Who
Gavin Brown
Gavin Brown founded his eponymous gallery, Gavin Brown’s enterprise, in Manhattan’s west Soho in 1994, before moving to Greenwich Street in 2003. Brown ran the artists’ bar Passerby (which had a floor designed by Piotr Uklański) on west 15th Street from 1997 until 2008.
In 2016, the gallery relocated to Harlem, opening with an “enigmatic” exhibition of works by Ed Atkins, while the second exhibition, “Love is the Message, the Message is Death” (2016-2017) by Arthur Jafa was hailed as a “crucial ode to Black America” and “required viewing”.
Born and raised in Croydon, England, Brown initially trained as an artist, attending Newcastle Polytechnic in England and then Chelsea College of Arts in the early 1980s. He moved to New York in 1988 to take part in the Whitney Museum’s Independent Study Program.
While working as a director of 303 Gallery in the early 1990s, Brown spent his spare time staging exhibitions in diverse locations such as his apartment on the Upper West Side, an office cubicle in midtown Manhattan and an abandoned building in TriBeCa. In 1993, he rented a room in the Chelsea Hotel to present the work of the then-unknown artist Elizabeth Peyton.
In 2013, together with the artist Laura Owens, Brown co-founded the Los Angeles artist-run gallery space 356 Mission. He opened a gallery in Rome in the 8th-century church Sant’Andrea de Scaphis in 2015.

