The year 2014 in art involves various significant events. ==Events== * January 22 – The value of Canada's leading contemporary art award, the Sobey Art Award, is increased to a total of $100,000.〔("Sobey Art Award increases total prize value to $100,000 with 2014 Call for Nominations", 22 January 2014 ). Accessed 26 March 2014〕 * February 7 – The British National Gallery in London announces its first ever purchase of a major American painting, George Bellows' ''Men of the Docks'' (1912). * February 12 – The discovery of two new portraits, presumed to depict William Shakespeare, the Wörlitz portrait and the Boaden portrait, is announced by German scholar Hildegard Hammerschmidt-Hummel. * February 16 – Dominican-born Miami-based artist Maximo Caminero walks into the recently opened Pérez Art Museum Miami, in Miami, Florida and smashes one of twelve vases employed in an instillation by the Chinese dissident artist Ai Wei Wei. Caminero later tells the Miami New Times that he destroyed the vase "for all the local artists in Miami that have never been shown in museums here." Miami's museums and galleries, he says (they), "have spent so many millions now on international artists," without, in his view, giving any attention to local talent. Later Wei Wei told the ''New York Times'' "The argument does not support the act"... "It doesn't sound right. his argument doesn’t make much sense. If he really had a point, he should choose another way, because this will bring him trouble to destroy property that does not belong to him." * April – The organization A Gathering of the Tribes and its founder and longtime executive director Steve Cannon are forced to relocate and its art gallery permanently shut when the occupancy agreement they had with the woman to whom the building had earlier been sold, Lorraine Zhang, ends. Simultaneously, a wall which retained some of an art-piece by David Hammons (which in a prior transaction had been sold to an the art collector Dimitris Daskalopoulos after having been reproduced and the originality of the object transferred) is removed and relocated by the organization and replaced by another minus the previously pedigreed adornment. * April 26 – The artist Judy Chicago, as part of her retrospective at the Brooklyn Museum and in celebration of her 75th birthday, presents a fireworks display in the New York City borough of Brooklyn's Prospect Park. * May - A section of "We the People" by the Vietnamese born Danish artist Danh Vo consisting of pieces of a disassembled replica scale model of the Statue of Liberty in the original sculpture's initial copper sheen is swiped by a thief as the work is laid out in City Hall Park in New York City for instillation and then public exhibition. * May 13 – A painting by Joan Mitchell of a bouquet entitled "Untitled" (1960) sells at auction during the post-war and contemporary art auction at Christies in New York City sells for $11.9 millon U.S, rendering it the most highest price ever paid for a work of art by a woman at an auction, surpassing the $10.9 million paid for Berthe Morisot's "After Lunch" (1881) the previous year. * May 18 - The Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, New York reopens in its new building, a 187 meter long facility designed by the Swiss architecture firm of Herzog and de Meuron.〔http://disegnodaily.com/news/parrish-art-museum-opens〕 * June 17 - Infrared imagery of Pablo Picasso's 1901 painting ''The Blue Room'' reveals another painting beneath the surface.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hidden painting found under Picasso's The Blue Room )〕 * June 27 – The Mauritshuis art museum is set to reopen in The Hague, Netherlands following a major renovation. * July 4 - After having been closed in 2011 for expansion and renovation, the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts reopens with the estimated $145 million additions of an exhibition and conference center designed by Tadao Ando and a reshaping of its existing galleries by Annabelle Selldorf. * August 5 - ''Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red'', an installation of 888,246 ceramic poppies in the moat of the Tower of London (England) by Paul Cummins with Tom Piper, is unveiled to mark the centenary of the outbreak of World War I, being dismantled after November 11 after around 4 million people have visited. * August 9 - The Aspen Art Museum in Aspen, Colorado officially reopens to the public in a new structure designed by architect Shigeru Ban.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mountain Majesty : Architectural Digest )〕 * September 14 - A Statue of Amy Winehouse, created by Scott Eaton was unveiled at Stables Market, Camden Town in London to mark the 31st birthday of the late singer/songwriter Amy Winehouse, boosted by the Amy Winehouse Foundation.
