Frank Stella, the ‘Father of Minimalism’ Has Died, Age 87
Frank Stella, the pioneering American artist best known for his minimal abstract paintings, passed away over the weekend at his West Village home in New York, age 87.

Newly Attributed Caravaggio Painting That Nearly Sold for $1,600 USD to Exhibit at Prado Museum
A newly attributed painting by the 16th century Italian artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio will soon go on view at Madrid's Prado Museum. The artwork, which measures 43.7 x 33.8 inches and depicts Jesus Christ wearing a crown of thorns prior to his crucifixion, nearly sold at a Spanish auction house in 2021 for $1,600 USD, as it was widely believed to be the work of Caravaggio's disciple, José de Ribera.

Entitled Ecce Homo (1605-09), the work is believed to have once been in the private coll...
