Are we going to start seeing fig leaves again?


Some people just are prepared for such images, and, well, I'm glad the Moma didn't back down.

Quite a tame painting compared to many, Courbet's Birth of the world comes to mind as does Degas. I for one, was left permanently marked after an Egon Schiele exhibit, The radical nude. but I've managed quite well since then Wink

I think the translation is, Origin of the World, but get your point.

I'm sure this has been covered somewhere in the 73 page of this thread, but I'm gonna ask anyway...

I'm surprising my wife with a trip to NYC next week, and I would like to spend a day looking for a piece or two for the house. Which galleries do you suggest? We tend to like minimalist, modern, and illustrated works.

I'd prefer galleries that are more "newbie" friendly, if that's a thing.

Thanks!

Jorge, just saw this.

You will really need to search when you are going since galleries change their artist monthly in most cases.

That said, stay far away from Chelsea art district as a newbie as they are incredibly rude on their best day to even seasoned buyers. D and I go to SoHo district each season for art specifically as you mentioned. We have bought several works from DTR in SoHo on W. Broadway.

Call me if I can help with questions like pricing et al.

Jorge, sent you an email. Please, wine + art, tell him about my extensive art knowledge and how I drank all your wine. Hope you and D are doing well!

Wink would be an honor, we had a terrific time with you guys

re, art buying, I like your comment on the "Chelsea snobbery". I have heard this before, no manners!

Finding people you can work with is VERY cost effective in the art world! Wink Wink Eek

An article about a new Picasso Museum:


Pablo Picasso’s step-daughter Catherine Hutin-Blay announced plans to transform a former convent into an expansive museum.
(via the Art Newspaper)

Hutin-Blay inherited some 2,000 works from her mother, Picasso’s second wife, Jacqueline Roque. Now, she plans to display a large portion of the collection in a new museum her company, Madame Z, is building in the south of France. As most works date between 1952 to 1973, the years spanning Roque’s involvement with Picasso, the museum is an homage to both Picasso’s oeuvre and her mother’s relationship with the artist. The site is a former convent located in Aix-en-Provence, a city of roughly 140,000 people where both her mother and Picasso are buried. The museum is expected to draw 500,000 visitors per year, and some residents are concerned with the environmental impact the rise in traffic will have on the area. “I hope that studies assessing the impact of a project of this scale on the neighbouring buildings will be conducted,” Charlotte de Busschère, a local politician, said, as reported in the Art Newspaper. In addition to Hutin-Blay’s collection, a research center and space for public workshops will be incorporated into the building, which is set to wrap up completion in 2021.

An article in Artsy:

A member of the mafia has claimed that a stolen Caravaggio painting was sent to Switzerland.
(via The Art Newspaper)

While testifying to the Italian parliament’s standing commission on organized crime, mafia member Gaetano Grado claimed that a missing Caravaggio painting, Nativity with St. Francis and St. Lawrence (1600), was handed off to a Swiss art dealer after it was stolen in 1969. The theft of the painting from a Baroque chapel in Palermo, Sicily, has remained on the FBI’s list of top 10 art crimes. Grado said that the original thieves were petty criminals, but after the uproar following its disappearance, the mafia realized the painting’s worth, and it was handed over to the head of the Sicilian Mafia Commission, Gaetano Badalamenti. Badalamenti sold the work to an art dealer from Switzerland and, Grado claims, decided to cut the painting into pieces in order to transport it. This is not the first time a wild claim has been made about what the mafia did with the painting––according to TheArt Newspaper, previous mafia members have alleged that the painting was “stored in a stable and eaten by mice,” and even “used as a bedside carpet by a mafia boss.” The name of the Swiss dealer has not been released, but the head of the government commission on organized crime, Rosy Bindi, is following the lead and hoping for international cooperation.

An upcoming exhibit at the Marmottan Museum in Paris. Looking forward to this when we visit in the fall.

Private COLLECTIONS.
Masterpieces of special COLLECTIONS from IMPRESSSIONNISME to Fauvism

September 13, 2018 to February 10, 2019

"Collectors ' House", the Musée Marmottan Monet, from September 13, 2018 to February 10, 2019, will gather about sixty works from all over the world, from special, secular or recent collections. This ensemble will consist of paintings, sculptures and drawings, which will be presented for the first time to the Parisian public or which have rarely been shown before. These masterpieces, signed among others by Monet, Degas, Caillebotte, Renoir, Rodin, Camille Claudel, Seurat, Signac, Émile Bernard, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Redon, Vuillard, Blackwell, Derain, Vlaminck or Matisse, testify to the vitality of the arts, Impressionism in Fauvism. Conceived thanks to the generosity of collectors and to pay homage to them, the course will offer visitors an unprecedented walk through the arts from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century.
