You Hear a Lot About Collectors Using Museums to Add Value to Their Art But What About the Reverse? The press likes to fret over the potential for art collectors to add value to their works by pressuring museums to display them. But there’s news today that collector Yusaku Maezawa might be doing the reverse. First, he aggressively bid for Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Untitled head to $110m. Now, he has offered the painting to the Brooklyn Museum to go on display until March 11th before going on a world tour. …

Pace to Open Second Hong Kong Space in H Queen Building with Nara Show: The Art Newspaper has the announcement that Pace, which recently expanded to Seoul, will open in the H Queen building in Hong Kong on March 26 with a show of Yoshitomo Nara’s work. …

Hong Kong’s H Queen Gallery Building Stymied By Bureaucracy: The purpose-built gallery haven H Queen, soon to be home to Zwirner and Hauser + Wirth galleries, was meant to solve the predicaments of showing Contemporary art by providing high ceilings and broad, windowed spaces that are fairly rare in the crowded city.

Just Don’t Call It Age Discrimination: NPR’s Morning Edition visits Carter Burden’s Chelsea Gallery that only shows artists over the age of 60. “With rare exceptions, artists who were hot when they started out found that galleries, and certainly museums, cooled to them as years passed. They kept making art, but weren’t being shown or bought. Carter Burden’s mission is to give them a wall, “because walls are the thing we need,”

Vaccaro said.”