ANYTHING CAN BREAK BAD: AN FBI SPECIAL AGENT HAS LEARNED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ART WORLD AND THE MAFI
With a gun in her holster and her mind in art history, FBI Special Agent Meridith Savona has been investigating art crimes for the FBI’s New York office major-crimes unit since 2010. She has seen her fair share of fraudsters and thieves, ranging from would-be dealers trying to pawn off fake Jackson Pollocks to rapacious collectors willing to pay top price for stolen artifacts. With all that she has discovered, her view of the art world, characterized by its secretive nature, is considerably less than favorable—simply put, a breeding ground for crime. But, Savona thinks it’s changing for the better, due in no small part, she believes, to the FBI’s efforts.
Savona is one of two agents based in New York specially trained in the investigation of art crimes, a multimillion-dollar industry rivaling organized crime and arms trafficking. If someone calls the FBI reporting the robbery of a painting or a fraud being committed by a would-be dealer in New York, the case would most likely wind up on her desk or on that of her colleague Christopher McKeogh. The two are members of the FBI’s Art Crime Team, a specialized unit with 16 full-time agents stationed throughout the United States which has recovered more than 2,650 items, valued at more than $160 million, since its inception in 2004.
“I always wanted to be an FBI agent,” said the 50-year-old Savona, who attended Stony Brook University and New England Law, Boston. She came to the FBI in 1996 after working in the Bronx district attorney’s office as a prosecutor. During her first 14 years at the bureau, she focused on organized crime, but when an opportunity arrived to work with major theft, specifically art crimes, she jumped on it. “I wanted to do something where I would learn something new, and this turned out to be the most interesting thing I had done in my entire career,” she said, admitting that she knew little about art when she took the job. “I could learn about art, about different mediums and about artists, but when it came to art as a business and an industry, there wasn’t a whole lot to guide me.” Under the tutelage of the now-retired agent James Wynne, Savona went about learning the ropes, discovering the differences between the art world and the Mafia.
She now spends time at museums and galleries, dragging her husband along when they go on vacation. “I am open to everything because every case is so different,” she said. “Every time I get a call on a case, it’s a different artist, it’s a different medium, and I have to start from scratch to absorb as much as possible.” Her cases have ranged from repatriating stolen Chilean tapestries to raiding an Indianapolis cache of pre-Columbian artifacts. She brings in experts when necessary, not only in art but in science as well, especially when it comes to establishing forgeries. Authenticators who may be leery of offering opinions to ordinary citizens for fear of being sued have become increasingly cooperative with her.
Savona’s first case involved Glafira Rosales and the Knoedler investigation, which proved to be a real eye-opener. “What I found was an art world that is this closed, secretive world,” she said. She discovered that art transactions were unlike almost any other retail exchange. Related cases against collateral defendants were still pending, so Savona was not at liberty to discuss the investigation in detail, but she believed that the publicity surrounding the Knoedler case may play a role in changing that closemouthed environment. “The art world has changed, and I think you will see in the future that the art world will be less secretive in the sale of paintings; you are going to see no more of these handshake deals; you are going to see a lot more transparency, and that is a big change in the art world from when I first came in.”
But the Art Crime Team’s focus is not on cutting the art world down to size, or even making the industry more transparent. The unit was founded in 2004 in response to the raiding of antiquities in Iraq, in particular the looting of rare artifacts from the National Museum in Baghdad in 2003. “Because of the U.S. presence in Iraq at the time, it was clear that somebody would have to investigate,” said Bonnie Magness-Gardiner, manager of the Art Crime Team. “It was also clear that the U.S. government didn’t have a team organized, in place, or with the expertise required to do that kind of investigation,” she said. When the Art Crime Team was established a year later, it began with just eight part-time agents.
Retired Special Agent Robert Wittman was a key player in this development. The son of an Asian antiquities dealer, Wittman began investigating art-related crimes as an agent stationed in Philadelphia in the 1980s. In his 20 years with the bureau, he worked a wide variety of cases, often going undercover to set up “deals” to reclaim stolen artworks. He worked frequently on cases that brought him to Europe, where he noted that Italy, France, Great Britain, and Spain all had special units devoted to art thefts and forgeries, whereas the United States, which controls “40 percent of the art market,” according to Wittman, has rarely been provided a budget to pursue such cases.
“Ultimately, art theft is a property crime,” said Wittman, author of Priceless: How I Went Undercover to Rescue the World’s Stolen Treasures and the just-released book The Devil’s Diary about the return of a missing Nazi diary to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. “The hardest part of this job was to convince the FBI that there is a difference between the theft of a Monet and the theft of a Chevrolet.” Along with establishing the Art Crime Team, the FBI also instituted the National Stolen Art File, an electronic index of items valued at over $2,000, which the public can use to report their suspicions and check on the validity of questionable artworks coming to the market.
According to Wittman, a background in criminal investigation work is essential to being a good art-crime detective. “You need to know the elements of the crime and the statutes that pertain, but then it takes an interest in art,” he said. “You don’t have to be a connoisseur or a specialist, but you have to know the difference between a print versus a painting versus a giclée.” But by far the hardest thing to learn is the business of art, explained the retired agent, who often modeled his undercover performances on his father’s talents at deal making and who often found himself making “deals” on yachts, in hotel rooms, and even in parking lots.
Perhaps, Wittman recalled, his most thrilling case involved trying to track down one of the Rembrandts and the Vermeer that went missing from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990. In that instance, he pretended to be an unscrupulous art dealer named Bob Clay who had flown down to Miami to meet with Frenchman Bernard Ternus. Ternus boasted of having access to numerous stolen works of art, including two Picassos taken from Diana Picasso’s apartment in Paris and a cache of paintings stolen at gunpoint from the Museum of Fine Arts in Nice.
“He said he had a Rembrandt and a Vermeer for sale, and it didn’t take a whole leap of logic to figure out that there’s only one Vermeer missing from the 36 in the world, and to know it had to have come from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum,” said Wittman. Over the course of the investigation, he met with criminals in Barcelona and coordinated with the French police in Paris and Nice from June 2006 until the final arrests in June 2008. The scariest moment came in 2007, when the crooks suspected that Wittman was an informant after the police had recovered the missing Picassos. “That particular case was fairly dangerous because the individuals involved were all doing armed robberies, and when they thought I was an informant, they threatened my life,” he recalled, describing the hair-raising meeting that took place at the Diplomat Hotel in Miami. “I had to stare them down and talk my way out of it,” he said, noting that this was one of the rare occasions when he came armed with two guns, one in each pocket.
“We recovered about $75 million of stolen art, but we couldn’t get the Vermeer or the Rembrandt,” said Wittman. “I probably got pretty close to finding them, and I thought if we could have kept going, we would have had a good shot at possibly identifying where they were, because those art thieves didn’t lie about the Picassos, so I thought they weren’t lying about the rest of the paintings.” Unfortunately, once the French police had arrested the gang for the crimes committed in France, they were uninterested in pursuing the investigation further. In the end, Ternus was sentenced to five years in the United States for transporting stolen goods, and was then deported back to France where he is serving another eight-year sentence for the robberies themselves.
Wittman’s last case, which began when he was at the FBI but continued past his retirement to 2013, was the recovery of a diary written by Third Reich mastermind Alfred Rosenberg. Wittman was contacted in 2001 by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, which was supposed to have received the text along with a cache of papers from the estate of Nuremberg prosecutor Robert Kempner. The diary turned up in the possession of a man in Lewisburg, New York, who had gotten it from one of the prosecutor’s former girlfriends and was holding onto it to turn a profit. “This is my most satisfying case,” said Wittman, who, in the course of his career, had recovered one of the original copies of the Bill of Rights, an original edition of Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, and an original edition of Copernicus’s On the Revolution of the Celestial Spheres. “All those were interesting, but we knew what the books contained. The diary was different because no one knew what was in there. It had never been translated or transcribed.” The recovered text contains invaluable information regarding meetings with Hitler about the “final solution” for the Jews as well as the invasion of Russia. This case is the subject of The Devil’s Diary.
Even though Savona is not certified to go undercover and has not had the same high-profile experiences as Wittman, she has witnessed plenty of excitement of her own. When asked if this line of work is ever dangerous, she replied, “Sure, because anything can break bad.” Speaking of carrying a gun in her holster, she explained, “On the surface, I am confronting a person who has just committed a fraud, but I don’t know how far they are willing to go to save those millions of dollars they are making. I am the person who is trying to stop them from making millions of dollars or is going to prevent them from leaving the country. You never know how far someone like that is willing to go.”
The FBI Art Crime Team maintains a ten-most-wanted list of missing works, currently topped by the cache of 13 paintings stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in 1990, including four works by Rembrandt and a Vermeer. A reward of $5 million has not led to any arrests or information on the whereabouts of the stolen items. Other works on the list include Caravaggio’s Nativity with Saint Francis and Saint Lawrence, stolen in 1969 from Palermo, Italy, and valued at $20 million, and van Gogh’s View of the Sea at Scheveningen and Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in Nuenen, together valued at $30 million, stolen from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam in 2003. Speaking of the Gardner Museum theft, Wittman remained optimistic. “If those paintings are still in existence, they will be recovered, because the bright spot about art is that it outlasts us, so at some point, they are going to come back on the market,” he said.
“The problem with a theft case is finding the object,” explained Savona. “Sometimes, with museums, a theft is not noticed for a period of time until later, when they are doing an inventory.” But noting that the latest museum theft case in the United States is over 20 years old, she insisted that the situation is getting far easier for FBI agents and more difficult for thieves, as surveillance and security considerations now make robberies “pretty tough.”
Fraud and forgeries are on the rise, however, especially as the Internet has made advertising with false claims and fine print that much easier. In 2015 Savona worked the case of East Hampton “dealer” John Re, who was offering a cache of alleged Jackson Pollocks for sale, claiming that they had been discovered in the basement of art restorer George Schulte. Eventually Schulte’s family reported the sales to the FBI out of concern for his reputation. Re pled guilty and was sentenced to five years. “I think the biggest mistake that people make in such cases is that they want to believe they are seeing something that no one else has seen,” said Savona. “If it sounds too good to be true, chances are it’s not true.”
Repatriation of stolen artifacts is also a priority of the FBI Art Crime Team. Cases often involve relationships with Interpol and foreign governments. Today Syria has been added as a key source of looted antiquities, along with Iraq. But sometimes Special Agent Savona is called in to work on cases closer to home.
In 2014 the FBI Art Crime Team deployed special agents, including Savona, to conduct a raid on an Indianapolis home, removing thousands of cultural artifacts, including Native American items. They had been taken by a 91-year-old man, Don Miller, over the course of several decades. “We’re collecting and analyzing with the goal of repatriation,” FBI Special Agent Drew Northern said at the time of the confiscation. Larry Zimmerman, a professor of anthropology and museum studies at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis, described his reaction as “frankly overwhelmed. I have never seen a collection like this in my life except in some of the largest museums.” In addition to American Indian objects, the collection includes items from China, Russia, Peru, Haiti, Australia, and New Guinea, he said. The FBI admits that the task of cataloguing and repatriating the artifacts will take years of work.
On a typical day, Savona handles 12 to 15 cases. She acknowledged that art crime is so prevalent that the FBI could have 20 agents in the New York office working on it full time. Savona spends most of her time interviewing suspects and witnesses, sometimes in tandem with a partner. “It comes down to getting people to talk to you when it is really not in their best interest to speak up,” she said. “Somehow, some way, you get them to open up. The best part of the job for me is having a partner to work with and getting a back-and-forth going until you get someone to open up. That’s really what this is all about, and it’s how you make your cases.”
We have a group of people who are coming to volunteer in April and with supervision they will be painting the mural.
We want the murals to flow from one to the other and to depict services of the Council on Aging.
I have attached the sizes of the spaces we want to paint in and some photos of the area.
I am in the office so please call me so that we can discuss any options available to us.
We appreciate any help and suggestions you can give us.

