Such a move was feared by those who warned that the administration would be emboldened by the Supreme Court\u2019s recent\u00a0greenlighting\u00a0of Trump\u2019s ballroom pet project, erected on the White House\u2019s demolished East Wing, as the\u00a0Time<\/em>s reports. Yet the Thursday\u00a0announcement\u00a0on social media that construction would start was\u2014even for this administration\u2014something of a slap in the face to ordinary legal processes. The administration now appears to have brushed aside its own previous displays of commitment to at least some legal requirements, such as providing 14 days\u2019 notice in a legal filing before going ahead with the arch construction. \u201cThis demonstrates that they\u2019ve never really taken seriously what they\u2019ve been saying to the court, which is \u2018allow the process to work itself out,\u2019\u201d said\u00a0Nicolas Sansone<\/strong>, a lawyer for Public Citizen Litigation Group.<\/p>\n FEELING THE HEAT<\/strong>.\u00a0Record heatwaves<\/strong>\u00a0in France cost museums and monuments hundreds of thousands of dollars in\u00a0lost revenue<\/strong>, with the\u00a0Louvre<\/strong>\u00a0taking at least \u20ac1 million ($1.16 million) in losses, reports\u00a0Le Monde<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0The Center of National Monuments<\/strong>\u00a0also reported it had to reimburse as much as \u20ac525,000 ($610,000) in ticket sales, following a series of closures at public museums and monuments, that were ill-equipped to deal with the heat. Institutions also reported a\u00a0drop in attendance<\/strong>\u00a0due to visitors avoiding city centers and venturing outdoors.<\/p>\n \n\tIf the far-right\u00a0Alternative for Germany (AfD)<\/strong>\u00a0grabs key votes in this weekend\u2019s regional elections, as projected, the arts sector risks facing potential restrictions on funding, such as showing adequate proof of being \u201cfor Germany.\u201d [The Art Newspaper]<\/p>\n \n\tThe\u00a0Faro Santander<\/strong>, a new private museum and cultural center on the northern coast of Spain, is opening in the\u00a0David Chipperfield<\/strong>-remodeled headquarters of\u00a0Banco Santander<\/strong>, featuring a collection featuring works by Rubens, Vel\u00e1zquez, El Greco, Goya, and Van Dyck, as well as a temporary exhibition from the\u00a0Gelman Santander Collection<\/strong>,\u00a0controversially\u00a0traveling from Mexico. [El Pais]\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tPolice unwittingly rushed to what they believed was a night rescue mission at Vancouver\u2019s\u00a0Access Gallery<\/strong>, only to learn that the body of a person stuck halfway through a wooden art crate was a sculpture by\u00a0Allysa Pierre<\/strong>. [The Art Newspaper]<\/p>\n Minor Attractions<\/strong>, the alternative London fair, will stage its largest edition to date with over 75 participating galleries in a new location at the Fitzrovia luxury hotel The Newman, from October 13 to 17. [Minor Attractions]<\/p>\n \n\tThe acclaimed actress\u00a0Sandra H\u00fcller<\/strong>\u00a0will play the late German writer and painter\u00a0Wolfgang Herrndorf<\/strong>\u00a0(1965\u20132013) in a film titled\u00a0Work and Structure<\/em>, based on the artist\u2019s autobiographical writing, and directed by\u00a0Maria Schrader<\/strong>. [Monopol]<\/p>\n SEEDS OF HOPE<\/strong>. In\u00a0Tehran\u2019s inaugural art month<\/strong>, artists are grappling with and surviving the violence around them\u2014whether from the\u00a0war with the US and Israel<\/strong>, or from their own regime\u2014through their creations, reports the\u00a0Financial Times<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cIt\u2019s a way of life for us. Now we have to continue as a social responsibility. Art is saving us,\u201d said one gallerist who asked not to be named. Artworks on view in a series of gallery and city-wide venues don\u2019t shy from addressing politically sensitive issues either, such as\u00a0women\u2019s rights<\/strong>. Yet participants are modest about what impact they may have. \u201cThis art fair will not create a serious shock to the visual arts scene, nor are we seeking an immediate impact,\u201d said\u00a0Hossein Mohseni<\/strong>, director of Tehran Art Month and Artibition. \u201cRather, we are sowing the seeds of hope for long-term growth.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/news\/morning-links-september-4-2026-1234797046\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/GettyImages-2241289844.jpg?w=1024″] To receive\u00a0Morning Links\u00a0in your inbox every weekday,\u00a0sign\u00a0up\u00a0for our\u00a0Breakfast with ARTnews\u00a0newsletter.
