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.

This annual outing for 80 contemporary dealers is still not quite the cutting-edge of British art, but it appears to be getting closer. Included this year are half a dozen Belgian galleries which make an interesting comparison with the younger British dealers featured here for the first time. Business Design Centre Man Ray Photographer, writer, sculptor, Man Ray was above all an illusionist. No one term can describe the man who, along with Beauchamp, seems in retrospect to have defined the zeitgeist of the modern world. These images, often surprisingly elegant and charged with the magic of ancient, subconscious power, are among the most enduring icons of our century.

Serpentine Gallery Nicolas Poussin For only the second time ever (the first was in 1960), all the major paintings of Nicolas Poussin are together in one place. The British, with their instinctive regard for this enigmatic artist, have, over the past 50 years, produced a dazzling array of experts on his work. Thirty-five years ago, the cumulative effect of his oeuvre set Poussin scholarship on its head. This show may have a similar effect.