Chaos as Woman Brutally Stabbed at Art Basel in Miami Beach
An altercation amid the aisles let to blood shed at Art Basel in Miami Beach at about 5:15pm last night as one visitor to the fair stabbed another with an X-Acto knife, reports the Miami Herald.
The incident, which involved two women, took place at the fair's Nova sector, which focuses on young artists, at the booth of Los Angeles's Freedman Fitzpatrick Gallery, in front of Miami artist Naomi Fisher's The Swamp of Sagittarius installation.
The victim reportedly confronted her attacker, who has been identified as 24-year-old Siyuan Zhao, of New York, and accused her of following and repeatedly bumping into her. According to police, Zhao responded by stabbing her in the arms and neck.
The injuries were non-life threatening, and the victim was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital. As Zhao was arrested, according to police reports, she told officers "I had to kill her and two more!" and "I had to watch her bleed!" NBC reports that Zhao is facing an attempted murder charge.
Visitors to the fair were reportedly confused by the stabbing, mistaking it for performance art. The area was quickly marked off with police tape, which some people seem to have thought was part of the installation.
"A guy walked up to me and said, 'I thought I saw a performance, and I thought it was fake blood, but it was real blood," Fisher told the Herald. "It's horrible … I'm so freaked out."
The Herald reports that Art Basel had increased security measures at the fair following the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, and moved quickly to clean up evidence of the violent event.
"The attack was an isolated incident that was immediately secured," said Art Basel Miami Beach spokeswoman Sara Fitzmaurice in a statement. "Our thoughts are with the victim."

