Next month, our focus is art and ecology. We talk to artists who are trying to “heal the world” through planting, cleaning landfills, and even recycling their own urine. At the same time, we look at the ways that artists are trying to reduce the environmental impact of their work.
Also, we profile El Anatsui, the Ghanaian-born artist who has earned international acclaim for transforming bits of scrap metal and other found objects into stunning fields of texture and color. And we catch up with Diana Widmaier Picasso, who for the last five years has traveled the globe to research every sculpture produced by her grandfather Pablo Picasso for the first comprehensive publication on the subject.
