MILAN — The most startling pairing in The Great Mother, an exhibition that tracks the iconography of motherhood in art and popular culture from 1900 to 2015, is a sculptural standoff between Sarah Lucas and Thomas Schütte. Occupying more or less the exhibition’s midpoint — room 16 of the 29 devoted to this vast and rich show at the Palazzo Reale, the former seat of Milan’s municipal government — Schütte’s über-masculine bronze statue “Vater Staat” (“Father State”) (2010) looms large near the center of the room, while Lucas’s cocoon-like sculpture of fluff-filled tights, “Mumum” (2012), hangs in a corner.

But if you like cats, Carolee Schneemann, and/or Carol Rama, Fini’s erotic and theatrical avant-gardism may be just for you.

PARIS — A nomadic but steady hand is clearly sensed in Marcel Duchamp’s work. He is often an excellent painter. But it is also true that with Duchamp’s legacy of conceptually anti-retinal art (and anti-art), there is something so pregnant with free-floating information that it electrifies and upsets some painters. And thus returns them, I hope, to experimental restlessness.

Along with a small trove of new acquisitions that includes a Paul Cézanne painting of his mountain muse, the Sainte-Victoire, and a shimmering portrait of a young girl by Berthe Morisot, the PMA has received a gift of two portraits Duchamp painted of a lifelong friend’s parents — one very formal and conventional, the other utterly enigmatic.

BRIGHTON, UK — Swapping out pieces in a game of chess is only a smart move provided you hold the most on the board, or at least the strongest position. But a new show at the Barbican in London suggests chess could be a “metaphor of exchange” between the artists it lines up

According to local news station KTHV, botanical artist Tonie Atkinson has been fined $10,000 and is expected to show up in a Garland County court next month to answer for a yard crowded by toilets she deems art. “Just because you can’t appreciate it, doesn’t make it not art,” Atkinson told the station.