62 Women Share Their Secrets to Art World Success: Part One
What are the secrets to a successful career in the art world? We asked 62 women in the upper echelons of museums, galleries, art PR firms, and art non-profits to tell us what they've learned over the course of their careers, and to offer their advice for women looking to break into the business (see 12 Must-Read Tips for a Successful Career in the Art World, We Asked 20 Women "Is the Art World Biased?" Here's What They Said, and The 100 Most Powerful Women in Art: Part One, Part Two, andPart Three).
The survey did bring a few tongue-in-cheek responses.
Simon de Pury, husband and business partner of the dealer Michaela de Pury, offered this: "act like a man look like a woman," while his better half provided more practical advice. Of course, much of what our respondents had to say will be relevant to everyone. As Daniella Luxembourg noted after delivering her words of wisdom, this was advice she "would give to women and men alike."
Here is what the first half of our participants had to say, in no particular order. (For the second part, see 62 Women Share Their secrets to Art World Success: Part Two).
- Beatrix Ruf, director of the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam(see Beatrix Ruf Named New Stedelijk Museum Director)
See everything, be present, ask a lot, and most of all, be with the artists.
- Anne Pasternak, president and artistic director of Creative Time, New York, soon-to-be director of the Brooklyn Museum (see Creative Time's Anne Pasternak Named Brooklyn Museum Director)
It's no secret that women have to work hard and smart every day if they want to be successful!
3. Michaela de Pury, co-founder of de Pury de Pury, London
Have the right artworks and the right clients—paired with expertise and experience.
4. Angela Goding, director of development, MoMA PS1, Long Island City, Queens
Intuition cannot be overrated.
5. Dorsey Waxter, co-founder of Van Doren Waxter gallery, New York
Pursue what interests you but stay focused!
6. Jennifer Faure Francis, executive director of marketing and communications at the Philadelphia Museum of Art
Seek a specialty, explore your interests, drive your passion, be exceptional, and make your voice heard.
7. Sue Stoffel, director of art advisory company StoffelARTS, New York
8. RoseLee Goldberg, founder of Performa, New York
Be kind, be generous, and don't blame the guys.
9. Katelijne De Backer, director of Art Miami New York
The art world demands fluidity and perfection; therefore you need to stay focused, have a great amount of passion, and don't be intimidated.
10. Rachel Lehmann, co-founder of Lehmann Maupin gallery, New York
Passion driven by persistence, curiosity, and commitment is critical to success in the art world, and listening to Pharrell's “Happy" doesn't hurt either!
11. Cheyenne Westphal, co-head, contemporary art worldwide atSotheby's
For me, the key elements are: love and curiosity for art, honed expertise, the confidence to follow your intuition, and putting long-term relationships with collectors before short-term gain.
12. Lucy Mitchell-Innes, co-founder of Mitchell-Innes & Nash gallery, New York
Listen well, look long, and speak little.
13. Helen Toomer, director of PULSE Contemporary Art Fair, New York and Miami
The key to success is to determine exactly what success means to you—set your own goals and accomplish these by working hard, dedicating your time and energy, while maintaining pride and confidence in what you do—even when it may not always go the way you planned.
14. Elizabeth Marks, partner at Matthew Marks Gallery, New York
One of the most important things for me was to grow slowly and allow the gallery to build a sound financial infrastructure, which in turn gave Matthew the freedom to never have to compromise creatively.
15. Eugenie Tsai, curator of contemporary art at the Brooklyn Museum
Patience and tenacity are essential to attaining any goal in life. It's also important to put yourself in situations where opportunities will present themselves.
16. Dominique Lévy, founder of Dominique Lévy gallery, New York, London, and Geneva
Find what you are truly passionate about and then pursue it wholeheartedly, because a life's work that brings you joy will strengthen you throughout a long career.
17. June Kelly, founder of June Kelly Gallery, New York
As a woman in the art world, I believe it is essential to build solid and effective relationships that can nurture and support shared objectives.
18. Agnes Gund, president emerita of the Museum of Modern Art, New York
I was so lucky to have brilliant teachers who taught me how to see art, and mentors who exposed me to wonderful artists and collectors and curators. I made sure to seize every opportunity to see as much as I possibly could. I learned from the ground up by being on committees and councils, and always attempted to convey my appreciation and acknowledgement for everyone's role. People respond when you give them the respect they deserve, and I have enjoyed the wonderful relationships I have made with so many extraordinary artists. My advice would be: Seek out the best teachers, see as much as you can, always continue to learn, value your friendships, and treat people with respect.
19. April Hunt, founder and CEO of Sparkplug PR, New York
Go with your instincts, define your own success, and be a good human being while doing so.
20. Deborah Kao, chief curator (and soon to be interim co-director) of the Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge, Massachusetts
One of the most important lessons I've learned is to keep in balance the laser focus needed to develop and implement a transformative vision for an institution or a field with the open posture required to cultivate and integrate innovative ideas as well as creative methods for achieving them.
21. Gracie Mansion, senior specialist, post-war & contemporary art, atartnet Auctions, New York
Rush blindly.
22. Ann Philbin, director of the Hammer Museum at UCLA
Strive to reshape and expand the art historical canon—it is not etched in stone.
23. Justine Ludwig, director of exhibitions and senior curator at theDallas Contemporary (see Dallas Contemporary Hires Alison Gingeras and Justine Ludwig)
Make choices that scare you. Taking risks and challenging yourself produces the most rewarding path.
24.Valerie Cassel Oliver, senior curator of the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston
Contemporary art is a landscape that is ever-evolving. As curators, we are literally writing history as it happens. You have to be comfortable and confident when working in uncharted territory.
25. Agnès Monplaisir, founder of Galerie Agnès Monplaisir, Paris
Stay true to your unique vision and always surround yourself with great beauty.
26. Maryam Eisler, director of the Maryam and Edward Eisler Foundation, London
Art wins where politics often fails. Art is a great weapon with strong regenerative power allowing for open dialogue and critical thinking. Art has the potential to change unfounded misperceptions. Art is today's most powerful expressive tool conveyed through artists whom are, in my opinion, today's opinion makers. That is how I see art and how I use art for my bigger picture objectives. Art as soft power.
27. Leila Taghinia-Milani Heller, founder and president of Leila Heller Gallery, New York
The key to my success is built on three things: my passion for the arts, my well-honed people skills, and my determination to never take "no" for an answer.
28. Lisa Dennison, chairman of Sotheby's North and South America
My advice on art world success is actually the same for women as for men: develop connoisseurship at the highest level, and let that be your guiding principle at every turn.
29. Clare McAndrew, cultural economist and founder of the Arts Economics consulting firm, creator of the annual TEFAF market report (see Clare McAndrew Explains How She Prepares the TEFAF Art Market Report)
While personal taste seems central to purchasing art, many buyers are very reluctant to rely on their own. The “superstar phenomenon" we are seeing in the art market, where works of a narrow group of artists achieve extraordinarily high prices, is being driven in part by risk reducing techniques and the pervasive desire to “consume as others are consuming". Many new collectors will only purchase well-recognized works or those by famous artists, essentially relying on the preferences already established by previously successful buyers, hence reducing the risks of relying on their own taste. Collectively, this tends to reinforce the position of successful artists while letting other lesser known, but equally talented, artists go unnoticed. This (along with scarcity) is why some prices are so high, rather than necessarily a difference in quality. You do not need to be a millionaire to access high quality but you do need to put a bit of time and effort into your own research or gaining access to some objective advice.
30. Paula Cooper, founder of Paula Cooper Gallery
Forget that you're a woman, be a person.

New York (AFP) - A Picasso painting, snatched more than a decade ago from a storeroom in Paris, has surfaced in New York and will be returned to the French government, US officials said Thursday.
The century-old Cubist oil was smuggled into the United States last December from Belgium with a shipping label that described the contents as a handicraft holiday present worth 30 euros ($37).
The painting, known as "La Coiffeuse" or "The Hairdresser," is estimated to be worth millions of dollars, US prosecutors said.
It was intercepted by US customs and subsequently seized by Homeland Security Investigations.
"A lost treasure has been found," said Loretta Lynch, attorney for the eastern district of New York.
"Because of the blatant smuggling in this case, this painting is now subject to forfeiture to the United States. Forfeiture of the painting will extract it from the grasp of the black market in stolen art so that it can be returned to its rightful owner," added Lynch, who is also the US Attorney General nominee.
Painted in 1911, the oil-on-canvas measures 33 by 46 centimeters (13 by 18 inches) and is part of the Musee National d'Art Moderne collection in Paris.
It was last exhibited publicly in Munich, Germany, where it was on loan to the Kunsthalle der Hypo-Kulturstiftung.
It was then returned to Paris and placed in the storerooms of the Centre George Pompidou. Officials only realized it was missing when a loan request came through in 2001 and they could not find it.

