I'm glad I checked in with Greg Cook. He's got a series of useful nuggets, including the impending retirement of Williams College Museum of Art curator Deborah Rothschild, and the appointment of Edward Saywell as director of the Museum of Fine Arts’ west wing, which, as Cook points out, "will give him a leading role in the institution’s contemporary art programming." (Saywell had served as an assistant curator of prints and drawings at the MFA.)

Tyler Green is all over the St. Louis Art Museum's wheeling-and-dealing, a process we're familiar with in Boston.

Ken Johnson's exit has been noticed, in Seattle, these parts, and you'll even find a genuine picture of the art critic's head here.

And here's a taste of the reformed Van Halen, courtesy of YouTube.

Like many people my age I've wanted this reunion to happen for a long time. But Diamond Dave sang "Jump" and didn't jump. It's enough to make a fellow get an AARP card. Though it could be worse, it could be a Sex Pistols reunion...

So far at least, the St. Louis Art Museum has been considerably more forthcoming about and available to discuss its planned deaccessioning than, say, Harvard was (or has been) about it's past sales. JPEGs today, I think, and then we'll really find out....
