Italian authorities have claimed that the late painter CY Twombly evaded taxes to the sum of $38.8 million. The amount is said to have come from a cache of some 40 paintings sold between 2005 and 2009 on which it is claimed the artist failed to pay tax.

Selected from five finalists Wendy will clean the air to an equivalent of taking 260 cars off the road, while the structure’s “spiky arms” engage visitors with blasts of cool air, music, water cannons and mists to…

The current retrospective of Yayoi Kusuma's body of work produced since the 1950's is quite remarkable. The show has been hung chronologically and it is interesting to see that even in her earliest works are traces of what later becomes her "signature style." In the dark and well composed works on paper in goauche, oil and pastels, one can already see the meticulous details and repetitive shapes which become more obsessive as the show progresses.

The quantity of work is astounding and…
