<description><![CDATA[While most major museums have some fakes in their collections, few like to advertise the fact. But in an unusual move, the Brooklyn Museum is planning an exhibition for 2009 that will call attention to a group of forgeries among its collection of Coptic sculptures.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The great tradition of flower painting in western art seems to have ended more than a century ago, in a series of tremendous bangs amid an obbligato of whimpers. Bang number one has to be the explosion of Van Gogh, 11 paintings in all, probably. The first four, studies of drying sunflower heads, were painted in Paris in 1887. Of the seven he painted in Arles a year later, the first were intended as decorative panels for the house he shared with Gauguin. He wrote to Theo Van Gogh: &quot;If I carry out the plan there will be a dozen panels ... a symphony in blue and yellow.&quot; The decorative purpose of the panels explains their shallowness of field, simplicity of composition and brushwork.

In May, Munch's Girls on a Bridge, 1902, sold for $30.8m at Sotheby's, tripling the painter's previous auction record. The same work was sold in 1996 for $7.7m.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

The gallery housing the Parthenon marbles, at the top of the museum, with a view towards the actual Parthenon 300m away, will be finally unveiled, although many of the other displays are not expected to be completed until next year.After years of discussions, the museum has now decided how it will present the marbles. The originals are being displayed alongside plaster casts of the pieces removed from Greece, most of which are in the British Museum in London.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If Westerners feel dazed and confused upon exiting the plane at the new international airport terminal here, it's understandable. It's not just the grandeur of the space. It's the inescapable feeling that you're passing through a portal to another world, one whose fierce embrace of change has left Western nations in the dust.The sensation is comparable to the epiphany that Adolf Loos, the Viennese architect, experienced when he stepped off a steamship in New York Harbor more than a century ago. He had crossed a threshold into the future; Europe, he realized, was now culturally obsolete.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

The delay is to give a Canadian museum, gallery or &quot;public authority&quot; time to prepare a cash offer. It could be expensive: The club's value, as indicated on the application for an export permit made this year, is $250,000 (U.S.)<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

The original owner sues you, and before you know it you've both lost your investment and racked up tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. You can sue your dealer to try to recover your loss, but that drags the legal mess out even longer.Disputes over ownership of artworks are common, often protracted, and costly. Well-publicized cases involving theft and Holocaust restitution have drawn attention to the risks involved in not knowing every place your art has been.

<description><![CDATA[Two committees of the Association of Art Museum Directors are looking into ethical issues surrounding the Denver Art Museum's April purchase of an 1892 painting by famed American painter Thomas Eakins.To fund the acquisition, the museum struck an unorthodox deal with billionaire Denver collector Philip Anschutz. In return for a financial donation, he received 50 percent ownership in the painting as well as 50 percent ownership in a major work already in the institution's collection.Millicent Gaudieri, the New York- based association's executive director, confirmed the inquiries but was careful to not call them an investigation.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[On June 17, Interpol held a conference in Lyon, France, to increase co-operation among its 186 member nations in the fight to retrieve stolen cultural property. Since the fall of the Iron Curtain, the rise of the Internet and the globalization of the world economy, trade in stolen art and antiquities has been rising steeply.Interpol is the international police agency through which countries share information on international crime. Of the missing art objects now on Interpol's list, 516 were taken from Canadian collections.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Speculation is rife about an apparent upheaval in the upper echelons of the National Gallery's ranks as deputy director and chief curator David Franklin has quietly gone on indefinite leave.Gallery spokesperson Joanne Charette said only that &quot;Dr. Franklin is currently on leave&quot; and that she was unaware of any timetable for his return.But one former Gallery employee said &quot;on leave&quot; is &quot;terminology they use a lot for people who do not come back,&quot; and that he is widely presumed to have left the Gallery permanently.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Known as Mogaoku -- 'peerless caves' -- and filled with paradisiacal frescos and hand-molded clay sculptures of savior-gods and saints, they are, in size and historical breadth, like nothing else in the Chinese Buddhist world. And Mogaoku is in trouble. Thrown open to visitors in recent decades, the site has been swamped by tourists in the past few years. The caves now suffer from high levels of carbon dioxide and humidity, which are severely undermining conservation efforts.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[his year, in a drive to promote awareness of China's national heritage, the government introduced a free-admission policy at the country's public museums. Officially the cultural establishment greeted the news with smiles. But the look of anxious exasperation on the face of a curator watching crowds of schoolchildren swarm through a gallery of ancient ceramics here on a recent morning told a different story. They touched every exposed surface, leaned on glass cases and smeared them with fingerprints. Body contact and the art experience seemed to be inseparable.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The art market rolls on in a seemingly endless boom regardless of subject, period or medium. On Monday night Christie's sold 48 works of contemporary art for £86.24 million, or $171.87 million.The three big winners of the evening shared no other characteristic than the degree of attention that the artists had aroused in the news media. The highest price went to Francis Bacon's &quot;Three Studies for Self Portrait,&quot; painted in 1975 while the British artist stayed in Paris. The three views of the painter's face are handled in his typical manner influenced by early 20th-century Expressionism, with violent distortions suggestive of drug-induced hallucinations.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time, museums lent to exhibitions almost exclusively according to whether they thought the show was intellectually worthwhile and the work of art was fit to travel. This meant that the less powerful institutions and their curators had a reasonable chance of doing original exhibitions and presenting them to the public, with everyone the winner. In the past ten years, however, this way of doing things has surreptitiously changed for the worse. Now, at last, an official body has blown the whistle.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

Its collection of late Egyptian sculpture was, until now, the second largest in North America. Brooklyn curator Dr Edna Russmann, who is concluding a study of the works, warns that other museums which acquired Coptic sculptures in the past 50 years are likely to face similar problems.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

Four tenacious bidders vied for his &quot;Three Studies for Self-Portrait&quot; from 1975 in what became the evening's longest bidding war, with two would-be buyers on the phone still running up the price, even as it passed $30 million.

<description><![CDATA[Extreme rarity in the art market can have perverse effects, as was demonstrated this week at the Impressionist and Modern art sales held at Christie's and Sotheby's.One consequence is that it reduces the possibilities of comparison, thus sapping the foundations of aesthetic assessment. As a result, gigantic prices are paid for works by famous artists that would not have induced auction house marketing teams to pour unrestrained praise over them a couple of decades ago.Of the three most expensive works sold in Christie's Tuesday evening session, only one, Monet's close-up view of waterlilies floating on the pond of his garden at Giverny, painted in 1919,<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>
