Good morning. If you like art writing that goes beneath the surface — and maybe even gets to the naked truth — then you might love Nina Edwards’s newest book, The Virtues of Underwear: Modesty, Flamboyance, and Filth. The publication dives into the cultural and artistic history of everything from loincloths to lingerie to weave a “a rapid-fire overview of people and their intimate wear — both ever-changing,” writes Staff Reporter Rhea Nayyar. Mark your calendars: Hyperallergic is hosting its first virtual town hall meeting on December 10 at 6pm EST. It’s a chance to meet our staff, hear about our plans for the future, and learn about ongoing challenges facings arts journalism. Become a member for access to the livestream. In the news today, artist Eunice Parsons dies at 108; Boston University halts admissions for its humanities PhDs, including art history; and Maurizio Cattelan’s notorious banana taped to a wall “artwork” sells for $6.2 million — six times its low estimate. It’s a sign of the times if there ever was one.
— Valentina Di Liscia, News Editor
