Dear All,

Ciao! Milan Design Week is a fantasia of innovation and poetic recalibrations from ice furniture to Loewe’s T pots. Theatre director and visual artist Robert Wilson, film director and screenwriter Paolo Sorrentino, artist and stage designer Es Devlin are some of the visionaries involved in this vast design platform. Yet nerves are rattled by tariffs into the US. American imports of Italian wood and furnishing sector products in 2023 were 2.13 billion euros second only to France and just ahead of Germany.

On April 15 we celebrate World Art Day: the UNESCO initiative aims to promote art as a means of bringing humanity together. The theme DNA- Do No Algorithm hits a chord. Make a beeline for your best loved galleries and art walks. Meanwhile, Art Dubai kicks off on April 16 with a special Biennale devoted to civic art.

A happy weekend from The Wick Family. With Easter around the corner, time to plan the hunts.

All my best,
Katy
