  • Bad news: the Mayor of Boston, Thomas Menino (right), is sharply raising the fee many non-profits, including museums, must pay to the city in lieu of taxes. [Real Clear Arts]
  • A painter’s resource: 21 Great Painter’s Posts from 2011. [The Huffington Post] [Via: Martin Bromirski]

  • Ai Weiwei’s Sunflower Seeds open at Mary Boone this Saturday. [Hyperallergic]

Also, did not know he was a fan of Captain Beefheart. [ArtINFO]
