INSIDE THE CENTENARY ISSUE

FEATURES | Jonathan Griffin on the twists and turns of Ruth Asawa's career; Kathryn Murphy is fascinated by Christ's aerodynamics in depictions of the Ascension; Susan Moore pays a visit to the Duke of Richmond to discuss Goodwood's glorious new art foundation; Sarah Howgate explains how Jenny Saville turns paint into flesh; Helen Stoilas on how the Met's revamped Rockefeller wing sheds new light on art from the ancient Americas, Africa and Oceania; and Charles Darwent on Amédée Ozenfant, the purest of the Purists

APOLLO AT 100 | Edward Behrens rings in Apollo's centenary; Sophie Barling on the rise and fall of Robert Adam's Adelphi, the magazine's first home; Thomas Marks shares his tally of Apollo's pop-culture cameos; and Stephen Patience is tickled by some of the more eccentric adverts to have appeared in Apollo over the decades

REVIEWS | Craig Burnett takes in the landscapes of Hiroshige; Morgan Falconer on how the reopened Yale Center for British Art reframes Paul Mellon's collection; Rachel Cohen on Frida Kahlo's storied friendship with the bookbinder Mary Reynolds; Imogen Tedbury on civic virtues and vices in Renaissance Siena; Emily Cox on how Vanessa Bell remade her world through paint; and Tim Smith-Laing on whether art can survive the AI juggernaut

MARKET | Jane Morris on why the UAE's lively art scene is here to stay; Emma Crichton-Miller on the more-than-occasional appeal of commemorative ceramics; and Michael Delgado looks ahead to the third edition of Treasure House Fair

PLUS | Hettie Judah on the artists who have bared it all, imperfectly; Francesca Wade on why Gertrude Stein's Paris home was the first museum of modern art; Will Wiles asks whether the QR code has had its day; Bee Wilson explains why some portraits of Elizabeth I show the queen clutching a sieve; and Christina Makris visits a winery near Pamplona that's in bullish mode
