Today, artist Nan Goldin stirs the pot in Germany with an emotive speech criticizing the country’s stifling of pro-Palestinian voices and unconditional support of Israel. Our Staff Reporter Rhea Nayyar has the story.

In other news, two climate activists are sentenced to prison for pouring powder on a case protecting the original United States Constitution, and the Venice Biennale concludes with strong attendance figures, though not as strong as the post-pandemic 2022 edition.

In Opinions, Josh Davis, a security guard and union member at the Seattle Art Museum, explains why he and his colleagues plan to strike this Friday if their demands are not met.

There’s much more, including our picks for the 30 best art books of 2024, Jonathan Lethem’s foray into art writing, and a new book about the enduring kinship between Black visual arts and music.
