...loss, it thought, of one of its most talented, and reclusive, pianists. Obituaries reported that the musician retreated from concert recitals after being diagnosed with cancer in the early 1970s but, over the next 30 years, Hatto recorded more than 100 CDs of virtuoso performances in a private studio near her home in Royston, England. The recordings, published by her husband William Barrington-Coupe's small Concert Artist label, wowed critics, one of whom called Hatto in 2005 the "greatest living pianist that almost no one has ever heard...
...retrospective this week devoted to Jeff Wall, a Canadian artist who started making staged pictures around the same time as Sherman. (The Wall show continues at MOMA through May 14, then travels to Chicago and San Francisco.) In 1977, when he was 31 and teaching art history and studio practice in his hometown of Vancouver, Wall took his family on a trip to Europe, where he spent a lot of time looking at the old masters in the Prado.

...about his debt to filmmaking, his desire to achieve the beguilements of cinema. (One day someone will have to attempt a history of cinema-envy in the arts.)

After several tumultuous years of creative tensions, personal differences, and record label difficulties—not to mention a grand parting of ways—The Ataris have finally re-emerged with “Welcome the Night,” their sixth studio release. However, this phoenix lacks the fire to make it the glorious rebirth the pop-punk-cum-alternative band had planned for its first album since 2003. Despite a strong effort by the recently resuscitated group (lead singer Kristopher Roe is the only original member remaining), you may be left wondering what’s become...
