The recently-reopened Frick Collection has appointed Julia Day as its chief conservator.<\/p>\n

Julia Day has returned to the Frick Collection as chief conservator, bringing nearly two decades of institutional knowledge and a steady, detail-oriented approach. She previously helped establish the museum\u2019s early conservation program in a modest space and later honed her craft at the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi. In her new role, Day will oversee the state-of-the-art Sherman\u202fFairchild Center for Art Conservation\u2014a major upgrade that includes a radiography lab and expanded workspace. Her appointment ensures the Frick\u2019s newly enhanced conservation infrastructure reflects the same thoughtful stewardship seen throughout its recent renovation.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s AI Overviews are feared to present an \u201cexistential threat\u201d to news organizations.<\/p>\n

News organizations are raising alarms<\/a> over Google\u2019s AI Overviews, citing new research that shows steep declines in website traffic when summaries appear above search results. A study by analytics firm Authoritas found that first-ranked links can lose nearly 80% of their traffic when displaced by A.I.-generated answers. Another report, from the Pew Research Center, showed that users rarely click links beneath these summaries\u2014only once in every 100 searches. Critics, including the News Media Association and advocacy groups like Foxglove, accuse Google of siphoning content to boost its own tools while undermining the sustainability of independent journalism.<\/p>\n

Art Basel Miami Beach confirms 285 exhibitors will show at its next edition.<\/p>\n

Art Basel Miami Beach will host<\/a> 285 galleries in its upcoming edition, maintaining the same number as last year. Returning heavyweights include Hauser & Wirth, Gagosian, and David Zwirner. The fair\u2019s Meridians sector, devoted to large-scale projects, will return with new curation by Jos\u00e9 Esparza Chong Cuy.

The Notre-Dame cathedral will soon welcome its own A.I.-powered \u201cdigital twin,\u201d care of Microsoft.<\/p>\n

Microsoft will create a centimeter-accurate digital twin<\/a> of Notre-Dame Cathedral using A.I., drones, lasers, and imaging technology, in partnership with Iconem and France\u2019s Ministry of Culture. The model will help conservators monitor structural changes, support future restoration, and allow scholars to study hard-to-reach areas of the landmark. It builds on Microsoft\u2019s previous efforts to digitize sites like St. Peter\u2019s Basilica and is part of its broader Culture A.I. initiative. A digital archive of the cathedral will be donated to the French state and eventually shown at the forthcoming Mus\u00e9e de Notre Dame de Paris.<\/p>\n

Hauser & Wirth doesn\u2019t have a Berlin gallery, but it\u2019s popping up there with Soci\u00e9t\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Highlights include works by Louise Bourgeois, Rashid Johnson, and Phyllida Barlow, alongside pieces by Petra Cortright, Lu Yang, and Darren Bader.
