No one knows everything that's happening all the time and everywhere in art, but London-based the Art Newspaper comes close. The print edition covers everything from auction action and thefts to art-fair squabbles, war losses, new shows and new buildings. Online, the publication is a trove of great stuff, from plans by a Danish museum to buy 12 caricatures of Muhammad that sparked global riots to an exit interview with Philippe de Montebello, the patrician director of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art who is retiring this year. Recent stories have covered such fascinating topics as who really owns artist Damien Hirst's diamond-encrusted skull. And whatever happened to Gauguin's teeth? (Hint: Four of them were recently found at the bottom of a well on the Marquesan island of Hiva Oa.)