New York (AFP) - A Picasso painting, snatched more than a decade ago from a storeroom in Paris, has surfaced in New York and will be returned to the French government, US officials said Thursday.The century-old Cubist oil was smuggled into the United States last December from Belgium with a shipping label that described the contents as a handicraft holiday present worth 30 euros ($37).The painting, known as "La Coiffeuse" or "The Hairdresser," is estimated to be worth millions of dollars, US prosecutors said.It was intercepted by US customs and subsequently seized by Homeland Security Investigations."A lost treasure has been found," said Loretta Lynch, attorney for the eastern district of New York."Because of the blatant smuggling in this case, this painting is now subject to forfeiture to the United States. Forfeiture of the painting will extract it from the grasp of the black market in stolen art so that it can be returned to its rightful owner," added Lynch, who is also the US Attorney General nominee.Painted in 1911, the oil-on-canvas measures 33 by 46 centimeters (13 by 18 inches) and is part of the Musee National d'Art Moderne collection in Paris.It was last exhibited publicly in Munich, Germany, where it was on loan to the Kunsthalle der Hypo-Kulturstiftung.It was then returned to Paris and placed in the storerooms of the Centre George Pompidou. Officials only realized it was missing when a loan request came through in 2001 and they could not find it.

EXHIBITIONS
Photography festival in France
François Hebel is directing the photography festival’s 45th edition for his 15th and final year. “Arles has always been a theatre for me. Every year, for 15 years, it becomes a city-wide stage, putting photographers in the spotlight and at the microphone (or even the megaphone) to communicate directly with their viewers,” Hebel says. This year marks a pivotal year for Arles with the opening of the Fondation Vincent Van Gogh, and the laying of the foundation stone of another patron of the festival, the Luma Foundation campus, designed by Frank Gehry. Fifty exhibitions and workshops dedicated to “friendship and fidelity” take over the city along with a full programme of lectures, debates, awards and an auction. Hebel says: “To make an artist visible is the most beautiful gift one can offer him. We strive to make Arles an effective place in the spotlight; the artists we invite return the favour by expending an extraordinary energy here.”READ MORE

APPLY TO THIS CALL
Call Type: Public Art Eligibility: National City: Anchorage State: Alaska Fee: $0.00 Entry Deadline: 12/27/13Days remaining to deadline: 30 Project: Robert W. Service High School
Deadline for Entries: Friday, December 27, 2013 4:00 pm
Contact: Curator of Public Art, 1% for Art, (907) 343-6473
Amount of Commission: $100,000
Project Information
Project construction began in May 2013 and will be completed by summer 2016.
Site Description
The art selection jury intends to commission two art installations ($100,000 per artwork) to be permanently installed at two locations in the remodeled High School which is located at 5577 Abbott Road in Anchorage. There are three potential sites that have been discussed for placement of artwork in the cafeteria and library, although the committee will consider other suggested sites.
The first potential location is the ceiling of the remodeled library. The height of the ceiling is 20’6” and has a diameter of 14’ usable space for artwork. The space could accommodate a three-dimensional artwork suspended from the ceiling, provided it weighs less than 500 lbs.
The second and third potential locations are located in the remodeled cafeteria. Historically the cafeteria is used as a multi-purpose space that can double as an indoor practice facility for athletics, so potential artwork needs to be extremely durable.
Within the cafeteria the second potential location is the ten columns spread throughout the space. Each column measures 2’ by 2’ square and stands 13’ 6” tall. To date the columns are used by students to publicize dances and activities with taped flyers. Proposed artwork could be located from 8’ to 13’ tall to accommodate this continued use, although this is not required.
The third potential location is the ceiling of the remodeled cafeteria. A three-dimensional suspended artwork will need to be located down the center of the room to accommodate acoustical baffles on either side of the room. Junction boxes will be located in the center of the ceiling to power potential lit artwork.

(BOPA) is proud to announce the ninth edition of the Janet & Walter Sondheim Prize. The prize will award a $25,000 fellowship to a visual artist or visual artist collaborators living and working in the Baltimore region. The prize is in conjunction with the annual Artscape juried exhibition and is produced with our partners, the Walters Art Museum and the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). Approximately six finalists will be selected for the final review for the prize. Their work will be exhibited in the Special Exhibition Gallery at The Walters Art Museum – an exciting partner who generously offered to host the finalist exhibition for the second year. Additionally, an exhibition of the semi-finalists’ work will be shown in the Decker, Meyerhoff and Pinkard galleries of MICA during the Artscape weekend (July 18-20, 2014).
The fellowship winner will be selected from the Walters Art Museum exhibition after review of the installed art and an interview with each finalist by the jurors. Artist collaborators, if chosen as the winner, will receive a single $25,000 prize that will be equally divided among the members of the group.
The Artscape prize is named in honor of Janet and Walter Sondheim who were instrumental in creating the Baltimore City that exists today. Walter Sondheim, Jr. had been one of Baltimore’s most important civic leaders for over 50 years. His accomplishments included oversight of the desegregation of the Baltimore City Public Schools in 1954 when he was president of the Board of School Commissioners of Baltimore City. Later, he was deeply involved in the development of Charles Center and the Inner Harbor. He continued to be active in civic and educational activities in the city and state and served as the senior advisor to the Greater Baltimore Committee until his death in February 2007.
Janet Sondheim danced with the pioneering Denishawn Dancers, a legendary dance troupe founded by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn. Later, she turned to teaching where she spent 15 years at the Children’s Guild working with severely emotionally disturbed children. After retirement, she was a volunteer tutor at Highlandtown Elementary School. She married Walter in 1934, and they were together until her death in 1992.
The 2014 Janet & Walter Sondheim Prize is made possible through the generous support of the Abell Foundation, Alex. Brown & Sons Charitable Foundation, Charlesmead Foundation, Ellen Sondheim Dankert, France-Merrick Foundation, Hecht-Levi Foundation, Legg Mason, M&T Charitable Foundation, Henry & Ruth Blaustein Rosenberg Foundation, John Sondheim and The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company.

