Helen Frankenthaler: Painting Without Rules

Organized by the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi, Florence, and the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation, New York, in collaboration with the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
Curator: Douglas Dreishpoon, Director of the Helen Frankenthaler Catalogue Raisonné
Dates: April 11 to September 28, 2025
Sponsor: BBVA Foundation

Helen Frankenthaler: Painting Without Rules celebrates the legacy of a pioneering artist who never stopped exploring new ways to make abstract art.

Comprising thirty of Frankenthaler’s poetic abstractions created between 1953 and 2002, the exhibition also features select paintings and sculptures by some of her contemporaries—Anthony Caro, Morris Louis, Robert Motherwell, Kenneth Noland, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and David Smith, highlighting the synergies between these artists.

Frankenthaler played a pivotal role in the transition from Abstract Expressionism to Color Field painting and is best known for her expanded use of the soak-stain technique.

The artist also adhered to a shared belief when it came to making art: No rules! Whether you were a painter or a sculptor (or both), the mantra was the same: no rules meant never being complacent about how your art got made, the materials used, or what it might look like.

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao presents Helen Frankenthaler: Painting Without Rules, the largest exhibition ever held in Spain dedicated to this great artist pioneer of abstraction. The show, sponsored by the BBVA Foundation, Strategic Trustee of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao from 1997, and organized by the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi and the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation in collaboration with the Museum, celebrates Helen Frankenthaler’s revolutionary art through a chronological journey that follows her prolific career over six decades.

Anitta Releases Intimate Single Larissa from Netflix Doc

GRAMMY® Award-nominated international superstar Anitta shares her intimate new single entitled “Larissa” from her recently released Netflix documentary Larissa: The Other Side of Anitta out now via Republic Records/Universal Music Latin Entertainment. The song reflects on the strength needed to reveal one’s most vulnerable self to another person. Listen to “Larissa (From Larissa: The Other Side Of Anitta)” HERE.

“You act like a crazy person / You don’t realize / But it’s so obvious / That you see me, that you look at me,” she sings in Spanish, demonstrating the type of romantic fragility that is relatively new to the discography of the Brazilian singer.

Here, Anitta powerfully narrates details of an uninhibited and fearless relationship between two people who are not afraid to be themselves when they are together. It is a safe place for Larissa (the other side of Anitta) to be.

“My music has always been about strength, right? Mainly feminine strength. But, talking about this track and also the film, I feel like I discovered a new type of strength by allowing myself to be fragile, to fail, and to make mistakes. ‘LARISSA’ wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for this process, in which Larissa became more and more comfortable to be seen,” shares Anitta.

The arrangement is another fresh addition to her catalog. “Larissa” incorporates elements of drum and bass. The British electronic music subgenre, characterized by fast and minimalist beats, is mixed with moments of passionate reggaeton. The lyrics were written by the singer herself, in partnership with Essa Gante (Bad Bunny and Belinda), Daniel Sobrino, and the producer of the track, Caleb Calloway (Rauw Alejandro).

The track was initially released with the documentary Larissa: The Other Side Of Anitta, playing during the final scenes. Two days following the film’s release on March 6, 2025, the artist debuted the song on the Bloco da Anitta electric trio in Rio de Janeiro to an exuberant audience of around 1.1 million people.

Frankie Grande – Rhythm of Love

Today, multi-hyphenate performer, singer, songwriter, actor, and activist Frankie Grande releases his debut single and official music video, “Rhythm of Love” out now via Casablanca Records / Republic Records. Listen HERE. Watch HERE. The new single heralds the arrival of his forthcoming full-length LP due out this Summer 2025.

“Rhythm of Love” is co-written by Frankie Grande, Alex Chapman [Kim Petras, Charli XCX, Troye Sivan], NOVDOR [Troye Sivan, Charli XCX], Neil Ormandy [James Arthur], and Molly Irvine, with production by Prince Fox, and NOVDOR. Despite its dark inspirations, the joy radiating through “Rhythm of Love” sweeps you away in, well, its rhythm, glittering with hope and optimism. Pride festivities will never be the same once this banger drops.

The official music video, directed by Austin Nunes [Troye Sivan], filmed at the iconic nightclub “The Box” in New York City, plunges viewers into a wild night led by Frankie complete with jaw-dropping choreography, stunning fashion, and nonstop energy on the dancefloor. The video embodies and evokes the spirit of the immediately irresistible chorus, “It’s your rhythm of love that’s lifting me up deep into the night.”

Last year, Republic Records President and Chief Creative Officer Wendy Goldstein heard just a handful of Frankie’s songs. Blown away, she immediately signed him on the spot. He says, “I just remember playing the songs for Wendy in the studio and being like, what is happening? I didn’t know I had it in me. I didn’t know it was possible.”

Gwen Stefani – Still Gonna Love You

Gwen Stefani shares the deluxe edition of her celebrated fifth studio album: Bouquet Deluxe. Available now via Interscope Records, the expanded release features a new song “Still Gonna Love You,” co-written by FINNEAS, as well as acoustic renditions of every track. Listen to Bouquet Deluxe HERE.

“Still Gonna Love You” is an emotionally bare addition to the Bouquet track list, featuring slowly growing instrumentation and a message of resilience: “You can push me away, go ahead and make your mistakes, I won’t judge you / Nothin’ that you can say if you want me to hate you, I’m still gonna love you.”

“This song is about love,” says Stefani about her newly shared song. “A love that can’t be broken, a love that no matter what is always going to be there, and a love that can always bring you back home.”

