Your support helps us to tell the story
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.FIRST there was Madonna's project for a motion picture on Georgia O'Keeffe. Then we heard rumours that Michelle Pfeiffer was to star as Frida Kahlo. Now the real art blockbuster hits Tinseltown as plans progress for a biopic of Jackson Pollock. In a case of raging bull meets funny lady, Jack the Dripper is to be played by Robert de Niro, with Barbra Streisand cast in the role of his wife, Lee Krasner. Perhaps now is the time for the British art world to propose its own movie offering. We suggest a drama covering the last three decades with Rosanna Arquette as Elisabeth Frink, Alexei Sayle as Francis Bacon and Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson as Gilbert and George. Further castings suggestions from readers are welcomed.
READERS who enjoy art on a daily basis will welcome a new diary published by London Lighthouse. Sold in support of the Aids charity, the diary ( pounds 19.95) features works by 52 of Britain's leading artists, from Art & Language to Adrian Wiszniewski. What better way to start the week?