The LaGrange National Competition traces its beginning to 1964 when a competitive show known as the Gardens Art Festival was organized and sponsored by the Chattahoochee Valley Art Association, LaGrange College and Callaway Gardens.
In 1974, the competition was moved to LaGrange, took the name LaGrange National, and was expanded from a regional to a national show. In 1984, the competition was expanded again into two completely separate shows held simultaneously, with the Chattahoochee Valley Art Association exhibiting paintings, prints and drawings, and the Lamar Dodd Art Center of LaGrange College exhibiting sculpture, ceramics, photography & decorative arts.
Over the years, the LaGrange National has earned an excellent reputation. It has hosted numerous distinguished jurors including Lloyed Goodrich, Richard Lahey, Carl Holty, Joseph Rishel, Larry Poons, Jane Livingston, Cynthia McCabe, Linda Cathcart, Ted Potter, Roy Slade, Henry Hopkins, Patterson Sims, Peter Mirin, Siri Engberg, Benny Andrews, Robert Lyon, Jane Jackson, Eleanor Heartney, J. Richard Gruber, PhD and Dr. Robert E. Steele. This year, Annette Cone-Skelton joins the list of these respected jurors who have helped bring additional prestige to the LaGrange National.
The LaGrange National provides the citizens of West Georgia and East Alabama access to current artistic practice from throughout the United States; offers artists exhibition opportunities and purchase possibilities; and affords the LaGrange Art Museum and the Lamar Dodd Art Center a means for the development of significant collections of contemporary American art. Both organizations have been extremely fortunate to have generous support from the Callaway Foundation of LaGrange and others who have provided purchase award funds to further their growing collections.

Throughout the history of the world in cultures near and far, animals have played a huge part in the world of art.
From the beginning of time when man first scrawled a buffalo on cave walls to the present time; animals are characterized and depicted in stories, cartoons and movies. The rich history of animals represented in mythologies and folktales is endless. These animals awaken our creative spirit and feed our imagination.
From the years of the zodiac to the spirits of totem poles animals and animal icons play a huge part in our everyday life.
This exhibition will explore a wide range of animal depictions in art. We will explore how art artists continue to draw from past stories as well as create new narratives as characters in their art take on animal traits, and new creatures are imagined.

Throughout the history of the world in cultures near and far, animals have played a huge part in the world of art.
From the beginning of time when man first scrawled a buffalo on cave walls to the present time; animals are characterized and depicted in stories, cartoons and movies. The rich history of animals represented in mythologies and folktales is endless. These animals awaken our creative spirit and feed our imagination.
From the years of the zodiac to the spirits of totem poles animals and animal icons play a huge part in our everyday life.
This exhibition will explore a wide range of animal depictions in art. We will explore how art artists continue to draw from past stories as well as create new narratives as characters in their art take on animal traits, and new creatures are imagined.