Stefani recorded Bouquet backed by a full live band. The idea of life’s seasons, and seeds of hope that you plant, runs throughout Bouquet, serving up endlessly quotable lyrics that are full of clever turns. “Bouquet represents a blend of everything that I’ve ever been and who I’ve evolved into. Each one of the songs was picked like individual flowers to create a bouquet of the past, the present, and the seeds of hope for the future,” said Stefani.

Stefani has brought her new songs to a variety of stages and spaces. Lead single “Somebody Else’s” received an official music video and a grand performance on The Voice. She debuted “Swallow My Tears” on The Today Show and performed the title track “Bouquet” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. And a handful of songs new and old made it into her recent Backyard Garden Party series.

A three-time GRAMMY® Award winner, Stefani has achieved global success as a performer, songwriter, and frontwoman of No Doubt, and as a multi-platinum solo artist, among numerous other accomplishments. To date, she’s sold more than 100 million track units worldwide. Her 2015 solo album, This Is What the Truth Feels Like, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Her five-times Platinum solo set Love. Angel. Music. Baby. (with No. 1 hit “Hollaback Girl”) recently received a 20th anniversary deluxe reissue.

Stinaa.J Redefines Orthopedic Footwear with Style

Stockholm-based Stinaa.J is on a mission to change the way we think about orthopedic footwear. With its recent U.S. launch on Bloomingdales.com and Nordstrom.com, the Swedish brand blends cutting-edge biomechanics with Scandinavian style—proving that comfort and luxury aren’t mutually exclusive.

The Science Behind the Style

Founded by Stina Andersson, who personally experienced the toll of unsupportive footwear, Stinaa.J was born from the need to find stylish shoes that didn’t cause lasting body and foot pain. Partnering with orthopedic technician Peter Hedström, the brand developed a proprietary 3D-scanned insole technology backed by data from over 3 million feet. These insoles restore natural foot function, minimize strain, and offer unparalleled cushioning using materials originally designed for the space industry.

The Sneaker to Know: Hugo

While Stinaa.J is best known for its luxe heels, the Hugo sneaker is making waves as a must-have for men who demand both comfort and sophistication. Featuring the brand’s patented 5-Bar System, this sneaker provides superior arch support, a reinforced heel cap for stability, and removable insoles for customizable wear. Available in premium leather and canvas, Hugo delivers orthopedic innovation in a sleek, everyday silhouette. Beyond sneakers, Stinaa.J offers a full range of footwear, including elegant heels, stylish loafers, and versatile boots, all designed with the same commitment to orthopedic technology.

A New Era of Foot Health

More than just footwear, Stinaa.J is pioneering a movement: encouraging consumers to prioritize wellness without sacrificing style. “Our goal is to empower people to feel confident and pain-free,” says Hedström. With its expansion into the U.S., Stinaa.J is proving that luxury and orthopedic support can walk hand in hand.

Jean-Georges Vongerichten + Bellagio

Jean-Georges Vongerichten Debuts New Era for Prime Steakhouse at Bellagio in Las Vegas.

Beloved lakeside destination continues its legacy with fresh design and finest meats

One of the most coveted restaurants in the country makes its grand return as PRIME Steakhouse officially debuts a new era of Fountain-side dining at Bellagio Resort & Casino. The revered culinary gem by Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten unveils a reimagined look that blends PRIME’s time-honored elegance with contemporary sophistication.

“When PRIME opened in 1998 with Bellagio Fountains as its backdrop, it shattered the ceiling of expectations for what a restaurant in Las Vegas could be,” said Chef Vongerichten. “This next phase of PRIME celebrates our history while foraging into the future with an aesthetic and refined flavors that will make you fall in love with the glamour of dining in Las Vegas all over again.”

Elegant Design

PRIME’s new modern-day design welcomes guests into a luxurious living room-style lobby, featuring a Saint Laurent marble door frame, Baccarat-inspired carved glass, 1940s Parisian sconces and a host stand reminiscent of a fine jewelry display. As guests step into the refined cocktail lounge at PRIME’s entrance, the new design unfolds with French blue and caramel accents flowing seamlessly throughout the restaurant complemented by Italian damask fabrics, handmade wall coverings, Venetian chandeliers, Baccarat-inspired carved glass and mirrors and Saint Laurent marble accents.

Soft layers of drapery create intimate and distinct areas within the main dining room, while the private dining room features a sculptural piece depicting the Fountains of Bellagio in architectural form. Each room, from the cocktail lounge to the private dining area reflects an interplay of classic and contemporary motifs, with signature details such as lattice patterns woven into the carpet, creating an ambiance that is both inviting and sophisticated.

Reimagined Menu

PRIME’s refreshed menu is a global collection of the finest meats through a dueling selection of the best cuts from American farms, and steaks from Japan treated with marbling techniques safeguarded for centuries. Guests may complement their steak with homemade sauces such as Soy Rice Wine, Béarnaise and Peppercorn, as well as gourmet sides that include Truffle Mashed Potatoes, Glazed Mushrooms or Brussels Sprouts prepared with prosciutto and pear mustard.

For ocean fare aficionados, a raw bar awaits offering a chef’s selection of shrimp, oysters, fish carpaccio, caviar and sushi that can be ordered a la carte or indulged through a towering Seafood Plateau. Guests also can explore a variety of entrees set to become new city signatures from the Truffle BBQ Short Rib with smoked bacon, Chilean Sea Bass or the Parmesan Crusted Chicken with lemon butter and basil.

Rounding out the exquisite culinary journey, PRIME offers the finest and rarest vintage wines from Bellagio’s award-winning cellar in addition to cocktails crafted from high-end spirits and fresh pressed juices.
