Photograph: Stephen White/courtesy of the artist and Stephen Friedman Gallery, London Running in parallel with his excellent exhibition at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, this show of new work by Yinka Shonibare includes satires on the financial crash that invoke Hogarth's mockery of the South Sea Bubble, and a reimagined Last Supper.
• Stephen Friedman Gallery, London W1S, from 16 March until 20 April Other exhibitions this weekGeorge Bellows
Visceral images of boxers and the raw street life of New York haunt this powerful American painter.

Modern British sculpture in the very historic British setting of one of the country's loveliest landscaped gardens.
• Chatsworth House, Derbyshire, until 30 June American Indian Portraits
George Catlin's paintings of Native American faces were done in the early 19th century, before the tragic frontier wars.
• National Portrait Gallery, London WC2H, until 23 June Masterpiece of the week  Heartstrings … Jean-Antoine Watteau's The Scale of Love (1715-18). Photograph: The National Gallery, London Jean-Antoine Watteau's The Scale of Love (1715-18)
Watteau is a poet of elusive moods, and this is a typically erotic and romantic, yet eerily silent and serious, example of his Rococo genius.
• At the National Gallery, London WC2N Image of the week  Fur game … Yinka Shonibare's Revolution Kid (Fox). Photo: Christopher Thomond What we learned this weekThat a church in Tampa Bay looks like a chicken That we can get any picture we want made on Microsoft Paint through one man's Tumblr account That Steven Spielberg is set to become an art historian during the making of his Napoleon miniseries Why two bywords for death – Pompeii and Herculaneum – have been injected with new life That Luke Skywalker's house has gone to rack and ruin – and times are hard on Tatooine too That art does peculiar things to people – like convincing Labour councillors to support a Margaret Thatcher statue in Grantham, and Tories to oppose it That New York's oldest art fair needs to keep an eye on its new competitors That the past is a foreign country, and art is a passport to it And finally … Share your art on the theme of light now Follow us on Twitter now Or check out our Tumblr Want to be the RA's new collection manager?
