MAJOR shift in her art. She left behind the depictions of women as victims and started painting women as strong, brave, and assertive badasses. #womenempowerment #brave #baroqueart

Day 2 of Artemisia Week: she was born on July 8, 1593 and was the eldest of 5 children. She was also the only girl. Her father was an accomplished artist and she trained under him. #artemisiagentileschi #artemisiaslays #baroque #italian

[StarvingArtHistorian @art_starving]

Happy Birthday to the BADDEST girl of Art, #ArtemisiaGentileschi! Born in 1593, she depicted women powerfully & single handedly fought the patriarchy. Get ready for an entire week dedicated to the OG of female artists who didn’t come to play, she came to slay! #Artemisiaslays

Happy Birthday, Frida Kahlo! #fridakahlo #happybirthday #legend

@scotus ruled 7-2 in favor of #lynngoldsmith in a case between the photog v. #warholfoundation on copyright infringement regarding a Warhol silkscreen of #prince based on Goldsmith’s photo. The art world is left divided on the ramifications of the ruling. We’ll see…
