Happy Wednesday! Here\u2019s a round-up of who\u2019s moving and shaking in the art trade this week. Earlier this month, news broke that the mega-gallery Pace Gallery was laying off 50 staff and cutting its roster by 50 artists. In interviews, CEO Marc Glimcher repeatedly blamed a more-is-more art system and called the cuts a \u201cmodel correction.\u201d That framing was a bit rich for many artists and critics who felt it was too much like Dr. Frankenstein lamenting the monster he created. Count longtime\u00a0New York\u00a0magazine critic Jerry Saltz among them. In a column last week, Saltz\u00a0pulled no punches, dubbing Pace the \u201cFyre Festival of mega-galleries: all branding, hype, ambition, and promises of a future that never arrives.\u201d And before one writes off Saltz as \u201cOld Man Yells at Clouds,\u201d the critic is devastatingly specific, saying his issue is not with mega-galleries, but with Pace, which in his estimation, became \u201cmore like a clearinghouse\u201d under Glimcher that \u201cchased almost every art-world fad and growth strategy of the last decade.\u201d Ouch.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"iasd-liberalia-header\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/legatum.iarthislab.eu\/wp-content\/themes\/iasd-theme-four\/assets\/images\/flags\/en_rnd.svg\" class=\"iasd-liberalia-flag\"><span class=\"iasd-liberalia-sitename\">ARTNews<\/span>. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/list\/art-news\/market\/art-basel-switzerland-2026-best-booths-1234789539\/\">The Best Booths at Art Basel in Switzerland <\/a>. <span class=\"iasd-liberalia-date\">18 de June de 2026 00:03<\/span>. <span class=\"iasd-liberalia-keywords\">art, artistic, exhibition, museum, painting, artist, paintings, painter, museu, arte, paint, sculpture, history<\/span>.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"iasd-liberalia-brief\"><p>Art Basel, the world\u2019s largest art fair, opened its 2026 edition in Basel, Switzerland, with a busy VIP preview day on Tuesday. In front of Hall 2, queues remained relatively smooth, while in previous years art aficionados had already begun to gather outside. Inside, a constant hum made it clear that the aisles would be packed as soon as the fair opened at 11 a.m.\u2014and they were. The eager crowd rushed through the booths of 290 galleries from 43 countries, including 21 newcomers across all sectors. Novelties in Basel include the Zero 10 sector dedicated to digital and experimental practices, often including AI, immersive installations, and hybrid physical-virtual works. The point is highlighting new artistic formats rather than traditional gallery presentations. The New York\u2013based Boesky Gallery marks a double milestone at Art Basel this year, celebrating 25 years since its first participation at the fair, a solo for Rachel Feinstein in 2001. Featuring works by gallery artists like Ghada Amer, Jennifer Bartlett, and Sanford Biggers, the booth above all pays tribute to Mary Lovelace O\u2019Neal, who passed away in May, via the 11.5-foot-wide Purple Rain (ca. 1990).

Not that it had ever left. But dealers at the fair told\u00a0ARTnews\u00a0that their first day of sales was stronger than last year\u2019s. Swift deals closed at a steady pace, rather than frenzied one. Admittedly, that part of the fair was not back. Some dealers said that the day\u2019s \u201ceven\u201d rhythm, and the fact that many big-ticket works had not sold yet, was also a sign of a healthier, less-speculative market headed in the right direction. Many have worried that the trend toward more historic, modern, and established art is leaving contemporary artists in the dust, but by the sounds of it yesterday, dealers confirmed strong interest in the latter category, with broader sales made across their program. Could the auction enthusiasm for historic and ultra-established art be spreading over to other categories? It may be too early to tell, but so far, this year\u2019s Swiss fair marks a moment of transition in a better direction.Related ArticlesDealers 'Cautiously Optimistic' About Art Basel, Lawsuit Over National Garden of American Heroes, and More: Morning Links for June 16, 2026Kyi<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"iasd-liberalia-header\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/legatum.iarthislab.eu\/wp-content\/themes\/iasd-theme-four\/assets\/images\/flags\/en_rnd.svg\" class=\"iasd-liberalia-flag\"><span class=\"iasd-liberalia-sitename\">ARTNews<\/span>. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/news\/christophe-leribault-louvre-president-french-senate-warning-1234789495\/\">Louvre President Tells French Senate Museum Is \u2018at the End of Its Rope\u2019<\/a>. <span class=\"iasd-liberalia-date\">18 de June de 2026 00:03<\/span>. <span class=\"iasd-liberalia-keywords\">museum, art, exhibition, architecture<\/span>.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"iasd-liberalia-brief\"><p>Christophe Leribault, the Louvre\u2019s president-director since February, addressed the French Senate Wednesday, delivering an assessment that the storied Paris museum is \u201c\u00e0 bout de souffle,\u201d or \u201cat the end of its rope.\u201d The Louvre, the world\u2019s most-visited museum, and its aging infrastructure and outdated security have been a topic of international headlines since October 2025, when a group of thieves entered the museum by ascending a cherry picker and breaking into an upper-floor window, grabbing $102 million worth of crown jewels from its Galerie d\u2019Apollon within eight minutes, and then escaping the same way they came in. While French authorities have been making arrests in the case, the jewels have still not been recovered. The aftermath of the heist sparked multiple partial closures, delayed openings, and staff strikes this past December and January, with staff saying they are overworked and understaffed and that the museum needed greater investment in its infrastructure.

Umoja Art Gallery was founded in 2011 and represents over two dozen emerging and established artists. Since 2025, the gallery has also supported a residency program. One of the artists whose work Umoja planned to bring to Africa Basel is Makano, a young (born in 2000) Congolese artist based in Kampala. On Umoja\u2019s website, Makano writes about how his work, which addresses corrupt governments and societes, is \u201cborn out of depression and frustration.\u201d The Umoja Gallery sign calls out the disconnect between the idealized global nature of the art world and t<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"iasd-liberalia-header\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/legatum.iarthislab.eu\/wp-content\/themes\/iasd-theme-four\/assets\/images\/flags\/en_rnd.svg\" class=\"iasd-liberalia-flag\"><span class=\"iasd-liberalia-sitename\">ARTNews<\/span>. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/news\/menil-collection-teresita-fernandez-commission-1234789631\/\">Menil Collection Launches New Commission Program in Fresco Building<\/a>. <span class=\"iasd-liberalia-date\">18 de June de 2026 00:03<\/span>. <span class=\"iasd-liberalia-keywords\">artist, art, museum, sculpture, exhibition, history<\/span>.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"iasd-liberalia-brief\"><p>The Menil Collection in Houston will reopen its Fresco Building in late 2027, converting the space into a site for site-specific commissions.
