Events[]

  • February 16 - Edgar Degas's 1877 pastel Les Choristes, stolen from the Musée Cantini in Marseille at the end of 2009, is found in the luggage compartment of an intercity bus outside Paris during a search by customs officials.[1]
  • April - The Terrus museum at Elne in the south of France, dedicated to paintings by Étienne Terrus, discovers that half its collection, 82 works, is counterfeit.[2]
  • April 21 - The Institute for Contemporary Art at VCU in Richmond, Virginia designed by Steven Holl opens to the public.[3][4]
  • May - The Collection of Peggy Rockefeller and David Rockefeller is auctioned off in three sales at Christie's, Rockefeller Center, New York City. On the evening of May 8 the first night of the sale Young Girl with a Flower Basket (oil on canvas, 1905) by Pablo Picasso is sold for $US115 million.[5] along with world record prices for works by Claude Monet (Nymphéas en fleur 1914-1917 $84.7 million) and Henri Matisse (Odalisque couchée aux magnolias 1923 $80.7 million), all contributing to a new world record for a single collection at auction of $832.6 million, the record previously having been held by the $484 million total achieved for the art collection of Pierre Berge and Yves Saint Laurent.[6][7]
  • May 25 - Second attack on Ilya Repin's painting Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan in the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, by an inebriated visitor.
  • June 15 - Second major fire at Glasgow School of Art.[8]
  • July - A 1967 painting, "Untitled" by Robert Motherwell missing for more than forty years is returned after apparently having been stolen by a ring of art thieves.[9]
  • August 13 - Despite warning signs, a man in his sixties is hospitalized after falling into a cavity created in a gallery floor at the Serralves Museum in Porto, Portugal, for the 1992 Anish Kapoor work "Descent into Limbo" (titled after the 1492 painting by Andrea Mantegna).[10]
  • October 5 - A version of Banksy's artwork Balloon Girl is auctioned at Sotheby's in London for £1,042,000. Moments after the closing bid, the artwork partially shreds itself by means of a paper shredder hidden in the frame[11] to become Love Is in the Bin.
  • November 14 - At a sale of the art collection of Barney A. Ebsworth at Christie's New York, Edward Hopper's Chop Suey (1929) sells for US$92m and Willem de Kooning's Woman as Landscape (1955) for US$68.9m.[12]
  • November 15 - A canvas by David Hockney, Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) (1972) sells at Christies in New York City for $90.3 million US dollars with fees, thus shattering the previous record for the most expensive work of art by a living artist ever sold at auction. The record price was previously held by a "Balloon Dog (orange)" sculpture by Jeff Koons for $58.4 million also at Christies in New York City in 2013.[13][14]
  • December 1 - The Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume museum in Paris is torched in politically related mob violence as the Tuileries Gardens are stormed by protestors.[15]
  • December 7 - In the United States of America, the National Rifle Association (NRA), the defendant in a lawsuit brought by artist Anish Kapoor, settles with the plaintiff in the case. Therein the gun lobby group had without the sculptor's consent used a filmed image of his work in an approximately one minute long promotional video called "The Violence of Lies". Kapoor says of the victory which is inclusive of having the image of his work removed from the NRA's film that "They have now complied with our demand to remove the unauthorized image of my sculpture Cloud Gate from their abhorrent video, which seeks to promote fear, hostility, and division in American society.”[16][17]
