In the span of two months, Sotheby's, Christie's and Bonhams will each see the culmination of years-long efforts to upgrade their regional headquarters in the southern Chinese city.

The book follows a young painter named Wyeth who\u2014perhaps like Taylor himself\u2014has drawn attention for work populated with Black characters, yet is being criticized for engaging either too much or too little with \u201cthe moment,\u201d depending on who\u2019s looking. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n\tDespite the seemingly well-worn autofictional premise, Taylor told the New Yorker in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/culture\/the-new-yorker-interview\/brandon-taylor-on-the-quandary-of-black-art\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">wide-ranging interview <\/a>that the novel is deeply invested in the idea of the novel as a representation of \u201csocial totality,\u201d a concept drawn from his readings of Marxist philosopher Gy\u00f6rgy Luk\u00e1cs, who famously theorized the form in 1955\u2019s The Historical Novel. As flippant as he can be online, Taylor remains a sharp and thoughtful critic, making this interview\u2014particularly its interrogation of \u201cBlack art\u201d\u2014well worth the read. \u2014Harrison Jacobs, Executive Digital Editor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Editor\u2019s Note:\u00a0This story originally appeared in\u00a0On Balance,\u00a0the ARTnews\u00a0newsletter about the art market and beyond.\u00a0Sign up here\u00a0to receive it&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":67837,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[437,434,435,436,438,7795,146,85,20952,48981,46,22878],"class_list":["post-67836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artsdesign","tag-design","tag-digital-art","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-industry-moves","tag-isamu-noguchi","tag-israel","tag-whitney-museum-of-american-art"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67836"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67836\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
