The Headlines
THE ARTISTS SPEAK.   Jayson Musson , who shot to fame as the wise art YouTuber Hennessy Youngman , has his first museum show up at the  Fabric Workshop  in Philadelphia, and is in the  New York Times . “Jokes can be powerful, but it’s not easy to tell a good joke,” he said. Feminist great  Suzanne Lacy  has a survey up at the  Queens Museum  in New York, and is in the  Art Newspaper . “Activism is impacting change,” she said. “I’m not convinced that art does anything profound and unique in and of itself, but that it operates to support and push a general, social, political idea forward.” And  T: The New York Times Style Magazine  spoke with artists who are fighting mass incarceration through their work. “I’m not interested in only telling the story of the innocent,”  Sable Elyse Smith  said. “I am interested in confrontation.”
AUCTION ACTION.  Entertainment giant  Endeavor ‘s  IMG  has  snapped up a majority stake  in the collector-car auction company  Barrett-Jackson  in a deal worth $261 million,  Deadline  reports. The firm’s many other holdings include the  Frieze  art fair and  New York Fashion Week . Meanwhile, the estate of writer  Joan Didion  is  heading to auction  later this year at  Stair Galleries  in Hudson, New York,  Architectural Digest  reports. The material coming to the block is said to include art, furniture, and of course, books. A catalog for the offerings arrives October 31; the sale will be on November 16. 
The Digest
French illustrator  Jean-Jacques Sempé , who provided graphics for the “Little Nicolas” series of books, which have sold north of 15 million copies, died yesterday, at the age of 89.  [The Guardian]

Midtown Manhattan’s  Crown Building , historically  the site of many art galleries , is now home to the priciest hotel in the city,  Aman New York . Corner suites go for $20,000, and some areas are only open to members. (The current initiation fee is $200,000).  [Bloomberg]
Speaking of luxury,  Vanity Fair  has a deep dive on the  Carbone  restaurant empire, whose flagship New York branch opened in 2013 with art curated by dealer  Vito Schnabel . Its owners have seized the zeitgeist “not with  Momofuku Ko ’s  Donald Judd –inspired minimalism or  wd~50 ’s thing-that-looks-like-another-thing neo-surrealism, but with a novel pour of self-aware nostalgia,”  Nate Freeman  writes.  [Vanity Fair]
JOB POSTINGS.  A trio of personnel items, via  ArtDaily :  Giampaolo Bianconi   is joining  the  Art Institute of Chicago  as associate curator of modern and contemporary art, arriving from Munich’s  Museum Brandhorst ; the  Joan Mitchell Foundation   has tapped   Solana Chehtman , who has been director of creative practice and social impact at the  Shed  in New York, to be its director of artist programs; and Baltimore’s  Walters Art Museum   has hired   Gina Borromeo  as senior director of collections and curatorial affairs (and its senior curator of ancient art) and  Earl Martin  its curator of decorative arts, design, and material culture. Borromeo is coming from the  Rhode Island School of Design ‘s  Museum of Art , Martin from the  Bard Graduate Center .
The Kicker
A MAN OF MANY TIPPLES.  British artist  John Gilroy  is perhaps most famous for drawing animals to advertise  Guinness  beer (toucans, especially). But according to one legend, he was quite a gin drinker, and ran up such a formidable bill at the bar of the  Morritt Arms Hotel  in Greta Bridge, England, that he  painted a mural in 1946 to cover the charges , one employee told  BBC News  . Now that mural—a lively party scene—has been restored. Artist  Sarah Hodgkins , who led the efforts, said, “I would absolutely love it if he was to walk in, order a drink, look at the walls and say, Oh, it lasted quite well.” Alas, Gilroy died in 1985, at 86, but his mural lives on.
