Wolf Kahn’s Legacy Takes Root in NYC

An archive and a new café spring to life, while an artist’s early work finds a new home.

The Wolf Kahn Foundation has opened its doors at 134 West 26th Street in New York City. Ellen McCulloch-Lovell, the foundation's president, explained that Kahn always returned to his studio in NYC despite traveling widely. The archive will offer a trove of research materials for scholars and admirers alike.


Meanwhile, MoMA PS1 is getting more than just a makeover; it’s also welcoming Symone, a new café led by chef DeVonn Francis, with its Caribbean-inspired menu set to launch in early October.


Around the globe, museums are adding significant acquisitions. The Mississippi Museum of Art has bolstered its collection with works by Tommy Kha and Doy Gorton, while the Cape Ann Museum received an exquisite 1934 Rothko watercolor from his son Christopher.


Curator positions and appointments continue to be filled, with Wolf Burchard taking charge at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Elizabeth S. Humphrey joining the Portland Museum as curator of American Art. Other notable appointments include May Makki as associate curator at the Storefront for Art and Architecture.


In a wildcard twist, digital artist Lily Belmira has created a playable video game based on Michael Heizer’s Land Art sculpture ‘City’, making it accessible to more than just six visitors per day.
