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.

Among the most interesting works of 1994, Anthony Caro's Trojan War Sculptures are currently showing at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Wakefield. While representing a departure for Caro from his better-known, more abstract work, they lose none of the artist'scharacteristic monumentality.

The hieratic quality of Caro's pieces is echoed in an exhibition of Norman art now on show at Norwich Castle Museum: carvings in wood and ivory which reflect the skill of a civilization too often neglected in favour of the outmoded "big-bang" concept of the Renaissance. The thesis is further invalidated by the British Museum's intoxicating exhibition of Byzantine art and culture.
