1) Trump Tower Fire Victim Identified as Art Dealer and Collector

Art dealer Todd Brassner died after a fire enveloped his apartment on the 50th floor of New York’s Trump Tower on Saturday. Brassner was a friend of Andy Warhol, and had his portrait painted by the late artist in 1975. The 67-year-old had reportedly been trying to sell the apartment since 2016, but had had little luck in offloading a property associated with the Trump name. In a 2016 bankruptcy filing, the dealer and collector said he intended to sell some pieces from his vast collection, which included several works by Roy Lichtenstein, a graphite portrait of William Burroughs by Jack Kerouac, and the hand-bound screenplay for the original Blade Runner movie. Brassner was the only person to die in the blaze, though a few firefighters were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

2) Get Your Own Fearless Girl Statue

Artist Kristen Visbal, the artist behind Fearless Girl, is selling reproductions of her most infamous artwork. Each bronze miniature of the girl, standing in her defiant pose, will be sold for a price tag of $6,500 USD and will be available in a limited run of 1,000 units. According to Visbal, 20 percent of the profits from each sale will go to a charity that helps to empower women and young girls. While the artist herself says she hopes each bronze reproduction will serve as a symbol of empowerment and collaboration between the sexes, many have criticized the original artwork as a symbol of empty, corporate feminism. Visbal assured interviewers at Hyperallergic that the reproductions are in no way associated with the company that commissioned the original statue.
