February 15, 2023Good morning. π€οΈ Hyperallergic is throwing a party, and you're invited! Join us for the launch of our Spring 2023 New York Art Guide on Thursday evening, February 23, at Union Pool in Williamsburg, Brooklyn (doors open at 7 pm). Please RSVP at this link, and see you there! In today's news, Banksy unveils a poignant Valentine's Day mural in the UK, but then local authorities intervene and mess it all up.

Unsurprisingly, the US isn't one of those countries. β Hakim Bishara, Senior Editor Whoβs the Artist Behind These Unsettling Tudor Paintings?The identity of the painter known as the Master of the Countess of Warwick has long been a mystery.
