Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and Kunstmuseum Bern have jointly acquired a major sculpture by the Ghanaian artist El Anatsui. The work, entitled
In the World But Don’t Know the World (2009), comes from the Sigg collection founded by Uli Sigg, a former Swiss ambassador to China.
For the Stedelijk Museum, the purchase was funded by the Vereniging Rembrandt (Rembrandt Foundation), the Mondriaan Fund, and the BankGiro Loterij; on the Kunstmuseum Bern side, funding came from the Swiss foundation Stiftung GegenwART, with “special thanks to the Sigg Collection”, both museums stress. “Rising prices on the art market make it increasingly difficult for public art institutions to acquire new works by celebrated artists,” says a joint statement.

The Tate and the British Museum are among institutions worldwide that boast landscape prints by Thomas Gainsborough, the great 18th-century British master. Three of those prints should no longer be attributed to him, according to new research.
Dr Susan Sloman, a Gainsborough scholar, has reattributed three wooded landscapes dating from the 1780s to the hand of Gainsborough’s nephew and sole studio assistant, Gainsborough Dupont.
