- The Google DeepDream make up tutorial nobody asked for. Yuck. [Jezebel]
- This guide of auction terms is so useful I can’t believe it’s not been done on the blogs before. (We’ve never seen it.) Lots of terms I didn’t know here, including “white glove sale”, a term that indicates every lot in the auction was sold. [Hyperallergic]
- Over Twitter, Alain Servais goes through recent auction sale prices on the blue-chip contemporary secondary market. He finds that many works are selling well below their retail. There’s clearly a disconnect between the overall health of the secondary market, which appears to be cooling, and the evening contemporary sales where lots break records. I spoke to an artist yesterday who has been making a living off his work for 15 years, and talked about the market being depressed, as if it was a thing everyone knows. Unless your income is affected, I don’t think there’s any way to know, based on what the press covers. [@aservais1]
- Artists think Europe needs to step up its efforts to help refugees. [The Art Newspaper]

- MacArthur genius grants were given to artists Latoya Ruby Frazier and Nicole Eisenman. MacArthur fellows receive $625,000 in unrestricted funds. [MacArthur Foundation]
- Yesterday, Roberta Smith interviewed Nicole Eisenman on the grant. Eisenman revealed that she’d told about 18-20 of her closest friends and family before the award was announced and said she might get an assistant. [The New York Times]
