Have a kid? Are you a kid at heart? The Andy Warhol Museum has been shortlisted for the Kids in Museums Family Friendly Museum Award From Home.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 22, 2020 The Andy Warhol Museum Shortlisted for International Award for Its Lockdown Activities A still from The Warhol’s Making It: Andy Warhol's Rorschach Painting Technique video. It was announced today that The Andy Warhol Museum has been shortlisted for the Kids in Museums Family Friendly Museum Award From Home. For the past 15 years, London-based charity Kids in Museums has run a prestigious award recognizing the most family-friendly heritage sites in the UK. This year, the charity asked families and museums to vote for what they thought was the best online activity for families during lockdown. For the first time, this included an international category. A panel of museum experts reviewed over 400 nominations and narrowed it down to a shortlist of 26 museums. Six museums from around the world are shortlisted for the Best International Digital Activity category, including The Warhol, who was recognized for its Making It video series, in which children and families can learn how to make many iconic Warhol-inspired artworks from home by watching educators demonstrate various processes. The series is featured on The Warhol’s YouTube page at youtube.com/thewarholmuseum and Facebook page at facebook.com/thewarholmuseum. Other museums shortlisted in the category include the Glazer Children’s Museum (USA), The Glucksman (Ireland), The Museum of Childhood Ireland Project (Ireland), National Gallery Singapore (Singapore), and the Rijksmuseum (Netherlands). “This video series was our rapid response to The Warhol’s closure due to COVID-19. It was our way of maintaining Warhol’s relevancy while sustaining engagement with our audiences,” said Nicole Dezelon, assistant director of learning. “By adapting Warhol’s artistic processes and techniques using common, household materials, we were able to reach students, families, and makers of all ages virtually from the comfort of home. We are honored to be shortlisted by Kids in Museums for the Best International Digital Activity Family Friendly Museum From Home award.” Over the summer, family judges will try out all the activities and their feedback will decide a winner and highly commended award for each category. The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in October 2020. Follow the Family Friendly Museum Award From Home on Twitter by following @KidsInMuseums and #FamilyFriendlyMuseum. The Family Friendly Museum Award From Home has been made possible by funding from Arts Council England. About Kids in Museums Kids in Museums are a charity dedicated to making museums open and welcoming to all children, young people and families. They support and champion family friendly organizations through wide-ranging initiatives, including the Family Friendly Museum Award and Takeover Day. They invite heritage organizations to sign up to their Manifesto, which sets out simple guidelines for making museums easy to reach for all ages.

Galerie St. Etienne's Art Market Report.

Max Beckmann: The Tall Man, 1921, etching on cream wove paper, worked over in ink.

2020 ART MARKET REPORT Where Do We Go From Here? “Capitalism is a hungry monster, and during its unopposed ascendancy over the past decades it gobbled up the art world.” —Jane Kallir Well before the coronavirus, it was evident that the art world had expanded beyond the limits of sustainability. The ascendancy of mega-dealers, art fairs and auction houses has shifted the focus from a pure love for the art itself to a display of money and glamour. The past few years have already seen a pushback against these market trend setters. Will our post-pandemic art world accelerate a much-needed reset? Read Gallery Director Jane Kallir’s analysis in The Art Newspaper.   Egon Schiele: Death and Maiden (Man and Girl), 1915, oil on canvas. Collection Belvedere, Vienna. Photo: Johannes Stoll © Belvedere, Vienna. PODCAST Radiolab: Dispatches from 1918 Not widely reported during its peaks, the 1918 Spanish Flu has been referenced often of late as we consider our own future in light of the COVID-19 outbreak. In a segment with Radiolab producer Latif Nasser, Jane Kallir comments on Egon Schiele, a now-iconic figure whose art and life were deeply impacted by the pandemic. Schiele was confronted in rapid succession with the tragic deaths of his mentor Gustav Klimt and his wife Edith, who was pregnant with their first child. Twenty-eight years old and at the height of his career, the Austrian artist channeled his grief into emotionally-charged portraits of Klimt and Edith, only to succumb to the flu himself on the day of his wife’s funeral. More than a century later, we can't help but speculate as to what could have been had Schiele survived.
