A dozen or so good pieces on good artists, from Michelangelo to Tracey Emin

width

First off, this was fascinating: on the works of Michelangelo found in a Florence vault.
This is a great story of a great artist: Durer painted himself at centre of renaissance altarpiece in revenge. Nice.
These embroidered works of Rima Day are stunning.
A very odd piece on one of my favorite artists, Gerhard Richter.
A worthwhile profile on American artist Christina Quarles.
A story on how one of Bob Ross’s painting fetched almost $10 million!
I highly recommend this video on Canadian street artist Rocky Dobey and how he sculpts Toronto’s memory.
For David Hockney fans, like myself, you will want to check that out.
A must read interview of the brilliant Tracey Emin.
Not an artist, but one of my favorite writers on the arts: blakegopnik and someone whose writing I always strive to read and think about.
If you like collage as much as I do, check out Mike McQuade.
This was kind sad: how Joshua Frankel’s fine art is lost in the Moynihan train hall in New York.
Finally a good photo essay on Sofia Coppola on the Photographs that Inspired Her Films.
