...Warhol-ics. Warhol's Wide World at the Grand Palais museum in Paris is the first exhibition of 250 Andy Warhol paintings and prints - about 150 of which are coming out of private collections for the first time. Six Concorde Hotels & Resorts located around Paris have an exclusive partnership with the museum to give their guests VIP tickets (you'll get to jump to the front of the line to see what some people are calling one of the biggest art events of the year). If you really want to keep with the art theme, ask for the Pissarro suite...

The text accompanying the images dares the observer to “obey,” seeking to prompt passersby...
...push museums - or, in the case of campus museums, the schools that own them - to go to every other fundraising and budget-cutting option first. Otherwise the temptation for them to treat their collections as disposable assets would be constant and irresistible. A canvas by Picasso or Warhol could be some of the most valuable square footage in the world. (Valuable and portable. A university's cyclotron may also be worth quite a bit, but just try to load it on a truck.) And in times of trouble, the collections of campus museums are especially vulnerable, because they figure...
