Germany is creating a new panel to oversee the restitution of colonial-era artifacts and human remains, reports the\u00a0Art Newspaper<\/em>. The new group, with the lengthy, acronym-unfriendly title:\u00a0Coordination Council for Returns of Cultural Property and Human Remains from Colonial Contexts<\/strong>, will be made up of German government, states, and municipal leaders, according to an announcement made yesterday. The council is \u201can important step in responsibly handling\u201d these objects, and will help \u201cshape ongoing and future restitution processes more effectively,\u201d explained German culture minister\u00a0Wolfram Weimer<\/strong>.\u00a0The initiative makes good on oft-repeated pledges to repatriate artifacts taken unfairly from former colonies, yet the transfer of ownership has stalled in many such pending cases.<\/p>\n HOW DOES IT FEEL?<\/strong>\u00a0To come upon a rare piece of pop culture history while leafing through an old book of poems? An unnamed bookseller would know. He found\u00a0a torn, typed paper draft of\u00a0Bob Dylan<\/strong>\u2019s nearly 60-year-old lyrics for his song, \u201cI\u2019m Not There,\u201d inside a signed, first-edition\u00a0Allen Ginsberg<\/strong>\u00a0paperback, reports the\u00a0Guardian\u00a0<\/em>. Now, the \u201cextremely rare\u201d scrap of lyrics that Dylan is thought to have written during the summer of 1967, just outside Woodstock, will head to\u00a0music memorabilia\u2013focused\u00a0Omega Auctions<\/strong>\u00a0in April, where it is estimated to fetch about \u00a340,000 or nearly $53,000. The book, Ginsberg\u2019s collection of poems titled\u00a0Ankor Wat<\/em>, had belonged to the late\u00a0Sally Grossman<\/strong>, a friend of the singer and wife of Dylan\u2019s first manager,\u00a0Albert Grossman<\/strong>. For those keeping track, she was also Ginsberg\u2019s friend, who gifted her the book, itself a valuable collectible, with its hand-scrawled, dated, and signed inside title page.<\/p>\n \n\tYesterday,\u00a0President Trump<\/strong>\u2019s son Eric revealed plans for a presidential library in Miami that appears to be about 50 stories tall, and boasts two gold statues of Trump, along with reconstructions of parts of the White House, plus military vehicles. [The Washington Post]<\/p>\n Ruth Asawa<\/strong>\u2019s estate is opening a new permanent gallery in San Francisco\u2019s\u00a0Minnesota Street Project<\/strong>\u00a0this spring, with a show curated by the artist\u2019s daughters, timed to her centennial celebration. [\u00a0San Francisco Chronicle]<\/p>\n \n\tThe\u00a0Pinakotheken\u00a0<\/strong>art museums in Munich is restituting a Nazi-looted painting by\u00a0Lesser Ury<\/strong>\u00a0(1861\u20131931) to the heirs of the Berlin banker\u00a0Curt Goldschmidt<\/strong>. [ArtDependence]<\/p>\n \n\tFollowing a\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0story highlighting basic design blunders in plans for a new White House ballroom,\u00a0President Trump<\/strong>\u00a0showed reporters updated renderings of the project that appeared to take into consideration those critiques. [\u00a0The Washington Post]<\/p>\n DUCHAMP MADE YOU LOOK. Marcel Duchamp<\/strong>\u00a0was known to baffle audiences with his groundbreaking artworks, anda head of a major retrospective opening April 12, curators at New York\u2019s\u00a0Museum of Modern Art,<\/strong>\u00a0say the subversive artist continues to perplex even them, reports\u00a0Cultured Magazine\u00a0<\/em>. \u201cThe difficulty level is at a 15 out of 10, because everything he made is designed to confound the traditional systems of art as we know them,\u201d said chief curator at large\u00a0Michelle Kuo<\/strong>. \u201cYou would think that after over 100 years, we would know more facts about Duchamp,\u201d added Kuo, \u201cbut there have been so many misreadings and misunderstandings and games of telephone that proliferate.\u201d Indeed, visitors may need extra time to take in the April 12 to August 22 show, organized with \u201cdeadpan accuracy,\u201d and some 300 artworks. After all, the notion that Duchamp stopped working early to dedicate his life to chess, was yet another fabricated myth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/news\/germany-colonial-era-art-restitution-morning-links-march-31-2026-1234779464\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-830942782.jpg?w=1024″] To receive\u00a0Morning Links\u00a0in your inbox every weekday,\u00a0sign\u00a0up\u00a0for our\u00a0Breakfast with ARTnews\u00a0newsletter.
