Rain Pours into the Uffizi Gallery and Palazzo Pitti in Florence

Rain Pours into the Uffizi Gallery and Palazzo Pitti in Florence

Published by Jenni Sidey

Following heavy rainfall, a deluge flooded the Uffizi Gallery and Palazzo Pitti, both in Florence, Italy, on Thursday, reported Euro News. Both were impacted by a torrential downpour in which nearly two inches of rain fell in an hour in Florence. At the Uffizi Gallery, there was a leak that appeared beneath a skylight in a room housing seven 17th-century paintings, including Caravaggio‘s Bacchus. “The leak splashed the outer glass of the protective case containing Caravaggio’s Bacchus,” the museum explained in a statement. “No damage whatsoever has been found to any of the works. The room will be open to visitors as normal from opening time tomorrow morning.” (Corriere della Sera reported a different scene, writing that “the image of the 1598 oil on canvas appeared blurred and marked by long rivulets of water.”) Source link

Tribeca Is New York’s New Gallery Mecca

Tribeca Is New York’s New Gallery Mecca

Published by Sam Flores

It’s time to proclaim a new preeminent gallery district in New York. It is finally, actually, all happening in Tribeca. Just this past Wednesday night, at least 70 major blue-chip gallery shows opened in or near the neighborhood—nearly all of them within a few blocks of one another. We’ve come a long way from the days when this area was called the Triangle Below Canal. In some ways, the gallery world’s migration has been a slow burn. I’ve been tracking galleries opening in Tribeca since at least 2016, when Stefania Bortolami told me she was ditching Chelsea for downtown, and doing so without a twinge of regret. “I’m pretty happy to be going away from Chelsea. This whole block is going to be torn down to become condos. It’s insane—not only here, but every block,” she told me a decade ago. And she predicted that, in time, others would join her. “I know there are some galleries that need to move from Chelsea,” Bortolami said in 2016. “Already, from the moment when I said I …

The National Portrait Gallery in London, which is home to paintings of Hans Holbein the Younger, Anthony Van Dyck, and Joshua Reynolds, is welcoming contemporary artists to the museum as part of a new program called Artist Focus. The gallery’s Weston Wing will host three exhibitions annually with free admission, starting with the American-born British artist Issy Wood, whose show will be on view October 9 through to February 28, 2027. In 2025, Wood made headlines for painting pop star Charli XCX for the cover of Vanity Fair. Source link

Pace Gallery Founder Arne Glimcher Blasts Met Over Galliano Show

Pace Gallery Founder Arne Glimcher Blasts Met Over Galliano Show

Published by Jenni Sidey

A range of politicians and public figures have criticized the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York for its forthcoming controversial John Galliano show, including dealer Arne Glimcher, the founder of Pace Gallery, one of the biggest such entreprises in the world. A New York Times report published on Friday revealed that the Met has privately faced criticism over the exhibition for Galliano, a fashion designer who was convicted of a hate crime in France in 2011 for antisemitic comments. He later apologized for these comments and went to rehab. He returned to the industry as creative director of Maison Margiela, a role he held from 2014 to 2024. Source link

The Gallery That Brought You Adrien Brody Sues Collector for 0,000

The Gallery That Brought You Adrien Brody Sues Collector for $800,000

Published by Jenni Sidey

New York’s Eden Fine Art filed a legal complaint in New Jersey district court last month, saying that collector Jacob Shochat hasn’t paid for some $822,390 worth of artworks he bought from the gallery. The gallery is accusing the collector, who has a background in medical technologies, of breach of contract. Eden says it began taking orders from Shochat in 2018 for $900,000 worth of “artworks and sculptures.” Based on past experience in which he had paid for his purchases, the gallery handed over pieces, sometimes even personally delivering them to his home in Mahwah, New Jersey. Eden says it’s a small, family-owned gallery that can’t withstand these kinds of losses and is suing for the balance as well as interest, attorney’s fees, and expenses. Source link

The Louvre’s Apollo Gallery Reopens, Without Any Crown Jewels

The Louvre’s Apollo Gallery Reopens, Without Any Crown Jewels

Published by Jenni Sidey

The Louvre reopened its now-infamous Apollo Gallery on July 22, nine months after a group of thieves lifted $102 million worth of Napoleon era jewels from the Paris museum. The brazen daytime heist took less than eight minutes, during which time thieves, disguised as construction workers, used a monte-meubles, or a moving exterior staircase, to break into the Apollo Gallery. Once inside, they quickly absconded with nine bejeweled objects, including a tiara, a necklace, earrings, and a brooch. Only Empress Eugénie’s diamond-and-emerald-encrusted crown, which the thieves dropped while escaping on scooters, has been recovered. Source link

At Management Gallery, the Grotesque Evolves for the Doomscroll Era

At Management Gallery, the Grotesque Evolves for the Doomscroll Era

Published by Jenni Sidey

The third episode of 2026’s breakout show on Apple TV, Widow’s Bay, ends with the creature of the week—the perpetually sopping Sea Hag—astride her prey: cynical mayor Tom Loftis, played by Matthew Rhys. He’d been warned. Her preferred method of murder is asphyxiation (she sits on your face). Pinned beneath her rotting legs in his recliner chair, Loftis narrowly escapes by yanking its lever, catapulting the hag over his head. The spell breaks; dread collapses with a laugh.   Source link

Courtauld Gallery to Exhibit Masterpieces from the Reuben Collection

Courtauld Gallery to Exhibit Masterpieces from the Reuben Collection

Published by Jenni Sidey

The Courtauld Gallery in London announced this week that it will put on view works from the Reuben Collection alongside works from its own holdings this fall. Opening September 18, the exhibition, titled “Modern Painting from the Courtauld and Reuben Collections,” will feature works by Paul Cezanne, Juan Gris, Fernand Léger, Amedeo Modigliani, René Magritte, Man Ray, and Pablo Picasso. Cezanne’s Turning Road (1905) and Modigliani’s Nude (ca.1916), from the Courtauld’s collection, will “set the stage for works from the Reuben Collection by painters who built on such innovations to chart new artistic directions,” according to a release. The Reuben Collection will loan works such as Picasso’s canvases Marie-Thérèse Walter (1937), Dora Maar (1939), and Still Life with Basket of Fruits and Flowers (1942); Magritte’s The Dominion of Light (1949) and The Intimate Friend (1958); and Man Ray’s monumental 1915 painting Black Widow (Nativity), which was last exhibited in the UK 50 years ago. The show is also the first major initiative between the Courtauld and the Reuben Foundation since the latter’s gift of £30 million ($40 million) to the …

Samsung’s Gallery OneDrive sync is disappearing in September, but I already found my replacement

Samsung’s Gallery OneDrive sync is disappearing in September, but I already found my replacement

Published by Miika Tikkanen

Samsung’s Gallery OneDrive integration was a feature that I forgot even existed because it just worked so well behind the scenes. My photos quietly synced both ways in the background and appeared in OneDrive like magic. Now, Samsung is retiring the feature, with its last day being the 30th of September 2026. This, of course, means finding a replacement, so I decided to be proactive and get it sorted ahead of time. I tried 10 alternatives, but in the end, I found five workable options for different users. The fifth application genuinely surprised me and became my go-to solution. OneDrive is the obvious fix if you already use Samsung’s sync It keeps the same cloud storage, but loses the Gallery’s simplicity This was the first option I tested. One, because I already had a OneDrive account, and two, because I assumed they’d make the swap-over easy enough to perform. This should have involved toggling a few options on and off and delegating the syncing task to the official Android OneDrive app. The official instructions state …
