A museum dedicated to works from art dealer Ileana Sonnabend's legendary collection opened this past weekend in the Renaissance city of Mantua, Italy, thanks to a partnership with the Sonnabend Foundation. The nearly 100 artworks on display, valued at $270 million, include masterpieces by Pop artists, Arte Povera sculptors, and contemporary artists. With her second husband Michael Sonnabend, Ileana Sonnabend (1914-2007) opened Sonnabend Gallery in 1962 in Paris.

SALEM - The final exhibition to fill the main gallery at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art this year is a delightfully eclectic collection of postwar African American art that is every bit as interesting as the story of how it came together is inspiring.
