Jeff Koons is selling around $100 million worth of art from his personal collection at Christie's New York this November, according to the New York Times, in a consignment that leads MutualArt's roundup of the week's art news. The nine-work group, titled "Heroes and Lovers," draws heavily on a buying spree from the late 2000s and includes Dutch Golden Age painting alongside modern masters. The standout is Picasso's 1969 grayscale Le Baiser, depicting a passionate kiss and estimated at $40 million — Koons bought it at Sotheby's in 2008 for $17.4 million. Also included are Manet's 1878–79 Femme au tub, a sixteenth-century Cornelis van Haarlem painting of a man wrestling a bull, and a late-Gothic Tilman Riemenschneider carving of St. Catherine, two of which Koons previously loaned to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In France, thieves pulled off what the digest calls another shocking art heist, stealing a 330-pound bronze book cover designed by Salvador Dalí. The volume, "Livre de l'Apocalypse," was a collaboration between fourteen artists and writers and ranks among the heaviest and most expensive books ever made — an object whose sheer weight makes the theft as baffling as it is brazen. The week's institutional news spans continents. BTS leader RM's curatorial debut at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, a show of Korean art drawn from his own collection, has already seen 50,000 tickets reserved, suggesting a genuine blockbuster. Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum and the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid announced a research partnership that will include a fellowship program and an exhibition planned for 2029, aimed at foregrounding women's roles in art and history. And the Zaha Hadid Foundation has converted the late architect's former London headquarters into a public arts space, opening 29 October. Philanthropy rounds out the digest: the Phoenix Art Museum in Arizona received a $5 million donation from Sukumar Nagendran to expand its Sri Lankan and South Asian art galleries. Taken together, the week's headlines point to a market and museum sector in active motion.
