The Headlines<\/strong><\/h3>\n

IN A\u00a0CHRISTIE\u2019S AUCTION,<\/b>\u00a0a copy of Leonardo\u2019s\u00a0Mona Lisa<\/a><\/i>\u00a0(1503)\u2014the\u00a0Hekking Mona Lisa<\/i><\/b>, which has been dated to the 17th century\u2014sold for\u00a0an astonishing \u20ac2.9 million<\/a>\u00a0(about $3.45 million), trouncing its high estimate of \u20ac300,000 ($357,000). This ersatz\u00a0Mona Lisa<\/i>\u00a0got its name from its onetime owner, the late antiques dealer\u00a0Raymond Hekking<\/b>, who argued it was\u00a0the genuine article<\/a>, as\u00a0DW<\/i>\u00a0explains. The work was offered by his descendants. In other\u00a0Mona Lisa<\/i>\u00a0news, the\u00a0New York Times<\/i>\u00a0has gone deep on a\u00a0much-discussed online petition<\/a>\u00a0proposing\u00a0that\u00a0Amazon<\/b>\u00a0founder\u00a0Jeff Bezos<\/b>\u00a0buy the painting from the\u00a0Louvre<\/b>\u00a0and eat it. The expert consensus: There is no way France could, or would, part with it, but eating it would probably be legal. (With few tourists in Paris, it seems\u00a0like a great time<\/a>\u00a0to visit the painting, by the way.)<\/p>\n

SPEAKING OF FAKES, ALLEN MIDGETTE, AN ACTOR<\/b>\u00a0who impersonated\u00a0Andy Warhol<\/a><\/b>,\u00a0at the artist\u2019s behest<\/a>, on a lecture tour of American universities in 1967, has died at the age of 82, the\u00a0New York Times\u00a0<\/i>reports. Though students at one school eventually exposed the ruse, Midgette managed to convince people he was the famous artist on a number of occasions. \u201cHe was better than I am,\u201d Warhol once said. \u201cHe was what the people expected. They liked him better than they would have me.\u201d Midgette, who acted in various films, and who reprised his Warhol character on occasion, later\u00a0said the experience \u201cmade me realize how, in life, people just presume a lot of things.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Digest<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The\u00a0Birmingham Museum of Art\u00a0in Alabama said that it will return works to the Tlingit and Haida peoples in Alaska, which requested them under legislation passed in 1990. The museum no longer has \u201ca moral, ethical, or legal claim under federal law,\u201d the museum\u2019s director,\u00a0Graham C. Boettcher, said.\u00a0[WBHM\u00a0and\u00a0Associated Press]<\/p>\n

Betty Fung, a longtime civil servant in Hong Kong, has been tapped to be the new leader of the\u00a0West Kowloon Cultural District Authority, which is home to the forthcoming\u00a0Hong Kong Palace Museum\u00a0and\u00a0M+\u00a0institutions. Fung previously led the authority as acting CEO and is known to be close the city\u2019s leader, chief executive\u00a0Carrie Lam.\u00a0[South China Morning Post]<\/p>\n

After condemnation on social media, the\u00a0OCAT Shanghai\u00a0art space pulled a seven-hour video work by the artist\u00a0Song Ta, in which he ranked 5,000 women on how attractive he found them. The artist shot the photos and videos he included in the piece on a university campus.\u00a0[BBC News]<\/p>\n

The Berlin gallery\u00a0Esther Schipper\u00a0is getting in on the pop-up gallery game, opening spaces in Mallorca, Spain, and Taipei this summer. \u00a0[The Art Newspaper]<\/p>\n

The\u00a0United States Department of the Treasury\u00a0and other agencies are studying whether stricter anti-money laundering rules should be instituted in the art market. Some industry veterans argue that the fear of money laundering is overblown, and that compliance would be pricy and time-consuming.\u00a0[The New York Times]<\/p>\n

A curious case: German police are seeking information on two 17th-century paintings that were discovered in a dumpster. The works are by the Dutch artist\u00a0Samuel van Hoogstraten\u00a0and the Italian\u00a0Pietro Bellotti.\u00a0[BBC News]<\/p>\n

After six years as CEO of the\u00a0New Britain Museum of American Art, a regional gem in Connecticut,\u00a0Min Jung Kim\u00a0said she is stepping down \u201cfor a new opportunity elsewhere.\u201d\u00a0[Hartford Courant]<\/p>\n

The Kicker<\/strong><\/h3>\n

NEW YORK HOSPITALS HAVE BEEN GETTING SERIOUS ABOUT ART<\/b>\u00a0in recent years,\u00a0Adam Iscoe<\/b>\u00a0notes in a\u00a0New Yorker<\/i>\u00a0\u201cTalk of the Town\u201d that follows collectors\u00a0Sandi and Bill Nicholson<\/b>\u00a0as they view work they loaned to the\u00a0Lenox Hill Hospital<\/b>\u00a0in Manhattan. Explaining what made the couple share\u00a0more than 400 pieces<\/a>\u00a0to the\u00a0Northwell Health<\/b>\u00a0healthcare network, Sandi said, \u201cWe bought \u2019em, we brought \u2019em home, we dressed them up. But we always knew they needed to do something else.\u201d\u00a0[The New Yorker]<\/p>\n
