A 1969 work by Willem de Kooning has been installed in the Fenix museum in his home town of Rotterdam ahead of its grand opening on May 16.

De Kooning was 22 when he stowed away on a ship in the Dutch port heading to the United States where he made his name as an artist.

The painting, Man in Wainscott, is the final work installed in the building which describes itself as the world's first art museum about migration.

Its director Anne Kremers said: "De Kooning’s migration story is as colorful as his work. He began life in poverty in North Rotterdam, boarded a ship nearly a hundred years ago as a stowaway without a valid ticket, and ended up as a celebrated artist in New York. It’s almost symbolic that this painting from his golden years will now be permanently displayed in a former harbor warehouse in the city he once left behind."

Two of the UK's biggest museums are celebrating a double donation after the family of philanthropist Jacob Rothschild gave them both a major work in his memory.

Rothschild, who died last February, was Chair of Trustees at London's National Gallery for more than a decade and it has received Guercino's 1651 painting of King David.

The family has also given a 1790 John Deare marble relief, Edward and Eleanor, to the capital's Victoria and Albert Museum.

They were given as part of the UK's Acceptance in Lieu scheme which allows major cultural works to be left to the nation to meet inheritance tax bills.

3 - Rachel Uffner has brought in her former sales assistant Lucy Liu as a partner in her New York gallery.
