Here\u2019s a round-up of who\u2019s moving and shaking in the art trade this week.<\/p>\n Coco Fusco and Jeffrey Gibson Named Speakers for Johns Hopkins\u2019s Sam Gilliam Lecture Series:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>The artists will each deliver a free talk at the university\u2019s Bloomberg Center in Washington, D.C.\u2014Fusco on June 8, Gibson on November 12\u2014as part of a series supported by the Sam Gilliam Foundation.<\/p>\n Hamptons Black Arts Council Announces Plans for Sag Harbor Artist Residency:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>Founded in 2023 by artist and curator Storm Ascher, the nonprofit is raising funds to establish a permanent artist residency on Black-owned land in one of America\u2019s oldest free Black settlements.<\/p>\n MCA Denver Receives $1 Million Gift for Free Youth Admission:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>The donation from philanthropist Amanda Precourt, of the Precourt Foundation, will make entry free for all visitors 18 and under through June 30, 2031.<\/p>\n Xavier Hufkens Takes on Richard Aldrich<\/strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>The New York\u2013based painter will show with the Brussels gallery at Art Basel in June before a first solo exhibition there in spring 2027.<\/p>\n Galatea Announces Representation of Grauben do Monte Lima\u2019s Estate:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>The Brazilian gallery will represent the legacy of the late self-taught painter, who began painting at 70 and went on to produce an estimated 3,000 works before her death in 1972.<\/p>\n Green Art Gallery Adds Fatma Al Ali to Roster:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>The Sharjah-based artist works across sculpture, installation, and the moving image, drawing on archival research and oral histories to examine land, memory, and colonial frameworks in the Gulf region.<\/p>\n Richard Rezac Joins Chris Sharp Gallery:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0The influential American sculptor is known for precisely crafted works in bronze, aluminum, and wood that draw on furniture and architectural detail.<\/p>\n Oakland Museum of California Receives Gift of Ceramics and $1 Million Endowment:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>The Brian and Edith Heath Foundation donated more than 100 objects by pioneering California ceramicist Edith Heath, expanding the museum\u2019s Heath holdings to over 200 works, along with funds to support the long-term care of craft and decorative arts.<\/p>\n \n\tThat\u2019s the high estimate for Banksy\u2019s Girl and Balloon on Found Landscape<\/em>, a painting from the artist\u2019s \u201cCrude Oils\u201d\u00a0<\/em>series, set to hit the block in an invitation-only live auction staged by Fair Warning inside Tiffany & Co.\u2019s Fifth Avenue flagship. The sale is just the third time Fair Warning has staged a live auction. <\/p>\n \n\tThe art world may be focused on New York this week, after a Venice vernissage by turns celebratory and combustible, but the New York Times<\/em> has its eye further east. A feature by international editor Mercedes Hutton profiles one of Asia\u2019s most important art collectors, the Swiss businessman Uli Sigg, whose collection forms the backbone of Hong Kong\u2019s M+ museum. Sigg\u2019s intention was always to gift the collection\u2014a nearly 1,500-work group of Chinese contemporary art spanning everything from painting to performance and digital art\u2014to a Chinese institution, so that it could be seen by the public. M+ proved a perfect match, as its location in Hong Kong provided more freedom in what to exhibit. But, as Hutton lays out, Hong Kong has changed dramatically in the 15 years since his donation, leading to a narrowing of which works can be shown. Among the pieces no longer considered acceptable: a photograph from \u201cStudy of Perspective,\u201d a series by Ai Weiwei in which the artist\u2019s middle finger is raised before world landmarks. The photograph in question showed Ai\u2019s finger in front of Tiananmen Gate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/market\/coco-fusco-jeffrey-gibsons-public-lecture-industry-moves-may-13-2026-1234785178\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2025_09_15_Argenis_Apolinario_MET_Jeffrey_Gibson_3569.jpg?w=1024″] Editor\u2019s Note:\u00a0This story originally appeared in\u00a0On Balance,\u00a0the ARTnews\u00a0newsletter about the art market and beyond.\u00a0Sign up here\u00a0to receive it every Wednesday.
