  • Cool page, neat resources: A National Gallery (UK) examination of Raphael’s portrait of Pope Julius II revealed a major change
  • Slate “War Stories” columnist Fred Kaplan gives MoMA’s ‘Abstract Expressionist New York’ the slide show treatment.
  • When you are an art museum and you give a collector a fluff show, you risk having to send out releases/etc. with pictures of him looking like a leather-daddy. Or at least that’s what happened to the Huntington.
  • John McCracken says, “Hi, Anne Truitt!”
  • This is nice. But I hope Jori Finkel is looking into the real issue here: That museums such as LACMA loan paintings to commercial galleries (in effect, to help sell other paintings). Same story, different coast: Pace’s 50th-anniversary show.
  • The most recent art museum to re-design their website in a way that renders linking to its collection impossible: The San Diego Museum of Art.
  • Martin Gayford writes a book about Lucien Freud painting a portrait of Martin Gayford. Or is that Lucien Freud paints a portrait of Martin Gayford writing a book about Lucien Freud?  Jonathan Jones explains.
