Good morning. A mural of Italian Olympic volleyball star Paola Egonu was defaced with racist graffiti, prompting outcry from local officials and community members who long saw this coming given the vitriol she and other athletes of color have endured. Staff Reporter Maya Pontone has the story.
Also today, an exhibition at the New Mexico Museum of Art plumbs the influence of queer people on the Southwest art scene. Read Nancy Zastudil’s thoughtful review.
Now, let’s all take a collective deep breath: It’s hard to believe, but we’re just two weeks away (!) from the art fair extravaganza in New York City. Check out our guide to Armory Week and the fall fairs — and stay tuned for our larger guide to the season and much more this week. — Valentina Di Liscia, News Editor
