For John Singer Sargent enthusiasts, Gilded Age buffs, and fashion historians alike, the story of Madame X’s notorious debut at the Paris Salon of 1884 is a tale as old as time. When the prodigious 28-year-old painter immortalized the idiosyncratic beauty of Madame Pierre Gautreau, a fellow American in Paris, he rendered her precisely—from her auburn chignon and prominent nose to her lavender-tinged complexion and figure-hugging black dress, whose jeweled strap had slid off her right shoulder.

Encircled by three decades’ worth of his artworks in the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum’s iconic rotunda, Rashid Johnson feels as if he’s at a family reunion. “I always think of art as objects that you birthed as an artist,” he tells Vogue ahead of “Rashid Johnson: A Poem for Deep Thinkers” (through January 18, 2026), his first solo presentation at the New York institution. With more than 90 works, the mid-career traveling survey is also his largest exhibition to date.

The architect Lina Ghotmeh has been chosen to design Qatar’s permanent pavilion at the Venice Biennale. The announcement was made last week by Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the chairperson of Qatar Museums. Once completed, the Qatar pavilion, located in the heart of the Giardini della Biennale, will be only the third pavilion added to the historic Giardini in more than 50 years. Ghotmeh has described her practice as an “archaeology of the future”.

"Radical courage" indeed. I cannot imagine the extent of the pressure @Simone_Biles is under, but I empathize so deeply. She is redefining the perception of a G.O.A.T. and in my eyes, she is proving exactly why she is one. #YouGoGirl https://t.co/p70QB3VWLh via @NewYorker
