Van Eycks Genter Altar zum Heranzoomen.
Each centimeter of the beautiful altarpiece was scrutinized and professionally photographed at extremely high resolution in both regular and infrared light. The photographs were then digitally stitched together to create highly detailed images that allow for study of the painting at unprecedented microscopic levels. The website itself contains 100...

Gaudi From The Grave | The Global Mail →
By the time Antoni Gaudí was run over and killed by a Barcelona tram in June 1926, he had been working on his design for the Expiatory Church of the Holy Family for 43 years - almost his entire architectural career. For the last 12 of those years he worked on the Sagrada Familia to the exclusion of everything else, and during his last 18 months he slept on site in his workshop in the...

Sarah Thornton schrieb für den Guardian:
Fifteen years ago financial advisers were not in the practice of recommending that rich people diversify their portfolios by buying art. Now it is the norm. While buying emergent art is high-risk, speculative investment, acquiring established masterpieces is perceived as the opposite – a back-up in hard times. If all goes wrong in the world, if the...

Earliest copy of Mona Lisa found in Prado | The... →
Until recently, curators at the Prado had no idea of the significance of their copy of the Mona Lisa. There are dozens of surviving replicas from the 16th and 17th centuries. The Madrid version was believed by some specialist to have been painted fairly early, but the absence of the landscape background meant that it aroused little interest […].
Das ändert sich nun, nachdem unter der...

Interview mit Bazon Brock | artnet →
Nun, die Künstler sind die einzigen, die das prinzipiell Unlösbare immer schon bearbeitet haben. Sie sind die Experten für den Umgang mit solchen Problemen. In der Kunst gibt es gar keinen Fortschritt. Es gibt keinen Fortschritt von Perugino zu Raffael, von Raffael zu Michelangelo, von Michelangelo zu Caravaggio. Keine Überbietungsstrategien, es gibt auch keine Möglichkeit, sich vor dem Problem...

Gursky, Gursky über allem | ZEIT ONLINE →
Hanno Rauterberg huldigt Andreas Gursky.
Gurskys eigentliche Kunst besteht aber darin, mit seiner Schönheit die Träume der Moderne zu reaktivieren, ohne die Traumata zu unterschlagen. Vom Helikopter herab fotografiert er die Autorennstrecke in Bahrain, ein schwarzes Gekräusel im Wüstensand, reines Ornament, das aussieht, als hätte es ein Maler wie K. O. Götz auf die Leinwand gezaubert. Die...

HuffPost Arts Interviews Hennessy Youngman Of Art... →
Ha, “art” versus the “real”, that’s a big fucking polemic son! I guess the divide exists because many many decades ago, art became less about simple mirror reflection of the physical world, and more about it’s own materiality, about the processes specific to its production, ideas took precedence over product, questions, critique, provocations and research...

Freud, Interrupted | Vanity Fair →
“The time he used to like me most was if I had a hangover,” says Cozette McCreery, the subject of the painting Irish Woman on a Bed (2003–4), who met the artist while working as an assistant to his daughter Bella. “I asked, ‘Is that because I’ll just sit here and shut up?’ And he was like, ‘No, no, you have a sort of glow!’ ”

THE REAL CINDY SHERMAN | Harper's Bazaar →
Unspektakuläres, solides Porträt zu Cindy Sherman.
By the end of the ’80s, Sherman, now an art star, was doing some pretty nasty stuff — scenes of depravity, vomit, destruction. There are not many things more disgusting than a pimply ass or a face buried in vomit, but the pictures are funny too. Sherman says, “Initially, I started that work as a reaction to feeling a little nervous...

Hassobjekt: "Das kann ich ja auch!" ZEITjUNG →
Max Fraenkel (@Max_Fraenkel) regt sich über die Das-kann-ich-auch-Sager im Museum auf. Amüsant.
Natürlich kann es deprimierend sein, vom Genius eines Künstlers die eigene Nichtigkeit vorgeführt zu bekommen. Verstehe ich ja! Aber dann tu mir einen Gefallen: Wimmere still und heimlich in dich rein, akzeptiere deinen beschränkten Horizont und lass mich damit in Ruhe.

“The Monuments Men,” which Clooney is co-writing with his producing partner Grant Heslov, will tell the story of a hand-picked group of art experts chosen by the U.S. government to retrieve artwork stolen by the Nazis. “I’m excited about it,” Clooney told TheWrap at the Palm Springs Film Festival on Saturday. “It’s a fun movie because it could be big entertainment.
