\n\tGood Morning!<\/p>\n
CCA HUANGING ON.<\/strong>\u00a0Nvidia<\/strong>\u00a0founder\u00a0Jensen Huang<\/strong>\u00a0is making waves in the art world. Just days after Sotheby\u2019s sold his beloved leather jacket for nearly $1 million, Vanderbilt University has unveiled plans to keep art and design at the heart of the former California College of the Arts campus, following a $75 million donation from Huang and his wife, Lori.\u00a0The Art Newspaper<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>reports\u00a0that the university will open the Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang College of Art, Architecture, and Design in San Francisco in 2027, while preserving CCA\u2019s archives and continuing its programs through a new institute. The move comes after CCA announced it would close amid declining enrollment and a $20 million deficit. The takeover offers a lifeline to the Bay Area\u2019s creative community following the struggles of the 120-year-old art school.<\/p>\n THE NETWORK GAP.<\/strong>\u00a0A new study published in\u00a0Nature Communications<\/em>\u00a0and co-authored by art-market economist\u00a0Magnus Resch<\/strong>\u00a0argues that gender inequality in the art world is shaped not only by who gets exhibited, but by the institutional networks that build careers. As\u00a0The Art Journal<\/em>\u00a0reported, researchers analyzed the exhibition histories of more than 65,000 contemporary artists and found that the gender makeup of the museums and galleries with which an artist is connected can be a stronger predictor of auction success than the artist\u2019s own gender. The study found that women remain underrepresented across exhibitions and the market, with the most prestigious institutions often showing the greatest imbalance. Resch argues that change requires diversifying the networks through which recognition begins.<\/p>\n \n\tThree ancient\u00a0Egyptian<\/strong>\u00a0tombs with rare inscriptions have been uncovered at Saqqara, offering new clues about\u00a0New Kingdom<\/strong>\u00a0ties to the\u00a0Near East<\/strong>.

[ARTnews]<\/p>\n LONDON CALLING (AT A PRICE). Jessica Morgan<\/strong>\u00a0is returning to\u00a0Tate<\/strong>\u00a0as its new director after leaving a far more lucrative role at New York\u2019s\u00a0Dia Art Foundation<\/strong>. Morgan earned around $814,000 in her final year at Dia but will take a significant pay cut when she begins leading Tate, where her predecessor, Maria Balshaw, earned roughly \u00a3220,000. As\u00a0The Guardian<\/em>\u00a0reported, the move highlights the stark financial differences between major US cultural institutions and UK museums, which continue to face funding pressures. Morgan, best known for ambitious exhibitions and fundraising success at Dia, now faces the challenge of bringing that experience to one of Britain\u2019s most important arts institutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/news\/san-francisco-art-school-renamed-for-silicon-valley-tycoon-new-tate-director-takes-big-pay-cut-morning-links-for-july-23-2026-1234793248\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/GettyImages-2222627505.jpg?w=1024″] Good Morning!
