• A Vincent van Gogh still life, "Poppy Flowers and Vase with Flowers,” was stolen on Saturday from the Mahmoud Khalil Museum in Cairo, Egypt. It has been reported that only seven of the museum’s 43 security cameras were working at the time, and five people have been arrested for “negligence” concerning the theft. The painting is valued at $50 million, and is still at large.

It will house the majority of his vast collection of contemporary art. The decision would seem to end years of public debate over where and how Broad's art should ultimately be exhibited.

Part I of the commission has been progressing for the past seven weeks, as Clark has been instructing both trained and untrained dancers during regular museum hours. Part II will commence at the end of the company’s residency next summer with a “site-specific dance event” incorporating film, light, and sound. Part of the Tate Live series.
