ARTINFO - The United Kingdom is the featured country at this year’s Korea International Art Fair, (KIAF) and perhaps that’s why works by Damien Hirst, who surely is Britain’s most famous contemporary artist in Asia, seemed to be everywhere. Even at the booth of the venerable PYO Gallery — whose president, Mi Sun Pyo, is head of the Galleries Association of Korea — a Hirst "Spin" painting has taken pride of place, seeming a little off-key beside the cool minimalism of the paintings by Lee Ufan, which provide the booth’s still center.

As a girl who's had a very specific tattoo designed by an actual artist only to get cold feet not once but twice at New York Adorned (sorry, Damien!), I practically wept with glee when the fine folks at Chanel sent over their new Temporary Skin Art collection, straight off their couture runway.

ARTINFO - Though artist Faith Ringgold is perhaps best known for delighting American schoolchildren with her lusciously illustrated 1991 masterwork of a children’s book "Tar Beach," her first public commission was actually designed for another audience: female prisoners eating in the cafeteria of the Rikers Island prison in New York City. Now that incarcerated work, the 1971 "For the Women’s House," is being released after a tumultuous stretch for a show at the Neuberger Museum of Art, in Purchase, New York.

It's September, folks. Time to bring on the apples -- and the apple celebrations. First up is the Art & Apples Festival, a three-day affair that typically draws about 125,000 serious art lovers and casual revelers.

ARTINFO - "Tonight, I’m announcing that the American combat mission in Iraq has ended," President Obama declared last week. Seven years after the United States-led invasion of the country, the war is officially over. In the U.K., however, the debate over Britain's involvement in the conflict is as fractious as ever: the government’s "Iraq Inquiry" has been severely criticized, and former Prime Minister Tony Blair’s newly published autobiography, "A Journey," has triggered angry protests.

Last year, as the down-on-their-luck fashion and retail industries hopelessly kicked a rock down Fifth Avenue in New York City, Anna Wintour had a light bulb moment. The editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine came up with an idea intended to recapture the shopping enthusiasm the recession stole. She called it Fashion's Night Out (FNO) and got more than 700 stores to participate in a night of designer ...

ARTINFO - A Kennedy Center Honor, which the Kennedy Center’s website likens to a knighthood in Britain, is the ultimate reward for a person’s “lifetime contribution to American culture.” This year those contributions included outlaw country music, "Yesterday," uplifting car giveaways, and scintillatingly vibrant choreography.

ARTINFO - As a reminder that the looting of Iraq's heritage has hardly been restricted to the militant thieves who pillaged the Iraqi National Museum after the 2003 American invasion, the United States has repatriated a group of objects, some of which were apparently taken as war booty, and others that reflect the region's history of artifact smuggling. This step, by all accounts, is only a small one in what will have to be a concerted international effort to undo the work of all kinds of opportunistic raiders.

ARTINFO - As Sotheby's and Christie's stake out their blue-chip consignment territory in advance of the fall market season, second-string boutique Phillips de Pury seems to be working a burgeoning, if unglamorous, niche: helping disgraced financiers sell off their ill-gotten art. After bringing in more than $24 million this spring by auctioning the collection of debt-ridden Internet entrepreneur Hasley Minor, Phillips is now angling for the corporate art collection of the defunct law firm of Marc Dreier, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for federal fraud after having attempted to sell $700 million bonus promissory notes to investors. According to the Wall Street Journal, a bankruptcy official has filed for court approval for a November 21 Phillips auction of the modern and contemporary works Dreier amassed before his 2008 arrest. The 81-piece collection includes works by Damien Hirst, Henri Matisse, Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, and Willem de Kooning, as well as photographs of the Dreier family and of Audrey Hepburn playing that other fiscally inept individual Holly Golightly in "Breakfast at Tiffany’s."
