Actor Meryl Streep<\/strong> has made a seven-figure donation to the National Women\u2019s History Museum (NWHM)<\/strong>\u00a0in Washington D.C., reports Artnet News<\/em>. As thanks, she gets her own, eponymous Educator Award in her honor, while the donation, the amount of which is unspecified, will fund storytelling projects and digital programming. Streep\u2019s gift to the nomadic, digital-first museum \u201creflects her enduring belief in the power of amplifying women\u2019s voices,\u201d stated the museum in its announcement. The NWHM helped establish the forthcoming Smithsonian American Women\u2019s History Museum<\/strong>, through a bipartisan congressional committee, though its physical location on the National Mall is still unknown, and lawmakers have asked for an \u201canti-transgender provision\u201d to be added to the project. \u201cHistory is shaped not only by those who make it, but by those who ensure it is remembered,\u201d Streep stated in the announcement of the news.<\/p>\n NUMBER ONE FAN<\/strong>. The Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay<\/strong> has received a remarkable collection of 17 Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings, all done on fans, reports Le Figaro<\/em>. Artists\u00a0such as\u00a0Pissarro, Gauguin, Degas<\/strong>, and\u00a0Toulouse-Lautrec<\/strong>\u00a0are among the\u00a0big names who experimented with painting on fans. On March 24, in celebration of its 40th\u00a0anniversary, the museum will display the recently gifted, fragile works for three months. The Hong-Kong-based collector who donated the collection, identified simply as Ms. Kan, stated she was struck by the \u201cremarkable beauty\u201d of paintings made on fans throughout art history and around the world, leading to a lifelong passion that is not limited to French Impressionists. \u201cI like the fact that the Impressionists were influenced by Asia,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n The Digest<\/strong><\/p>\n Helen Legg<\/strong> will become the next director of London\u2019s Royal Academy of Arts<\/strong>. Currently director of Tate Liverpool<\/strong>, Legg will start her new job in June, when she\u2019ll become responsible for exhibitions, collection and public programming at the institution. [The Art Newspaper]<\/p>\n \n\tThe pop-culture Jim Irsay Collection<\/strong> brought in $94.5 million across four sales at Christie\u2019s in New York, where fans came to admire Kurt Cobain\u2019s guitar, Jerry Garcia\u2019s \u201cTiger,\u201d and John Lennon\u2019s piano from \u201cSgt. Pepper,\u201d to name a few. The white glove sale total nearly quadrupled its low estimate, and it set 28 world records. [ARTnews]<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cFossils make me sick,\u201d admitted the 19th-century groundbreaking English paleontologist Mary Anning<\/strong>, in a signed letter that will head to auction at Bonhams in London. Indeed, Anning had reason to be fed up: she was impoverished and mostly ignored by the male-dominated scientific establishment, despite her major contributions to the field. [The Times]<\/p>\n \n\tThe Glasgow International<\/strong> biennial has announced the full program for its 11th\u00a0edition, taking place from June 5 to 21. It will be directed by Helen Nisbet<\/strong>. [ArtReview]<\/p>\n The Kicker <\/strong><\/p>\n DIG THIS<\/strong>. Camille Henrot<\/strong> hasn\u2019t made a new film in about a decade, but her grand return this week to the medium, with the premiere of In the Veins<\/em> (2026) at the reopened New Museum, \u201cwas worth the wait,\u201d writes Art in America<\/em>\u2019s Emily Watlington. The 35-minute, \u201cinstant classic,\u201d per the critic, will travel to Europe, but first Henrot tells us more about it in a must-read interview, revealing how her parenting experience, and \u201cdaily life amid the reality of the climate crisis,\u201d inspired the film. While reading her kids bedtime stories about animals that were actually endangered, \u201cI became drawn to this cognitive dissonance between all the animal representation that is everywhere in childhood, but that completely disappears for most adults as we age,\u201d said Henrot. As for our environment \u201con the verge of destruction,\u201d and guilt that can come with it, often placed on the act of having children, she later concludes: \u201cSociety likes to sweep unresolved problems like these under the rug, and that\u2019s where I like to go digging.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/news\/meryl-streep-makes-seven-figure-donation-to-national-womens-history-museum-musee-dorsay-receives-collection-of-impressionist-and-post-impressionist-fan-paintings-morning-links-for-march-19-2026-1234778006\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GettyImages-2153842978.jpg?w=1024″] To receive\u00a0Morning Links\u00a0in your inbox every weekday,\u00a0sign\u00a0up\u00a0for our\u00a0Breakfast with ARTnews\u00a0newsletter.
