Art Movements is a weekly collection of news, developments, and stirrings in the art world.

Philadelphia’s iconic “East Coast Humpbacks” mural (1993) at 2400 Market Street is being demolished to make way for Aramark’s new headquarters. The work is one of the last remaining 100 Whaling Wall murals painted by artist Robert Wyland between 1981 and 2008.

US District judge Frederic Block filed an order granting the artists of the former 5Pointz warehouse the right to sue the building’s owner, Jerry Wolkoff, under the 1990 Visual Artist Rights Act (VAGA).

Over 200 people signed a petition calling on the jury of the Foam Paul Huf Award to “reconsider” the recipient of its 2017 photography prize. Romain Mader received the award for Ekaterina, a narrative series in which Mader searches for a bride in a fictional town. According to the petition’s author, Sviatlana Kashuba, “the project creates an image of homogeneous post-soviet space […] with a hideous and misogynistic stereotype of Ukrainian women and then presenting the whole region as one by adding images of “whatever looks soviet” to his eyes.”
