A small paleolithic statuette, from the series called "Venus of Renancourt", exceptionally well preserved, was discovered last July in a prehistoric site in Amiens (northern France), constituting a rare testimony of the gravettian art typical of hunters - gatherers, revealed the Inrap on December 4. DENIS CHARLET / AFP.
PARIS.- The prehistoric site of Renancourt, in Amiens, has been known for many years and long remained one of the few sites providing evidence for human presence in northern France during the Early Upper Paleolithic (35,000 15,000). Discovered in 2011, during an Inrap diagnostic operation, the site of Amiens-Renancourt 1 has been under full excavation since 2014. During the 2019 season, an exceptional Gravettian Venus, some 23,000-years-old, was discovered. Near the confluence of the Selle and Somme Valleys, in a neighborhood of southwest Amiens, the site is sealed within Eolian silts (loess) attributed to the end of the last glacial period (between 40,000 and 10,000 years ago). Four meters below the current ground level, a concentration of very well-preserved artifacts was discovered. This concentration has been dated by Carbon 14 to 23,000 years ago (21,000 BC) and is attributed to a late phase of the Gravettian culture, wh ... More |

CAIRO (AFP).- Standing at the foot of the towering Great Sphinx of Giza, Zahi Hawass revels in his reputation as an indefatigable yet controversial figure in the enigmatic world of Egyptology. With the early morning sun-kissed pyramids behind him, the 72-year-old dubbed "the Egyptian Indiana Jones" posed casually for photos sporting his trademark cowboy hat. "This is a real archaeologist's hat. Harrison Ford's was a fake," he joked with AFP, referring to the American actor and star of the Indiana Jones movies. Hawass, who has appeared in dozens of documentaries about ancient Egypt, is himself a star attraction for a luxury archaeological tour organised by an operator based in Poland. A larger-than-life character, who sees himself as "the custodian of Egyptian antiquities", he evokes in the same breath ancient deities and Pharaohs as well as his own name. Regaling tour participants with stories of his archaeological ... More | |

WILLIAMSTOWN, MASS.- For centuries, travelers have made visual records of their journeys and eagerly shared their views of distant lands and unfamiliar locations.

NEW YORK (NYT NEWS SERVICE ).- It was a conclusion as sappy-sweet as the climax of Mean Girls, when Lindsay Lohans character breaks apart her homecoming queen tiara and divides the pieces among her classmates. Assembled in Margate, England, to discover the winner of the 2019 Turner Prize, members of the British art world discovered that the long-in-the-tooth award would go to all four nominated artists. I have great pleasure in announcing the winner, said Edward Enninful, the editor of British Vogue, as he opened the envelope. But inside was an unprecedented result: The shortlisted artists, Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Helen Cammock, Oscar Murillo and Tai Shani, had proclaimed themselves a collective, to make a strong statement of community and solidarity. And the jury had unanimously agreed to award the 2019 Turner Prize to the collective formed by the four nominees, said Enninful, eliciting both startled laughter and a standing ovation.

NEW YORK (NYT NEWS SERVICE ).- An 18,000-year-old puppy buried for centuries in a lump of frozen mud was unveiled on Monday by scientists who hope it can help bridge the connection between dogs and wolves. The puppy, which was male, was discovered 18 months ago, preserved in a layer of permafrost in Siberias Far Eastern reaches, according to Dave Stanton, a research fellow at the Center for Palaeogenetics in Stockholm and one of the scientists who examined its DNA. The fur, skeleton, teeth, head, lashes and whiskers of the pup, named Dogor, are still intact, he said. But scientists dont know whether it is a dog or wolf. Stanton said more DNA research would be conducted in the coming months. We need to put this information into context, he said in an interview. Many scientists say dogs evolved about 15,000 years ago from a species of extinct wolves. Others suggest ... More | |

