Bill and Melinda Gates are in the process of divorcing, but what will happen to their art collection?. A Seattle court has been told that they have worked out a plan to split their assets. The plan is not public. The Microsoft founder has a net worth of $120 billion, as published by Forbes. Gates has been actively buying high-value American Impressionism and early Twentieth Century art. including a Winslow Homer purchased for a record-breaking $36 million in 1998, and a George Bellows bought for $27.5 million. Other works of art include important pieces by Childe Hassam.

NEW YORK, NY
.- American artist Carol Bove (born 1971) has created four sculptures for The Met Fifth Avenue s facade niches. The Facade Commission: Carol Bove, The séances aren t helping is the second commission to be featured on the Museum s facade and will be on view through fall 2021. Made of sandblasted, contorted stainless-steel tubes and five-foot-wide reflective aluminum disks, the sculptures appear astoundingly lithe and supple, almost mercurial, despite their weight and heft-an effect Bove achieves by pushing her materials to their physical limits using incredible force. Projecting outward from the niches, the works confound perception.

Culture leaders have vented their frustration at the UK government’s decision to reopen museums across England on 17 May (at the earliest), questioning why non-essential retail, including commercial galleries, and other public buildings such as libraries can open five weeks earlier on 12 April.
The four-step plan for lifting Covid-19 restrictions was announced earlier this week by Prime Minister Boris Johnson in the House of Commons. The official guidance states that “indoor entertainment, such as museums, cinemas and children’s play areas” can open from 17 May at the earliest, in “step three” of the plan.
