FROM TODAY'S ARTSJOURNAL BLOGS
Why composers shouldn’t attack each other in public 

In the end, everyone comes out looking bad. And so it was when composer Matthew Aucoin, age 30, took on Pierre Boulez (1925-2016) in the Nov. 5 New York Review of Books. – David Patrick Stearns

 


Diane di Prima, R.I.P. 

What I like is her poetry’s simplicity. I like its rich feeling, which is straightforward and strong and not at all sentimental. Her poems age well. I’d be surprised if her poetry didn’t last longer than the poetry of many of the Beats. – Jan Herman

 


15 Past Presidents of AAMD Sign Letter Calling for Baltimore Museum to “Reconsider” Planned Sales 

Can you stop a speeding freight train before it crashes? (Update: in this case, turns out the answer is yes.) – Lee Rosenbaum

 


AAMD’s Failed Oversight: Murky “Clarification” of Its “Financial Flexibility” Resolutions 

Better late than never (but not soon enough), the Association of Art Museum Directors is attempting to backpedal from its decision, six months ago, to temporarily loosen its tight strictures against the use of proceeds from art sales for anything other than acquisitions. – Lee Rosenbaum

 


Alarming Preview: Sotheby’s Hawks Baltimore Museum’s Clyfford Still & Brice Marden 

Sirens (coming from the street) were heard wailing at the beginning of Sotheby’s Virtual Preview of Highlights from Impressionist, Modern and Contemporary Art — a fleeting but thematically appropriate soundtrack. – Lee Rosenbaum
