From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Anyone curious to view the inside of the massive Bankside power station as it was before the bulldozers moved in to transform it into the Tate's new Gallery of Modern Art, should visit Browse & Darby in Cork Street. Artist Anthony Eyton, commissioned to capture the vast edifice in pastel, has produced an extraordinary series of works which convey the spirit of the place without obscuring it in superfluous detail. This is all the more surprising as Eyton is traditionally perceived as the inheritor of Coldstream's obsession with minutiae.
Undoubtedly, if the Tate's new acquisitions are anything to go by, among the works to be hung at the completed Bankside Gallery will be the paintings of Fiona Rae, painterly Wunderkind of the Hirst generation. Rae's latest efforts, which go on view at Waddington's next Wednesday reveal that the artist, still only 32, has come a long way since her first controversial outing in the 1990 British Art Show. These new, panoramic canvases, with their Delaunay-esque underpinning, re-state Rae's position as a major force of contemporary British painting.