Hirst gets ethical
For all those who say Damien Hirst will do anything for money, it's worth pondering on a recent news nugget revealing that the UK artist withdrew from creating what could have been the most gigantic work of art of all time, or at least one of them: a wrap for the Olympic Stadium in London after a row over sponsorship by Dow Chemicals (in 1999 Dow purchased Union Carbide, a firm involved in some 15,000 deaths in Bhopal India following a gas leak). Film-maker Danny Boyle, who directed the Olympics opening ceremony, says he asked Hirst to design a 3,000 ft long, 66 ft high fabric wrap around the stadium but the artist pulled out when news of Dow's controversial £7m sponsorship deal emerged, according to The Sunday Times. "Originally we designed the wrap for the stadium. It was to be covered in ivy and called the Hanging Garden. It got taken away from us," says Boyle in an authorised biography ("Danny Boyle: Creating Wonder") to be published next month. Despite pulling out of the opening ceremony, Hirst went on to design a monumental spin painting which formed the backdrop to the closing festivities.
Bedwyr looks to the stars
Pop along today (15 March) to St Fagans National History Museum, Cardiff, and find out what the Welsh artist Bedwyr Williams has in store for the Welsh Pavilion this summer at the Venice Biennale (the St Asaph-born artist proudly represents Cymru at the Italian art jamboree this year). A day of talks, performances and film screenings at the museum (11am-5pm), quirkily entitled "Bedwyr Williams and the Starry Messenger", "explore the relationship between stargazing and the home, the cosmos, and the role of the amateur", says a press statement (naturally, Williams's Venice installation looks at life, the universe, and everything). An evening of comedy performances from 8pm, "Starry Night", tops off the day of delving into the cosmos.
Pop(e) art in Venice
Will the newly elected Pope throw his weight behind the Vatican's plans for a pavilion at this year's Venice Biennale? Unsurprisingly, we've had no word from the Holy See about Pope Francis I's vision for Venice (he may have other priorities this morning). The Vatican's line-up for the biennale, which opens in June, has not been announced but early last year, the Italian newspaper La Stampa reported that “the artists will include fewer than ten men and women from various countries around the world, some of whom are established artists and others who are just emerging. Their subject matter will be the first 11 chapters of the Book of Genesis.” A spokesman for the Venice Biennale confirmed this morning that the Vatican pavilion will launch at the Arsenale, so can we expect to see the humble former archbishop of Buenos Aires, known for taking public transport, hopping on and off the vaporetti (water buses) in Venice this summer?
Unicorn tapestries recreated
The famous cycle of seven, early 16th-century Netherlandish tapestries, “The Hunt of the Unicorn”, has been recreated at a cost of £2m as part of Historic Scotland’s £12m refurbishment of James V’s apartments at Stirling Castle. Weavers at West Dean Tapestry Studio in Sussex, England, have been working for more than 12 years on the tapestries, which are based on the originals in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Six of the works are copies, but the seventh, The Mystic Capture of the Unicorn (above), which is due to be completed in spring next year, is a new interpretation based on two surviving fragments. The design for the last work will be exhibited alongside one of the completed tapestries, The Unicorn is Found, 2008, in an exhibition, “Finding the Unicorn: Tapestries Mythical and Modern”, at London’s Fleming Collection (17 April-1 June). —V.L.
In and out at Maastricht
Tefaf Maastricht will be the final outing for the London-based Old Master specialist gallery Agnew’s which is closing its doors after 195 years. “We’ve got some very good things to show at the fair, and we aim to sell them,” says the gallery’s chairman Julian Agnew, a sixth generation member to work for the family firm. Agnew says he will continue to work from home advising clients privately: “For most dealers who are not in the contemporary art world, you don’t need a gallery anymore.” Meanwhile, Haunch of Venison has withdrawn from Tefaf after Christie’s, its parent company, announced the closure of the gallery, which it bought in 2007. The auction house will retain the gallery’s secondary market business. “Due to proposed changes at Haunch of Venison, we regret to announce that the gallery will no longer participate in Tefaf,” a gallery spokeswoman says. —C.B.
All About My Mother
Visitors to the Other Art Fair next month at the Ambika P3 venue in London (25-28 April) will no doubt be taken aback by a display of paintings depicting a multitude of mums. Entitled "100 Mothers", the installation will feature a plethora of portraits by artists such as Dinos Chapman, Grayson Perry, Vic Reeves, and Daisy de Villeneuve who have all painted pieces celebrating their mothers. Harry Pye, the display curator, says: "'100 Mothers' is probably the most straightforward and irony free exhibition of all time. I selected 50 male and 50 female artists I admired, provided them with a 16 by 20 inch canvas and asked them to paint their mother on it. The results were 100 paintings: some touching, some funny, some sad, some disturbing." Pye points out that the paintings are not for sale individually. "I'd like the paintings to stay together and be seen by as many different people as possible. If someone wanted the lot, we'd charge £100,000, all of which would be donated to a worthy cause." The Other Art Fair presents works by unrepresented artists.
Painting from beyond the grave
In a bit of a macabre performance, the Norwegian artist Morten Viskum used a dead man’s hand to paint an African landscape as part of the Red Zone festival last month in Oslo. The appendage had come from a man who emigrated to Norway as a child refugee and died as an adult in 2008. Viskum imagines that the dead man dreamed the landscape. “Showing this performance in a church puts the dreams and thoughts of this man in a larger perspective”, said Erik Hyllestad, one of the organisers of the festival, which deals with freedom of speech. Around 100 people came to watch the performance held in the “kulturkirken Jakob”, a church building in Oslo that houses cultural events as well also religious services. Viskum previously painted using a cadaver’s hand during the Venice Biennale in 2009. During that show, someone complained to the police, but in Norway “only one person left the church shouting something nobody understood”, Hyllestad said. — Hanne Cecilie Gulstad
Waiting for Jeff
The UK contemporary art collector and DIY magnate Frank Cohen gives an illuminating interview in The Times, shining a bright-ish light on the perplexing process behind commissioning new works. How much has he spent on art, the London newspaper asks. “A lot of money. I can’t tell you.” The most expensive piece is a balloon monkey by Jeff Koons, “if we get it", Cohen says. The idea is apparently still in production six years on. “You have to wait, like a lifetime’s sentence. Just incredible. It doesn’t exist. You are buying something off a drawing. We wait and we wait and we wait.” Cohen will show works from his collection at the Dairy Arts Centre, his new space which opens next month in Bloomsbury, London. The new gallery, formerly a 12,500 sq ft. depot for Express Dairies, is a joint project with the Danish art advisor Nicolai Frahm.
Room for Bloomberg in Serpentine space
The Art Newspaper understands that the mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, will have a room named after him at the Serpentine Gallery’s new annexe, the Serpentine Sackler Gallery, which is scheduled to open this June in London’s Kensington Gardens. The Iraqi-born architect Zaha Hadid has overseen the redevelopment of the 208-year-old Grade II-listed building, a former gunpowder depot, which will provide 900 sq. m of gallery and events space. “Bloomberg made a transformative founding gift to the Serpentine Sackler Gallery,” says a spokeswoman for the gallery, who declined to reveal how much the mayor donated. Bloomberg, who also declined to comment, served as a trustee of the Serpentine from 1998 until 2001. The new gallery is named after the Dr Mortimer and Theresa Sackler Foundation.
A fictional trial is busted by real police in Russia
Truth is often stranger than fiction in Russia, and last Sunday was no exception when immigration police and later Cossacks in furry black headgear burst into a theatrical recreation of the Pussy Riot trial at Moscow’s Sakharov Centre. The policemen demanded to check the documents of Milo Rau, the founder and director of the Cologne and Zurich-based International Institute of Political Murder who had organised the performance, and accused him of violating Russian visa regulations. A lawyer participating in the performance helped Rau deal with the police, but two hours later, the show was interrupted once again when Cossacks stormed in, saying they were there to defend Russian Orthodoxy from further insults. “My impression was that they had absolutely no plan—they just wanted to interrupt it and helplessly searched for a reason,” Rau told AP today. “It was more Kafka than Stalin.” The trial resumed, and soon Yekaterina Samutsevich, the only one of the three jailed members of the punk group Pussy Riot to be released on probation, took the stand. Rau said he will be turning his film of the “Moscow Trials” into a video installation to be shown at the next Berlinale film festival.
German curator enters Russian territory at Venice
Russian journalists, curators and collectors descended upon the Stella Art Foundation in Moscow last night (28 February) to discover curator Udo Kittelmann's plans for the Russian Pavilion at this year's Venice Biennale (1 June-24 November). Over a lavish dinner awash with Russian delicacies, the director of the State Museums Berlin, told the assembled art crowd that eyebrows were raised in Germany when he was appointed last year to present a show of works in La Serenissima by Vadim Zakharov, a founding member of the Moscow Conceptualists in the 1970s. But the decision to take the Venice project on board was an easy one says Kittelmann, as Zakharov is a trusted colleague. In a press statement, Kittelmann says: "As a curator, one must be truly convinced of an artist's work in order to follow his career continuously for the past 20 years. I have followed Zakharov through mythical Elysian Fields and met much resistance with him as we erected together [in 2003] the monument for Theodor W. Adorno at his place of birth, Frankfurt am Main [the memorial was repeatedly damaged by vandals]." The glamorous patron Stella Kesaeva, commissioner of the pavilion and the founder of the eponymous foundation, hired Kittelmann last year.
A peek at the archives: The Art Newspaper, March 1993
Making headlines 20 years ago in The Art Newspaper: The Italian government promises the equivalent of $1.2 billion for the protection of Venice and bans the passage of oil tankers through the lagoon. Today, the flood defences are still not finished and the tankers are still sailing in and out. Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen confirms that he will sell the majority of his collection, mainly of Old Masters, to the Spanish State for the equivalent then of $259m, a price well below its market value. The Getty Center for the History of Art and the Humanities buys most of the personal archive of the Futurist Filippo Marinetti: 120 manuscripts, scrapbooks, 1,000 photographs, posters, letters from Balla, Severini, Depero and more. The Italian authorities do not stop it because they are fixated on Old Masters. Sotheby’s lends $1.5m to the indigent New York Historical Society against the $3.5m surety of its library and art collections. The Kremlin lends a Metropolitan-worthy show of treasures to an antique dealer, Marco Datrino, in the remote north Italian village of Torre Canavese because he is a trusty and, in the post-Soviet collapse, the museum is in desperate need of funds.

