A Canadian woman was killed in a shooting Monday atop the ancient\u00a0Teotihuac\u00e1n<\/strong>\u00a0Pyramid of the Moon,\u00a0<\/strong>just outside Mexico City, reports the\u00a0New York Times<\/em>.\u00a0In addition to the slain tourist, several other visitors from the United States, Brazil, and Colombia, including two children, were wounded when a man opened fire at the popular\u00a0UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/strong>. He then killed himself. \u201cWhat happened today in Teotihuac\u00e1n pains us deeply,\u201d said Mexican President\u00a0Claudia Sheinbaum<\/strong>\u00a0on social media. The incident has raised security concerns ahead of this summer\u2019s\u00a0World Cup<\/strong>, when the ancient site will also play host to an immersive night show, according to the\u00a0BBC<\/em>.<\/p>\n ALL IN THE FAMILY. Diego Rivera<\/strong>\u2019s grandson,\u00a0Juan Rafael Coronel Rivera<\/strong>, has donated 157,300 objects from his personal collection to the\u00a0Museo Anahuacalli<\/strong>\u00a0in Mexico City, which Rivera the elder had envisioned as part of a \u201ccity of the arts,\u201d reports the\u00a0Art Newspaper<\/em>. The trove of items doesn\u2019t contain paintings by Rivera, or his wife\u00a0Frida Kahlo\u00a0<\/strong>, but it significantly expands the institution\u2019s holdings with photographs, prints, ceramics, textiles, and documents, as well as letters from both artists\u2019 personal libraries, as well as pre-Hispanic art, which forms the bulk of the museum\u2019s displays. During his lifetime, Diego Rivera himself set up a trust with the Banco de M\u00e9xico to keep the Museo Anahuacalli and the\u00a0Museo Frida Kahlo<\/strong>\u00a0(aka the\u00a0Casa Azul<\/strong>)\u00a0open to the public. Rivera \u201cconceived this museum not only as an exhibition space but as a place where collecting would be a form of knowledge,\u201d said the museum\u2019s director,\u00a0Teresa Moya<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tIn a first, archaeologists have found a papyrus fragment of\u00a0Homer\u2019s\u00a0Iliad<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0preserved inside the gut of a Roman-era Egyptian mummy, located in present-day Al-Bahnasa, Egypt.

[ARTnews]<\/p>\n \n\tMetal detectorists in France are \u201cerasing history\u201d by removing objects from their archaeological context, according to French authorities; meanwhile, in England, they are seen as contributing to it. [Le Monde]<\/p>\n Diane Keaton<\/strong>\u2019s personal belongings, including her unmistakable wardrobe, Hollywood ephemera, and art collection, are on their way to auction at\u00a0Bonhams<\/strong>.

The scale of the \u201990s New York scene remained small, for instance, something that would spark concern today. But not that long ago, it facilitated buzzy gatherings around impactful exhibitions and art happenings. Before social media and mega international events and amid a recession that was \u201cleveling the playing field,\u201d per Saltz, the scene thrived by attracting an eclectic and curious world that shared a passion for art and was willing to try just about anything. Despite its drawbacks, Saltz\u2019s depiction is enough to make you wish you were there, or at least, to feel proud to have been around for a sliver of it. As Saltz put it: \u201cIt was the greatest period of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/news\/teotihuacan-pyramid-shooting-morning-links-april-21-2026-1234782051\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GettyImages-2271736939.jpg?w=1024″] To receive\u00a0Morning Links\u00a0in your inbox every weekday,\u00a0sign\u00a0up\u00a0for our\u00a0Breakfast with ARTnews\u00a0newsletter.
