Today: Painter Alex Katz’s massive gift to the Portland Museum of Art, a Warsaw museum's Maria Prymachenko exhibition, and Lola Flash’s pathbreaking photography and activism. In the news, Israeli artist and gallerist Chaim Peri, who was based in Kibbutz Nir Oz, has been confirmed dead in Hamas captivity in Gaza. The circumstances of his death remain unclear. Read more about his life and work in our report. There’s more, including our regular Required Reading and A View From the Easel columns. Finally, please consider joining us as a Hyperallergic member, if you haven’t already. Just a few dollars a month would go a long way in keeping us free and independent. Happy Friday! — Hakim Bishara, Senior Editor
