- Local pride 23 mai 2013THE Hong Kong art market is strong and prosperous, buoyed by low taxes and free of the censorship that inhibits much of the art on the mainland. But the local scene has long felt overshadowed by the big-name Chinese contemporary artists. So many were jittery at the opening today of the inaugural Art Basel Hong Kong, concerned that an influx of big galleries […]
- Short but sweet 23 mai 2013LYDIA DAVIS makes for an inspiring choice for the Man Booker International prize, awarded last night in London*. Though she is hardly a household name, her work has been disproportionately influential and enjoys a devoted following. She is best known for her short stories, which are crisp, spare, incisive and slyly funny. They tend to be very short—a couple […]

Casual strollers wandered into the plaza, their curiosity piqued by the small army of construction workers unfurling and hanging a tapestry-like artwork across the façade of the RA’s Burlington House. “It reminds me of Klimt,” said one […]

Designed to draw attention to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's new exhibition “Punk: Chaos to Couture”, the Met's annual sartorial gala promised a frothy mess of leather and lace concoctions on pilates-toned li […]
- Heavy handed 17 mai 2013WHEN a trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” was released last year, aficionados of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece wasted no time in complaining about how fast, flashy and altogether Baz-Luhrmann-ish it was. Such sceptics won’t be placated by the film itself.
