Feminist icon\u00a0Gloria Steinem<\/strong>\u00a0has died at 92, reports\u00a0NBC News<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cYesterday, Gloria Steinem passed away peacefully at her home in New York City, surrounded by some of the many who loved her,\u201d stated\u00a0her official\u00a0Instagram<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0page today. In addition to her pioneering work advocating for women\u2019s rights and social justice, Steinem also kept deep relationships with women artists, notably including\u00a0Barbara Nessim<\/strong>,\u00a0Annie Leibovitz<\/strong>, and\u00a0Judy Chicago<\/strong>. She first visited the feminist art space\u00a0WomanHouse<\/strong>\u00a0in Los Angeles in 1972, founded by Chicago and\u00a0Miriam Schapiro<\/strong>, and told an audience at a\u00a0Hammer Museum<\/strong>\u00a0gala, per\u00a0The Art Newspaper<\/em><\/strong>, that until then \u201cart seemed to be what men did in the European tradition.\u201d From then on, she learned that \u201cwomen had symbols too,\u201d while also affirming: \u201cI can divide my life into before and after Judy Chicago.\u201d<\/p>\n WHAT\u2019S IN A NAME?<\/strong>\u00a0Chinese participants have threatened to withdraw from the\u00a0Gwangju Biennale<\/strong>\u00a0two days before it starts, in protest of the restored \u201cTaiwan Pavilion\u201d name designating the exhibition by Taiwanese participants, reports\u00a0The Korea Times<\/em><\/strong>. The pavilion\u2019s name was initially altered in promotional materials to reference the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts (NTMoFA), but following an outcry from participants who alleged an act of \u201cpolitical censorship\u201d to satiate China, it was returned to its current \u201cTaiwan Pavilion\u201d name. However, the restored \u201cTaiwan Pavilion\u201d title rebuts a \u201cOne China\u201d ideology that South Korea is required to respect, according to the Chinese Embassy in South Korea. Unless the international contemporary art exhibition organizers rename the pavilion once again, Chinese participants will reportedly cancel their participation in the China Pavilion, for which they have already stopped preparations.<\/p>\n \n\tIn the latest escalation, a\u00a0Trump<\/strong>\u00a0administration<\/strong>\u00a0letter has threatened to cut federal agency support to the\u00a0Smithsonian Institution<\/strong>\u00a0if leaders of the institution don\u2019t denounce an alleged \u201cideological agenda\u201d in compliance with the current US leader\u2019s political views.

[ARTnews]<\/p>\n \n\tHere\u2019s a first look into the much-awaited\u00a0Lucas Museum of Narrative Art<\/strong>in Los Angeles, and it\u2019s not all about\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>. [The New York Times]<\/p>\n \n\tFriendly French-UK diplomatic ties were on full display as\u00a0King Charles\u00a0<\/strong>and French President\u00a0Emmanuel Macron\u00a0<\/strong>jointly visited the\u00a0Bayeux Tapestry<\/strong>\u00a0exhibition at the\u00a0British Museum<\/strong>. [Le Monde]<\/p>\n Maurizio Cattelan<\/strong>\u00a0gave a wide-ranging interview ahead of a major show at Berlin\u2019s\u00a0Neue Nationalgalerie<\/strong>, and observes that right-leaning governments use an old scapegoating strategy to maintain power. \u201cWe have always these enemies that are offered to us. They give us problems that probably we don\u2019t have,\u201d he said. [The Guardian]<\/p>\n KUSAMA CONUNDRUM<\/strong>. The last decade of\u00a0Yayoi Kusama<\/strong>\u2019s life is shrouded in mystery, given the artist\u2019s increasing isolation and poor health. However, that was also one of the most artistically prolific periods of her career, observes Zachary Small for\u00a0The<\/em>\u00a0New York Times<\/em><\/strong>, in a story\u00a0that raises questions about how involved Kusama could have been in making those later works, worth many millions. The story never directly claims that Kusama did not properly oversee her artworks. Still, it nevertheless casts further doubt on how she could have done so while also being mostly bedridden, particularly in the case of a signed and dated 2024 new pumpkin sculpture in Tokyo, or in the making of over 450 handbags and other luxury items through her Louis Vuitton collaboration in 2023. While many artists use assistants to help produce works, it is understood that they closely oversee the process. Her foundation, however, claims that \u201cshe remained actively engaged in making paintings from her hospital room\u201d until July.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/news\/morning-links-september-3-2026-1234796883\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/GettyImages-1180717492.jpg?w=1024″] To receive\u00a0Morning Links\u00a0in your inbox every weekday,\u00a0sign\u00a0up\u00a0for our\u00a0Breakfast with ARTnews\u00a0newsletter.
