The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York city decided to postpone its extension of a new contemporary and modern wing (estimated $600 million) at least until 2022. New York Times has the full story: The Metropolitan Museum Will Delay a New $600 Million Wing

Here is a nice article on the Art Market for 2017: Art market predictions for 2017.  I really liked what Jussi Pylkanen from Christie’s said: “The art world is very simple, in any era and in any economic climate, the greatest artworks by the greatest artists generate record prices – forget the period. In 2016, Rembrandt eclipsed Monet, De Kooning and Rubens.”  Quality will always have value.

 

Was Czartoryski Raphael found?

It is hard to believe.  However Polish government has claimed to have acquired the painting.  The portrait, once thought to be a self-portrait, was taken from the Czartoryski collection by the Nazis (Hans Frank) in 1945, and has not been seeing since then.

Interesting fact was that the director of the National Museum in Krakow, Andrzej Betlej, has said that he believes the famous missing Raphael portrait can be traced to a specific private collection.  Betlej has not said which collection it is in, or indeed even in which country. But it seems he has some evidence to suggest that the painting is still alive and well, somewhere. I really like to believe so.

Here is an article about it: lost Raphael (in Polish, but it can be translated)

What does it take?

What does it take to move people?

What does it take to make them happy?

What does it take to teach them feelings?

To unite continents

To inspire a smile?

To combine sciences and faculties?

To speak to the scholars as well as to plebeians?

It takes simplicity,

It takes madness,

It takes blue as well as yellow,

And in grand quantities.

It takes him,

It takes Vincent

No last name needed.

(working on my speech…)

 

 

 

Is it a Van Gogh or a Gogh Van?

So apparently the publisher of “The Lost Arles Sketchbook” by Van Gogh is threatening to take legal action if anyone says the drawings are fake:

“reserved the right to undertake any appropriate action to repair the damage caused by these claims that describe her [the book’s owner] as a forger.”

In my opinion the drawings have a very modern style, and lack of details. My guess is that if the drawings are fakes, then they have been made relatively recently. Let’s stay tuned….
