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 week's picture that can be seen for nothing is Doll's House by Patrick Hughes (1993, oil on board). Since 1964, Hughes (who describes himself as a surrealist) has concentrated on three-dimensional relief paintings, usually with an uninhabited , architectural subject - rows of brightly lit night-time skyscrapers , or empty interiors, all walls and windows. These appear to leap out at the viewer in a most disconcerting manner, although only some are actual reliefs: others just appear to be. Con fused? You may be, but that isn't the artist's intention - Hughes is more interested in exploring the nature of perception and in "clarifying our relationship with reality".
