Demand was so great to see the 2,000-year-old iconic figures that museum opening hours had to be extended. read more »

La obra se llama Obra número 850 e intenta reinterpretar una actividad mundana como si fuera un acontecimiento teatral. Esto no deja de ser graciosa y sorprendente -aunque para mi no sea arte- en la que cincuenta atletas correrán entre las esculturas de la Tate Britain -cuidado no las rompan- y se alternarán con un intervalo de 30 segundo.

In his review last week, Alfred Hickling awarded Tate Liverpool's new Gustav Klimt exhibition just two stars, and said he was "left with the impression of a hyped catwalk show". He added: "The ruthless commercial exploitation of blockbuster exhibitions is nothing new, yet it sits particularly uneasily with a show whose unique selling point is a full-scale reconstruction of the Beethoven Frieze."

Curiosa exposición que me he encontrado el pasado fin de semana en Oviedo: una exposición urbana de mupis. ¿Y qué son los mupis?, pues son los típicos paneles informativos o marquesinas que podemos encontrar en casi todas las ciudades pero en este caso realizados por creativos para llamar más la atención.

A New York artist looking for a way to shock the public into paying attention to his work appears to have found one after he stenciled "The Assassination of Barack Obama" onto the window of the storefront housing his latest collection. Also paying attention: the NYPD and the Secret Service.

What exactly is an exhibition copy? If the artist oversaw its creation, why isn't it an original? The Cai exhibit, which drew huge crowds to the Guggenheim, raises questions that many museum goers have probably never considered.

It explores portraiture as a genre in its own right, focusing principally on painting but including medals, sculptures, drawings and engravings while leaving aside the donor portrait. The aim of the exhibition is to show that the Renaissance marked not only the beginning and maturation of po

"New York graffiti is the stuff of legend. At least, it was: a messenger boy calling himself TAKI 183 is credited with launching the craze in the early 1970s, and later, when the city was fighting crime and recession, the scene exploded in the city's subway."
