The New York Times Introduces You to Lucio Fontana’s Ground-Breaking Environments:  A short 360˚video of the new exhibition in Milan of Fontana’s environments reminds us, the curator Marina Pugliese says, just how far ahead of his time Fontana really was.

Arthena Opens Office in Luxembourg: Bloomberg runs a piece on Arthena, the art-fund that pivoted from backing art advisors to manage funds of emerging artists to applying data to manage its art funds, that tells us the firm is opening an office in Luxembourg, the home of Deloitte’s Art & Finance practice which also just happened to feature Arthena in its latest annual report:

  • D’Angelo, who has a master’s degree in museum studies from Harvard and worked at the Smithsonian, founded Arthena in 2013 with her brother Michael, 27, who studied computational and mathematical engineering at Stanford; he’s the chief technology officer. The company also has an office in San Francisco and is opening one in Luxembourg, the center of the art investing world. …

Christie’s Latin American Sale = $16,633,500: Most of the sales were well-estimated works by stalwarts of the category like Botero, Torres-Garcia, Bravo, Cruz-Diez and Tamayo. Tomás Sánchez’s A veces la gracia parece una cascada sold for $143,750 over a $60-80k estimate.
