Piassa was torn down as part of a “road-widening project”... A tailor in a neighbouring district to Piassa said they were given one hour to clear their shop, with no explanation. They later discovered it is due to be replaced by a cycle path. theguardian.com/global-develop…

This pairing of visions of Solomon & the Queen of Sheba is brilliant Art Gallery NSW: Edward Poynter (1890) & Ethiopian artist Belachew Yimer (1941). The Art Gallery #repatriated 14 paintings by Yimer to Ethiopia in 1972 because none of his works remained. Eyob Derillo alula pankhurst
