About The Art Newspaper
Paintings by Monet, Matisse, Dalí and Picasso were snatched in a cinematic heist from Rio de Janeiro’s Museu da Chácara do Céu in 2006. Paul Ehorn, an 80-year-old shipwreck hunter, has finally located the long-lost luxury steamer Lac La Belle. Cultural sites and museums in Israel have closed and have been instructed to move their collections into bomb shelters. Meanwhile Art Dubai fair, scheduled for April, plans to go ahead but its organisers are "monitoring the situation closely".
Angulo’s work was devoted to decolonising the museum, anti-racism and reparation with a special focus on diversifying narratives to include more Black and Indigenous voices. The city’s building boom has revealed many artefacts and human remains, but the pace of development has made study and preservation challenging.
