2 h. ago ‘No longer on the margins’: how women are outperfoming men in Africa’s art market

In 2024, the top five highest-priced sales of African art were all by women, according to research, reflecting increased recognition and demand for their workWhen female African artists collectively surpassed men in auction sales in 2023 for the first time, many dismissed it as an anomaly.

The death of one of the sea’s uglier creatures has led to an outpouring online. What is it about this unfortunate creature that has evoked such big feelings?Here’s an unexpected addition to our 2025 bingo card: young women across the internet have been devastated by the demise of a nightmarish fanged fish. A black seadevil anglerfish (unflatteringly described by one marine biologist as “pretty much evolved to be a giant head”), usually a deep-sea dweller, was recently caught on camera swimming close to the surface by a shark research group near Tenerife. Sadly, apparently sick or injured, it died.This, however, was only the start of the anglerfish’s journey in the hearts and TikToks of young women. The fish’s story has triggered an outpouring of emotion.
