Highlights include: David Hockney on Edgar Degas, Marina Abramovic on Umberto Boccioni, Ai Weiwei on a Shang Dynasty jade, Nick Cave on Jasper Johns, Judy Chicago on Agnes Pelton, William Kentridge on Antoine Bourdelle, Luc Tuymans on Jan van Eyck, and Gillian Wearing on Rembrandt"-- Marina Abramović on Umberto Boccioni's Unique forms of continuity in space -- Ai Weiwei on a Shang Dynasty jade from the tomb of Fu Hao -- Leonor Antunes on John Kn
