Naomi Beckwith has announced the all-woman artistic team leading Documenta 16.<\/p>\n

Naomi Beckwith, deputy director and chief curator of the Guggenheim, has assembled<\/a> an all-women artistic team to shape Documenta 16, set for 2027 in Kassel. Joining her are curator Carla Acevedo-Yates, scholar Romi Crawford, poet and editor Mayra A. Rodr\u00edguez Castro, and curator Xiaoyu Weng. The group brings expertise across diasporic art, Black cultural movements, feminist theory, and decolonial practices, marking a significant shift for the influential exhibition. Their appointment comes as Documenta navigates criticism over a recently introduced code of conduct that links antisemitism with opposition to Israel.<\/p>\n

After a 12-year hiatus, Egypt\u2019s Alexandria art biennale will return next year.<\/p>\n

After more than a decade away, the Alexandria Biennale will return<\/a> in September 2026 with its 27th edition. Artist Moataz Nasr will curate the exhibition, titled \u201cThis Too Shall Pass,\u201d which will feature 55 artists from across the Mediterranean alongside programs highlighting emerging Egyptian talent. Founded in 1955, the biennale once served as a key platform for regional artists but was derailed by political upheaval and financial strain following Egypt\u2019s 2011 revolution. Next year\u2019s revival will draw on the city\u2019s layered history, with venues ranging from the Roman amphitheater to the Qaitbay Citadel.<\/p>\n

Patricia Urquiola and Haworth will create a central installation for this year\u2019s Alcova Miami venue.<\/p>\n

Alcova Miami will return this December\u00a0 to the historic Miami River Inn, for its third edition, coinciding with Miami Art Week. For the first time, family-owned office furniture manufacturer Haworth joins as a main partner and will collaborate with Patricia Urquiola on a central installation for the venue\u2019s plaza. The project continues Alcova\u2019s tradition of site-specific interventions, weaving experimental design into the fabric of the 1908 property.<\/p>\n

Est\u00e9e Lauder has warned of a $100 million tariff hit come fiscal year 2026.<\/p>\n

Est\u00e9e Lauder has projected<\/a> full-year profits below Wall Street expectations and warned of a $100 million tariff impact in fiscal 2026, reflecting ongoing pressures from unpredictable U.S. trade policies. The company has experienced declining sales in skincare and makeup, with U.S. and China markets showing particular weakness, contributing to a widened quarterly loss of $546 million. In response, new CEO St\u00e9phane de La Faverie is accelerating product launches, adjusting luxury pricing, and shifting U.S. production for China-bound goods to Japan and Europe to mitigate tariff exposure. The company also anticipates significant restructuring charges of up to $1.6 billion before taxes next year.<\/p>\n

Joe Caroff, the graphic designer behind the James Bond logo, has died aged 103.<\/p>\n

Joe Caroff<\/a>, the graphic designer behind the James Bond series\u2019 007 gun logo and the posters for films such as West Side Story, Cabaret, Manhattan, and A Hard Day\u2019s Night, has died at 103. Over a career spanning more than 300 campaigns, often uncredited, Caroff became known for his inventive adaptations of typography and imagery, from the Manhattan skyline in Manhattan to the playful scuffing and layering in West Side Story. His design for the James Bond logo, inspired by the Walther PPK, emerged spontaneously and became a global symbol, though he never received royalties or broad recognition. Beyond film posters, Caroff also created opening title sequences, always striving to imbue his work with what he called \u201ceffervescence.\u201d<\/p>\n