National Call to Artists at Broward Addiction Recovery Center and Nancy J. Cotterman Center
-Deadline: January 29, 2013-
DATE: January 16, 2013
MEDIA CONTACT: Jody Horne-Leshinsky,
Broward County Cultural Division
PHONE: 954-357-7463
EMAIL: jleshinsky@broward.org
The Broward Cultural Division’s Public Art & Design Program is seeking to commission one or two artists or artist teams to design, build and install functionally-integrated public art projects for two new social services facilities that are projected to share a joint campus in Broward County. This National Call to Artists will have a Two Week Only window for response, beginning on January 16 and ending on the application deadline, January 29, 2013.
The Broward Addiction Recovery Center (BARC) and the Nancy J. Cotterman Center (NJCC) is expected to be co-located on a site of approximately 4-acres in Fort Lauderdale. The site will include a two-story building approximately 38,500 square feet to house a 50-bed detoxification unit, counseling services and other related functions for BARC, and a one- or two-story building approximately 17,500 square feet to house counseling services and other related functions for NJCC.
The artist(s) or artist team will be commissioned to design, build and install functionally-integrated interior or exterior artwork(s) for one or both facilities. Artwork opportunities include, but are not limited to, durable, low maintenance enhancements to the building interiors, exterior courtyards and therapeutic gardens. It is intended that the artwork be spatially-integrated to the site as well as functionally-integrated. The selected artist may collaborate with the landscape architect; however, living plant material is not encouraged as a component of the design proposal.
According to a 2009 report by the Society for the Arts in Healthcare, when arts are part of care settings, anxiety and pain are reduced, which prompts mental and emotional healing, reduces stress and improves the overall experience. “This is a wonderful opportunity for an artist to contribute to the appearance and “sense of place” we hope to create within a County social service facility,” says Jody Horne-Leshinsky, Interim Director, Broward Cultural Division.
This is a fast-track project for the artist selection process and for the artist(s) to collaborate with the design team to integrate the artwork to the site. The architect has been selected and schematic design for the two facilities have already commenced. Interested artists should apply only if they are able to commit intensive time to the project during the spring of 2013 when the most effective collaborations with the design team are anticipated to occur. The conceptual design proposal will be reviewed by the Artist Selection Panel, the Public Art & Design Committee, the Broward Cultural Council and the Broward County Board of County Commissioners prior to issuance of notice-to-proceed with fabrication.
The total budget established for the (BARC) Project is not to exceed $172,300, and the total budget established for the (NJCC) Project is not to exceed $78,100. The same artist may be selected for both projects, or, different artists may be selected for each project.

“Broward County's Public Art & Design program is a national leader in developing model public art policies and best practices, producing exemplary public artworks synthesizing design excellence. Broward County has received five Americans for the Arts Year in Review public art awards over the past eight years, an indicator of the program’s outstanding commitment in advancing art and design, ” Liesel Fenner, ASLA (American Society of Landscape Architects), Public Art Program Manager, Americans for the Arts.

Moore Avenue, is called “A Tribute to Dox Thrash.” Interpreting Dox Thrash’s signature black-and-white style, created with his invented “carborundum mezzotint” technique, which allowed richer print tones, it depicted Thrash working in his studio.
The printmaker, who lived from 1893 to 1965, with 40 years of his life spent in Philadelphia, is renowned for the realism and tonal depth given to his images of African-American life in the early- to mid-20th century. The creation of the mural coincided with a retrospective on Thrash at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and is part of the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program’s “African American Iconic Images Collection.”
In a story on philly.com, Jenn McCreary, Director of Communications at the Mural Arts Program, stated that it was “definitely possible” that a firm contracted by the government painted the black square over the art. This is because of the foreclosure on the building that puts it under the management of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. It’s not clear exactly when the defacement occurred, but they were notified of it via Twitter in November. According to the Atlantic, the mural was tagged with graffiti in May, which may have led to the painting over by a contractor.
Amy R. Johnston, Information & Events Specialist with the Mural Arts Program, toldARTINFO this week that they are still investigating the matter.

Mike Kelley's last show opens in Amsterdam
Before his death in February, Mike Kelley had been working with the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam on the first full retrospective of his work since 1993. With his sudden death (reportedly suicide), the entire nature of the project changed. “It’s still so soon after his death,” says Ann Goldstein, the director of the museum, “so it is also a moment to realise that it was a career in progress until just months ago, and now it has suddenly concluded. It was a long-standing project to get to this point but, since his death, it has taken on a different meaning and we feel a real sense of responsibility to consider what this current circumstance is...

The Scottish, Abstract Painter One Of The Young British Artists Callum Innes "begins from a point at the very heart of the classical tradition of abstract painting, and he remains true to that tradition, especially its conjectural nature: the urge to continually explore and test what a painting is or might be. In this respect, he's been called an 'unpainter.'" The Irish Times 09/17/12
