Good morning. ☀️ Today, China punishes 27 officials over "tragically ugly" illustrations in a math textbook; workers at the Philadelphia Museum of Art vote to authorize a strike; Raphael Montañez Ortiz at El Museo del Barrio; Japanese ceramists on “listening” to clay; and what does Selena Gomez have in common with Trump’s stolen top secret documents?
And as the art world prepares for a busy season ahead, we present the Fall 2022 New York Art Guide. It's a month-by-month visual guide to dozens of noteworthy exhibitions and art events across and around NYC. Enjoy it!