LONDON (NYT NEWS SERVICE ).- There is nothing quite like the buzz of a big, glamorous international art fair. For larger, more well-established galleries with big-name artists on their rosters, there is a nonchalant air to their booths they know the drill. But for galleries that are showing for the first time, it can be a nerve-racking experience that can feel like an enormous gamble in terms of expense, but also a huge opportunity in exposure. A gallerys position is often measured by the level of fair that it is present at, Orsolya Hegedus, the director of Budapests Acb Gallery, wrote in an email, and the axiom context is everything is peculiarly true for the art world. The gallery will be showing for the first time at Art Basel Miami Beach. There are a number of galleries, including High Art in Paris; Revolver ... More | |

NEW YORK, NY.- Pace Gallery is presenting in its newly opened headquarters in New York an exhibition of seminal works by pioneering conceptual and Postminimalist artist Richard Tuttle. The exhibition is split into two bodies of work from the early and late 1970sa decade marked by the birth of many new art forms, ranging from process-based art to land art and institutional critique. Always a maverick, Tuttle was at the forefront of these experimental practices. His works of this period defied categorization and went against the monumentalizing aesthetic and austere industrial precision of much art at the timemost notably Minimalismthrough their modest scale, emphasis on the artists idiosyncratic touch, and embrace of everyday, humble materials. Bringing together his series of ninety-four basis drawings and the sculptural piece 8th Wood Slat (1974), this exhibition offers a unique glimpse into ... More | |

STOCKHOLM.- Nationalmuseum has recently acquired a number of rare objects made of silver plated brass, known as argent haché, from the late 18th century. Few of these objects have survived to the present day, and the museums collections had thus previously lacked examples of this important part of Swedish design history. Several of the objects are from the unique collection of the antiques dealer Lars-Yngve Johansson. Objects of silver plated brass, known as argent haché, were manufactured only in the late 18th century. Few objects of this type have survived to the present day, and those produced in Sweden are of particular interest for Nationalmuseum. The antique dealer and TV personality Lars-Yngve Johansson possessed extensive knowledge of argent haché, as well as a unique collection of such objects. After his death, many of these items were auctioned off in the spring of 2019, and the museum was able to enrich its collections wit ... More | |

LONDON (NYT NEWS SERVICE ).- Artist Faith Ringgold was visiting the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam in 1972 when a museum guard pointed her in the direction of a display that would transform her career.

The artist and curator Eilen Itzel Mena with her painting Aje, which is being exhibited at the show Who Owns Black Art?, in Miami, Dec. 2, 2019.
by John Eligon
MIAMI (NYT NEWS SERVICE ).- Eilen Itzel Menas painting Aje pays homage to an ancient Yoruba religious goddess of wealth and prosperity. It features an upside-down face surrounded by money, and the words spend and save connected with a double-sided arrow. Achieving prosperity, Mena believes, requires a balance in spending and saving. If you give, she said, you will receive. To Mena, 25, that dynamic also should serve as a metaphor for black artists like herself: By putting work into the world (giving), she said, they can receive abundance for themselves and their communities, not just in the capitalistic sense, but more important, in cultural and spiritual ways. But she and other black artists fear that things dont often work out like that for them. At a time when black creators are being celebrated as much as ever from Hollywood to the fine ... More |

Artists cash in on China's online sticker craze
SHANGHAI (AFP).- When "Silly Piggy" appeared in China's popular WeChat social media app, the sticker became an instant hit, with people sending it more than 30 million times in its first month to express their feelings in text messages. Stickers like the mischievous cartoon pig and other quirky creatures are all the rage in China, giving the artists behind them a way to make money and win fans -- as long as they stay within the bounds of censorship. The creator of Silly Piggy, River Rui, was able to leave her office job with a design firm and set up as an independent artist thanks to the success of the character. "'Silly Piggy' is more like how I am in my little world, how I interact with my friends, it's that 'Silly Piggy' kind of style," Rui told AFP. The pig has many moods: he types furiously at his desk as tears stream down his face. He lays flat on the office floor ... More
