June 12, 2024

Well, that was quick: Animal rights activists target King Charles’s red-washed portrait less than a month after its unveiling, and they do it in the most hilarious of ways. Rhea Nayyar has the details.

Also today: News Editor Valentina Di Liscia on Rosana Paulino in Buenos Aires, Reviews Editor Natalie Haddad on Francesca Woodman and Julia Margaret Cameron in London, and critic John Yau on Phoebe Helander's sublime paintings of everyday objects in Upstate New York (her egg painting is one of my favorites).

There’s more, including an interview with performance artist Holly Hughes, known for their activism with the NEA Four group, in our series on queer and trans elders.

— Hakim Bishara, Senior Editor
