| | FORBES FAVORITES 2020: THE YEAR'S BEST ARTS STORIES
William Shakespeare famously wrote King Lear during the bubonic plague, but what art and culture will we remember from the COVID-19 pandemic? Yes, binge-watching Tiger King made the first few months a little more tolerable—much as having The Crown and The Queen’s Gambit helped transport audiences to a more glamorous era this fall. And a workplace scandal involving Ellen DeGeneres and the mass humiliation of conservative commentator Ben Shapiro temporarily distracted us. But will any of those moments resonate in the decades ahead? More likely, some of the art inspired by the death of George Floyd will have a lasting impact. And who knows how many more metal monoliths will be left for us by artists—or aliens? Here are some of the best and most-read arts stories of 2020.

It has also financed the restoration of 70 works spanning the 16th to the 20th centuries. Full npr piece...
