Nesian Mystik. Photo: Facebook The Official Music Charts turns 50 today. Produced by Recorded Music NZ, the Charts reflect the most popular singles and albums in Aotearoa each week. They are the only charts endorsed by the music industry and are compiled according to globally recognised guidelines. In celebration of the milestone anniversary, Recorded Music has identified 50 iconic Aotearoa music moments from the last five decades. The Charts’ 50-year history is rich with stories of pikitanga, or ascension – referring to those who demonstrate great potential and are climbing toward success.  Today is just the start of Charts celebrations during 2025 – Recorded Music will also be acknowledging a small number of New Zealand’s most successful artists as Aotearoa Charts Icons later in 2025.

The Storied Collection of Museu de Arte Moderna in Rio’s Founder Heads to Auction at Sotheby’s Paris

Image
On April 10, Sotheby’s Paris will hold a sale dedicated to Niomar Moniz Sodré Bittencourt, a Brazilian businesswoman and journalist and the founder of Museu de Arte Moderna (MAM) in Rio de Janeiro. Bittencourt, who died in 2003, was a prodigious collector of mid-century Modernist masterpieces, including works by Alberto Giacometti, Pablo Picasso, and Max Ernst, as well as leading Brazilian artists of the era including Almir Da Silva Mavignier and Franz Krajcberg. For those unfamiliar with Bittencourt, that may soon change. Later this year, according to Sotheby’s, a biography by author Ricardo Cota will be released. Titled A Mulher que Enfrentou o Brasil (The Woman Who Faced Brazil), the book will tell how Bittencourt both shaped Brazil’s modern art scene and courageously defied the Brazilian military dictatorship of the ’60s and ’70s. In the 1940s, while Brazil’s cultural establishment remained skeptical of modernism, Bittencourt founded the MAM with little funding and against stif...

Middle East Fund Managers Now on Sotheby’s Reconfigured Board after Abu Dhabi Investment

In October, Sotheby’s announced that it had secured a $1 billion investment from ADQ, a sovereign wealth fund operated by Abu Dhabi’s government. Part of the arrangement stipulates that the auction house’s board would be reconfigured into a nine-person group, with three seats for managers associated with the Emirati fund. At the time, it was unclear how the board would be reconfigured. It meant that for the first time, financial authorities in the Middle East would have a significant presence in how the heritage company was run. This marked a shift in the makeup of its highest levels of management, positions which have historically been held by money managers and lawyers based in Western countries. In UK regulatory disclosures filed shortly after the announcement, Sotheby’s legal department said that H.E. Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi, the Minister of Investment Managing Director & CEO of ADQ, was one of the newly appointed directors to join the global auction house’s board. Alsuwaid...
