Philadelphia might style itself The City of Brotherly Love but there is precious little of it on display at its art museum.

Sasha Suda, the sacked director and CEO of the Philadelphia Art Museum, used her first interview since being forced out in October to add fuel to the fire criticizing her predecessor, her successor and members of the board.

Speaking to the city's Philadelphia Magazine, she said board member Leslie Anne Miller had "seen me as a threat from day one" and stymied her plans while stopping her meeting other board members.

Suda told the magazine she brought in her eventual successor, Daniel Weiss, to advise her but he became "distant" and started "pulling away" from her.

The lengthy write-up also takes aim at the man she replaced - Timothy Rub - saying his more than a decade-long time in charge ended on a "sour note" and highlights the board signed off his generous farewell package which included paying for a John Deere tractor for him to use on his farm.

A court is still deciding how this ends - Suda wants to take the museum to court but they want to settle it in private. Either way don't expect her to ride off into the sunset on a new tractor.

Works by Francis Bacon and Salvador Dali will rub shoulders with a prototype of Steven Spielberg's E.T. and the monster from the Alien movies for the grand re-opening of the New Museum in Manhattan.

The museum opens its doors on March 21 after a three-year $82 million redevelopment of its building on The Bowery in New York with a single show called New Humans: Memories of the Future.

Its artistic director Massimiliano Gioni described the show, which will also include work by Precious Okoyomon and Pierre Huyghe, to The New York Times as "a clearinghouse for visions of the future".

It will also feature flying machines, designed by Anicka Yi, that will buzz around the fourth-floor gallery similar to the work she staged in London's Tate Modern in 2021.

Admission to the museum will be free on the opening weekend which comes just weeks before the planned retirement of its director Lisa Phillips after 27 years in charge.

Lego brick versions of Monet's Water Lilies and Hokusai's Great Wave are among the works going on show in Chinese artist Ai Weiwei's first exhibition in India.

The show, which opens on Thursday at New Delhi's Nature Morte gallery, also includes new Lego works inspired by Hindu religious paintings as well as modern Indian painters V.S. Gaitonde and S.H. Raza.

His Lego Water Lillies uses 650,000 bricks in 22 different colors to recreate the famous work and was previously on show at London's Design Museum in 2023.

Nature Morte's co-director Aparajita Jain told The Art Newspaper all the works were for sale with several having already sold.

Works by Alberto Giacometti, Louise Bourgeois and Alexander Calder will go on show in a new sculpture garden at Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum thanks to a $70 million donation.

The money from the Don Quixote Foundation, which has previously given the museum millions of dollars to support shows, will fund the building of three pavilions designed by architect Norman Foster's firm with the garden itself designed by Belgian landscape architect Piet Blanckaert.

Museum director Taco Dibbits said the "historic" project "will give modern sculpture the visibility it deserves."

Entry to the garden will be free and it is expected to open this Autumn.

1 - American artist Titus Kaphar will exhibit new paintings and hard-carved wood sculptures in his first-ever Paris show later this month. The exhibition, at the Gagosian gallery in Rue de Ponthieu, opens on January 29.

2 - Sculptor Belu-Simion Fainaru has been chosen to represent Israel at this year's Venice Biennale. He told ARTnews he hoped his show would promote "dialogue" but campaigners from the Art Not Genocide Alliance have already called for him to be excluded and threatened to boycott the event. It would be the first time Israel has been represented since artist Ruth Patir shuttered its pavilion on the opening day in 2024.

3 - A life-size George Stubbs portrait of a horse painted for a British prime minister is going on show at London's National Gallery. The painting of the Marquess of Rockingham's horse Scrub is part of a major show dedicated to Stubbs, famous for his images of animals, that opens in March.
