DRESDEN (NYT NEWS SERVICE).- After nearly three centuries behind a layer of paint, a naked Cupid has surfaced in one of the worlds best-loved artworks, drastically altering the background of a quiet interior scene. The plump, golden-locked god in Johannes Vermeers Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window, was revealed in a restoration project that Stephan Koja, director of the Old Masters Picture Gallery in Dresden, Germany, described as a detective story and an adventure. The painting is the focus of an exhibition at the gallery, opened Thursday by Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and Prime Minister Mark Rutte of the Netherlands, and running through Jan. 2. It is one of just 35 works definitively attributed to Vermeer: The Dresden show, called Johannes Vermeer: On Reflection, unites 10 of them alongside works by contemporaries from whom Vermeer learned, including Pieter de Hooch and Gerard ter Borch. Ever since an X-ray of Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Wi ... More |

LOS ANGELES (NYT NEWS SERVICE).- In yet another round of upheaval at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, Klaus Biesenbach, the museums artistic director and former director, is leaving for Berlin to run the Neue Nationalgalerie and the future Museum of the 20th Century, the Berlin museum announced Friday morning.

He had been hired as the director of the museum in 2018 but was moved to the position of artistic director this year as the museum grappled with criticism over its lack of diversity and struggled with cuts forced by declining revenues in the midst of the pandemic. His abrupt departure is the latest complication for MOCA as it seeks ... More | |

NEW YORK (NYT NEWS SERVICE).- Michel Laclotte, who as director of the Louvre oversaw much of its historic renovations, and who earlier, as its chief curator of paintings, championed the Musée DOrsay (the museum-in-a-train-station) and I.M. Peis glass pyramid at the Louvre two of the most controversial but ultimately beloved architectural projects of late 20th-century Paris died Aug. 10 in Montauban, in southern France. He was 91. Pierre Rosenberg, Laclottes successor at the Louvre, confirmed the death, at a friends home. No cause was given. Laclotte went to battle for the Musée DOrsay in 1972, after the French government had demolished the centuries-old market buildings at Les Halles. That had ignited a zeal for preservation in Paris rivaling that in New York City almost a decade earlier, when the old Penn Station, a beaux-arts landmark, was destroyed.

NEW YORK (NYT NEWS SERVICE).- Tera Willis was backstage at the Metropolitan Opera, painstakingly adding strand after strand of salt-and-pepper hair to a half-finished wig one of dozens she and her team were racing to finish in time for opening night later this month after the pandemic had kept performers from getting measured until mid-August. I would love about six months, said Willis, the head of the companys wig and makeup department. We have six weeks. In the Mets underground rehearsal rooms, chorus members were straining to project through the masks they must rehearse in, a few pulling the fabric a couple of inches from their face for a moment or two. Just outside its gilded auditorium, which has been empty since the pandemic forced the opera house to close a year and half ago, stagehands were reupholstering some worn red velvet seats.

NEW YORK, NY.- Tanya Bonakdar Gallery is presenting Wong Pings first solo exhibition at the gallery, The Great Tantalizer, on view September 9 - October 23, 2021 in New York. For this exhibition, Wong Ping casts himself as the curator of a didactic exhibition recreating the laboratory of The Great Tantalizer, an enigmatic protagonist of Wongs own creation. According to his legend, The Great Tantalizer was a mad scientist determined to increase the panda population through highly unconventional and erotic panda mating techniques, which scholars have deduced from the artifacts discovered in the ruins of his abandoned laboratory. The laboratory and its contents, including The Great Tantalizers trophy for best hand skill in the industry, a painting of his panda avatar, and his panda tantalizing machine, are displayed throughout the space as an historical reconstruction and biographical study of this apocryphal ...

by Jillian Steinhauer
PHILADELPHIA (NYT NEWS SERVICE).- The moment you walk through Dindga McCannons purple front door, you enter her artistic world. There is patterned fabric everywhere: covering the windows and furniture, hanging in the form of quilts, clothing and batiks. Her paintings occupy the walls, too, and boxes of prints are stashed under the TV. Any free space seems to be a potential spot for art. For more than five decades, McCannon has been making work rooted in who she is: an African American woman and third-generation Harlemite (although she lives in Philadelphia). She has a long-standing reputation in Black and fiber art communities: In an interview, Michelle Bishop, founder and director of the nonprofit Harlem Needle Arts, called her already famous. But, as is the case with so many Black female artists, the ... More |

NEW YORK, NY.- Robert Longos debut exhibition at Pace Gallery, I do fly / After summer merrily, showcases the final installment of the artists Destroyer Cycle, a series of never before-seen works examining notions of American power, violence, and mythmaking pulled from the image storm of societys culture of impatience.

While trends and movements come and go, Richard has stayed true to his vision and singular approach to painting for more than fifty years and I find this unwavering commitment ... More | |

VENICE (AFP).- Penelope Cruz took home the best actress award at the Venice Film Festival, the latest success for the all-conquering queen of Spanish cinema. Cruz won for her starring role in "Parallel Mothers", her latest collaboration with legendary Spanish director Pedro Almodovar. It was a surprisingly political turn for the flamboyant filmmaker, exploring the trauma of the 1930s Spanish civil war alongside the tale of two mothers sharing a maternity ward. It marks a departure into dark historical territory for the director, while still focusing on the themes of motherhood and female relationships that have been central to many of his films. Cruz described Almodovar as "my safety net" in a press conference ahead of their red carpet appearance in Venice. "He can ask me to do something that can ... More |

H&H Cassics' September 8th sale at IWM Duxford grosses £2.5M
LONDON.- Classic car sales highlight both personal taste and what the market is doing, and the H&H Classics sale on Sept 8th at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford was no exception. Perhaps one of the biggest surprises was the tooth and nail tussle between collectors in Hong Kong, Australia, Dubai, India, Singapore and the UK to secure the long dormant 1966 Mercedes-Benz 300 SE Cabriolet, which trebled its pre-sale estimate to fetch £108,100. This was in its day the preferred option for any self-respecting German tycoon who wished to be whisked in luxury along the autobahns in a manner that spoke both of his status and good taste. It was a sensibility echoed by the wealthy around the world. And it has kept its magic as this sale showed clearly. Damian Jones, Head of Sales at H&H said with a smile: The owner was very pleased with the result. I bet ... More

BERLIN.- Galerie Max Hetzler opened a solo exhibition of four new paintings by Raphaela Simon at BleibtreustraÃe 15/16, in Berlin. This is the artists fourth solo presentation with the gallery. In these new works, the evolution of Simons visual language over the past few years is made evident. Where the early paintings showed abstract representations developing out of simple, often geometric forms, the recent works take a more figurative approachpointing not towards realism, but to the essence of her subjects. Concise titles provided in German, the artists mother tongue, invite personal associations while conveying the humorous undertones in Simons work. Where the titles in earlier works had a rather symbolic character, they now appear to have a more descriptive role. On view for the first time, the works presented include ... More
