THIS OCTOBER IN NEWS OF ART

This October, we talk to Robert Gober about the edgy realism of early-20th-century painter Charles Burchfield, whose show he is curating. We interview photographer William Eggleston about two of his lesser-known
talents—drawing and piano playing. We profile Wang Qingsong, the Chinese artist whose elaborate, staged photographs riff on everything from the McDonald’s logo to last year’s Olympic Games. And in a special report, contributing editor Konstantin Akinsha looks at the growing clash between the Russian state and the world of contemporary art.
