"In 2013, Epstein specifically requested that Koons attend a September 4 dinner party at his Upper East Side residence, an invitation Koons and his wife accepted via email,"
"Walk through the retrospective, and you'll see Wilson, like Wright before him, wrestling with the psychic toll of racial violence on Black families in his paintings and lithographs,"
"But the conversations accompanying such remarkable works of art, as with artist talks everywhere, must also perform that generative lab"
A new batch of Epstein files reveals connections between Jeffrey Epstein and figures in the art world, including Jeff Koons, Woody Allen, and MIT professor Neil Gershenfeld. Jeff Koons attended a September 4, 2013 dinner at Epstein's Upper East Side residence, and emails show Epstein attempted to visit Koons's studio that year. The documents implicate dozens of other art-world and public figures and underscore the need for accountability and justice for Epstein's victims. The commercial art sphere's reliance on wealthy benefactors produces inequality and invites scrutiny. Painter John Wilson's protest works respond to racial violence and are on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Conversations about archival practice must move beyond terminology and perform generative labor.
