Portrait
Doubted Van Gogh self-portrait is real, say experts
AMSTERDAM — A gloomy self-portrait by Vincent van Gogh was declared genuine on Monday after decades of uncertainty, experts identifying it as the only work painted by the Dutch master while he suffered from psychosis.The "Self Portrait (1889)" — which shows the artist giving a haunted sideways glance against a swirling blue and yellow background — was confirmed as authentic by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.Questions were first raised about whether the painting — owned by the National Gallery in Oslo, Norway — was genuine as far back as 1970 but the Norwegian museum finally decided to end the doubts only in 2014, sending it to Dutch experts.Using X-ray analysis of the canvas, studies of the brushwork and references to letters to his brother Theo, experts established...

Virgil Abloh
Abloh re-finds his dancing feet as Paris fashion parties
PARIS — Virgil Abloh made headlines last week by predicting the end of streetwear, the trend he has ridden to the top of the fashion tree.His Off-White Paris men's fashion week show Wednesday lived up to his prophecy — the least street that the American designer has produced for his ultra-hip label whose clothes are snapped up by rappers and copied by kids.The hyperactive architect-artist, who also designs Louis Vuitton's menswear, turned out perhaps his most sombre and beautifully tailored collection, led off with decidedly adult chocolate-brown and gun-metal gray double breasted suits.The style wunderkind — who was forced to curb his manic globe-trotting schedule in September for health reasons — marked his return to the fashion circuit with a comparatively muted and...
