Here\u2019s a round-up of the art trade\u2019s comings and goings:<\/p>\n Tina Kim Gallery to Represent Estate of Kim Lim: <\/strong>The gallery will show work by the Singaporean British sculptor and printmaker at Art Basel in June, ahead of a 2027 solo show\u2014the first-ever US presentation of her work.<\/p>\n Yinka Shonibare Joins Mennour: <\/strong>The Paris gallery will stage its first solo exhibition of the interdisciplinary British artist in October.<\/p>\n Pace Gallery to Represent Br\u00e2ncu\u0219i Estate: <\/strong>The gallery will serve as the estate\u2019s global representative and stage an exhibition of the Romanian modernist\u2019s work in London this fall. The Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin is currently surveying Br\u00e2ncu\u0219i\u2019sart.<\/p>\n Clarissa Morales Named Chief Operating Officer of the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth:<\/strong> She joins from the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, where she has served as deputy director since 2023 and helped lead the 58th and 59th editions of Carnegie International. She begins July 1 as the first COO in the museum\u2019s history.<\/p>\n \n\tCould it be anything else? That\u2019s the total, with fees, for Jackson Pollock\u2019s 1948 drip painting Number 7A, 1948<\/em>, once owned by media magnate S. I. Newhouse. The sale smashed the artist\u2019s previous record of $61 million, set at Sotheby\u2019s New York in 2021, and was, by far, the top sale of the week. The winning bid went to Christie\u2019s global president Alex Rotter, on behalf of an unnamed buyer, after a spirited 10-minute bidding war.<\/p>\n \n\tIn \u201cblink and you\u2019ll miss it\u201d news, Elon Musk\u2019s X proved that it still has the juice to stoke the internet\u2019s ire earlier this week. A user by the handle of SHLOMS posted a cropped image of a Monet painting with the caption, \u201cI just generated an image in the style of a Monet painting using AI. Please describe, in as much detail as possible, what makes this inferior to a real Monet painting.\u201d The ragebait had the intended effect, going viral as users explained why the Monet work was not, in fact, by Monet. Perhaps, unsurprisingly, more than a few eagle-eyed art historians spotted the gambit and called it out, not that they were believed. In any case, Futurism<\/em>\u2019s Maggie Harrison Dupr\u00e9 has a full rundown of the tempest in a teapot, with all the best posts from the fracas in one place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/market\/yinka-shonibare-joins-mennour-fake-monet-industry-moves-1234786535\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PORTRA_1.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.
