In advance of its February 19 conversation with Dia’s Yasmil Raymond (formerly of the Walker) on the evolving role of the curator, Latitudes is seeking questions via Twitter. Use the hashtag #opencurating to be part of the Barcelona-based event.

Contrary to reports last week, Courbet’s The Origin of the World “has not lost its head,” say Musée d’Orsay officials. The painting—featuring a closeup of a woman’s crotch—“was indeed that of ‘a nude woman, without feet and without a head.”

A pastor in Florida is being held on $100,000 bail for allegedly trying to sell fake Damien Hirst paintings. Kevin Sutherland was busted in a sting while trying to sell the forgeries, which included “spin” and dot paintings.

Richard Artschwager, whose Brush Blp (among other works) is in the Walker collection, has passed away at age 89. Known for art that defies easy categorization, his paintings and sculptures included elements from Pop and Minimalism.

A hacker on Friday released photos purported to be paintings by George W. Bush—and critic Jerry Saltz loves them. “They are ‘simple’ and ‘awkward,’” he writes in response to a Gawker review, “but in wonderful, unself-conscious, intense ways.”

Three summer shows dedicated to James Turrell—whose art includes the Walker’s Sky Pesher—started out as an idea for a touring exhibition, but the scale of his built light environments suggested different venues (LACMA, MCA Houston, and the Guggenheim) instead.

His ousting at MOCA and Mike Kelley’s death have opened up a new world for Paul Schimmel, chair of Kelley’s foundation: Artists’ foundations, he writes, will become “among the most important not-for-profit institutions to directly support the arts.”

“Cindy Sherman is totally, completely punk rock.” Lori Barbero has some credibility in making that assessment. As drummer of the late, great Minneapolis band Babes in Toyland, she knows the artist well: Sherman’s photographs are on the covers of two Babes albums; her imagery was featured on stage banners; and the artist had a cameo–as doppelganger of lead singer Kat Bjelland–in a 1991 music video.
