Collector Maxim Karolik gifted this peacock weather vane, created about 1860 to 75.Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
It was 1939 or 1940, by his own recollection, when collector Maxim Karolik showed a group of Museum of Fine Arts curators the paintings heâd gathered around Lenox. âThis is the part I call a little sad,â he said, speaking to Brian OâDoherty for WGBH TVâs âInvitation to Artâ in 1962.
The curators wanted names to validate the pictures, Karolik said, while he and his wife had the opposite intent. âOur motto was not âTell me who the painter is and Iâll tell you whether the painting is good,ââ he said, his gravelly voice thick with an accent that made him sound like a Hollywood Dracula. âOur motto is âTell me if the painting is good, and I donât care who the painter is!â
While some museums are closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Apollo’s usual weekly pick of exhibitions will include shows at institutions that are currently open as well as digital projects providing virtual access to art and culture.
Since the invention of electric lighting, designers, architects, engineers and artists have been enthralled with the possibilities that this light source presents. This display at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston explores how lighting design has evolved over the last century, from elaborate electric chandeliers to the humble desk lamp. Devices designed by the likes of Ingo Maurer and Gaetano Pesce are on display, while three large-scale artistic installations have been created specifically for the exhibition (27 February–16 May).

Barbara Rose, who has died aged 84, was an art historian, curator, critic, filmmaker and pioneer in several fields of scholarship, ranging from the art of Romanesque Spain to contemporary Minimalism.
She championed the history of American art, and her first book, American Art since 1900: A Critical History (1967) was published in fourteen languages. In the 1960s and 70s her “ABC Art”, published in Art in America in October 1965, was recognised as a pivotal text; comparing the ideas of Kasimir Malevich and Marcel Duchamp, she examined the evolution of those American artists who were soon to be labelled Minimalists – among them Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, Frank Stella, Richard Tuttle and Andy Warhol.
