Dear All,
I am subscribed to the H-Museum list and it is quite active.  based in
Germany, there are quite a few posting regarding European events and topics.
every week there are "Weekly News Digest" postings, one for US and UK and
another for Europe.

If I hear positive response, then I'll be happy to post the US, UK news to
arlis-l.

Cheers,

-- jack

Anxiety and Hope in a Mystical Fusion
After their deaths even prominent artists are often neglected for a time
before they are again appreciated. This has been the case with Marc Chagall.
This Russian-born painter lived to such a ripe old age that he was already
out of fashion when he died in southern France in 1985 at the age of 98.
Many critics considered that his best work was done a half-century earlier

Medium and Message Unite in African Objects
One of the most persistent debates swirling around art today concerns
whether art objects speak for themselves or whether, like ventriloquists'
dummies, they simply say whatever we decide. I suspect it is a little of
both, with the ratio affected by your penchant for art theory and your
willingness to examine carefully both an art object's visible
characteristics and your own inner, often unpredictable responses
