The Headlines<\/h3>\n

ONE THING IS CLEAR.<\/b>\u00a0This year\u2019s\u00a0Art Basel<\/a><\/b>\u00a0is going to be like none other. The fair is set to open in Switzerland in about three weeks, but some exhibitors have written a letter\u00a0calling for the event to be canceled<\/a>, citing the pandemic, the\u00a0Art Newspaper<\/i>\u00a0reports. Basel\u2019s global director,\u00a0Marc Spiegler<\/b>, has offered\u00a0to create so-called Satellite booths for dealers who want to send art but not team members (Basel-hired staffers will helm those stands), and to roll over booth fees to 2022\u00a0for those prohibited from entering the country or subject to quarantine. The big question is how many people will show up on the Messeplatz to brave\u00a0the not-uncomplicated vaccine and testing rules<\/a>. The U.S., for one, has advised against non-essential travel to Switzerland. The U.S. has clocked 50 cases per 100,000 people over the past week to\u00a0Switzerland\u2019s 29.<\/p>\n

IT IS A BUSY TIME FOR NAZI-ERA RESTITUTIONS.<\/b>\u00a0Amsterdam just said\u00a0it is returning\u00a0a\u00a0Wassily Kandinsky\u00a0<\/b>to the heirs of a Jewish couple who sold it in 1940. Now the\u00a0Georg Sch\u00e4fer Foundation<\/b>\u00a0in Germany has said that\u00a0an anonymous donor will pay<\/a>\u00a0the heirs of\u00a0Max Liebermann<\/b>\u00a0for three pieces it holds by the artist, the\u00a0New York Times\u00a0<\/i>reports. One of the works was a portrait of his wife, which was taken from her Berlin home in 1943 after she killed herself. The foundation has previously argued that it is the responsibility of the German government to provide compensation\u00a0in cases where such works\u00a0were acquired in\u00a0good faith. Heirs\u00a0of various Jewish collectors\u00a0have alleged\u00a0that some 20 other works in the foundation\u2019s collection should be restituted because they were stolen by the Nazis or sold under duress.<\/p>\n

The Digest<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0Virginia\u00a0Supreme Court<\/b>\u00a0has given the state government the go-ahead to remove Richmond\u2019s\u00a0towering statue of\u00a0Confederate General\u00a0Robert E. Lee<\/a><\/b>. Residents had filed suit\u00a0in an attempt to preserve the monument, which became a focal point of\u00a0Black Lives Matter<\/b>\u00a0protests.\u00a0[The Guardian]<\/p>\n

An exhibit titled\u00a0\u201cMaking History: Kansas City and the Rise of Gay Rights\u201d<\/b>\u00a0was removed from the\u00a0Missouri State Museum<\/b>\u00a0in the Capitol building in Jefferson City after it was criticized by a Republican lawmaker. Exact details of the move are not yet clear.\u00a0Greg Razer<\/b>, a Democrat who is the state\u2019s only openly gay senator has condemned the action.\u00a0[The Associated Press]<\/p>\n

In England, a father and a son were sentenced to six and eight years, respectively, for stealing a variety of\u00a0Chinese antiques<\/b>\u00a0from an elderly woman and selling them at auction. Three accomplices also received sentences. Their total haul is believed to have been about \u00a31.72 million (about $2.38 million) for some 50 items over seven years.\u00a0[Daily Mail]<\/p>\n

Rising tennis star\u00a0Reilly Opelka<\/b>\u00a0is a passionate art collector, and while he is in New York for the\u00a0U.S. Open<\/b>, he said he\u2019s\u00a0planning to stop by\u00a0Gagosian<\/b>,\u00a0David Zwirner<\/b>, and\u00a0Vito Schnabel<\/b>. An eight-foot-wide\u00a0Friedrich Kunath<\/b>\u00a0hangs in his dining room in Florida.\u00a0[Vanity Fair]<\/p>\n

The vaunted\u00a0In Situ<\/b>\u00a0restaurant at the\u00a0San Francisco Museum of Modern Art<\/b>\u00a0has closed after five years. Run by chef\u00a0Corey Lee<\/b>, it operated a bit like an art space, showcasing the recipes of various chefs.\u00a0\u201cOur collection included over 100 dishes spanning more than 25 countries, 20 U.S cities, and almost 50 years,\u201d it said in an Instagram post.\u00a0[SFGate]<\/p>\n

Rachel Dolezal<\/b>\u00a0was working a civil-rights activist when she was revealed in 2015 to be a white woman claiming to be Black, but she has also long been a practicing artist.\u00a0Bustle<\/i>\u00a0reported on her art career<\/a>\u00a0at the time, and pointed out that one of her works appears to copy a famed\u00a0Turner<\/b>. Now\u00a0Glenn Ligon<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>has noted that another one of her creations\u00a0seems to lift the exact aesthetic of some of his most famous text works. \u201cWell, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,\u201d he wrote on Instagram. \u201cDoes that include blackface? Just asking.\u201d Dolezal has said that she self-identifies as African-American.\u00a0[@glennligon\/Instagram]<\/p>\n

The Kicker<\/h3>\n

IN WHAT MAY BE THE MOST BRITISH STORY OF ALL TIME,<\/b>\u00a0an artist named\u00a0Nick Hugh McCann<\/b>\u00a0has unveiled a painting that he made\u2014in secret, over seven years\u2014of 148 regulars at a pub in the village of Sawley, England.\u00a0BBC News<\/i>\u00a0has the details<\/a>, and photos of the work, which is both awesome and surreal. It now hangs at the establishment,\u00a0The<\/b>\u00a0Bell Inn<\/b>. (Its title:\u00a0A Few Down the Bell\u00a0<\/i>.) McCann worked from photos that he took of customers, and said his aim was to pay tribute to the pub and its supporters. \u201cI think it\u2019s really nice to have a picture in a normal place as opposed to a gallery,\u201d he said. Agreed.\u00a0[BBC News]<\/p>\n
