Feature Article :::
+New “anti-terrorist”
display case for the Mona Lisa
The Art Newspaper - UK
Leonardo’s most celebrated work, the
Mona Lisa, has deteriorated so significantly
over the last year that conservation experts
at the Louvre have ordered urgent analysis
of its condition, to be carried out early
next year when the work is removed from its
current display case and installed in a new
climate-controlled vitrine. It will then be
moved to a new, specially-designed gallery
as part of a E2.3 million project paid for
by the Japanese company, Nippon TV. Although
this project was announced a few years ago,
it is finally coming to fruition.
+Subway
art mistaken for flyposting
The Guardian - UK
Despite possessing a shadowy and strangely
scented mystique that is all their own, subways
are seldom held to be the most beautiful features
of the urban landscape.
+Self-portrait
scores $100,000 art prize
ABC News - Australia
A relatively unknown artist from Melbourne
has won Australia's richest art prize. Prudence
Flint has been announced as the winner of
the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize, collecting
$100,000 prize money.
+Which label fits better: 'Arab art' or
simply 'art'?
CSMonitor.com
MARKIYYA, SYRIA – A remote hillside in
the coastal region of Lattakia isn't the most
conventional of art studios. Nor the most
comfortable. As the midday heat shimmers and
dust swirls, apprentices in surgical masks
and straw hats take turns swinging hammers
at a block of marble.

+Early Andy Warhol Works Surprise With
Charm
Staight.com - USA
When he was a sickly, shy mama's boy, taunted
by schoolmates in his working-class neighbourhood
of Pittsburgh, Andrew Warhola could not have
predicted the vastly more than 15 minutes
of fame that would be his.

+Casino loan earns
Boston unwelcome attention
The Art Newspaper - UK
The climate of reform that swept the corporate
world in the wake of the Enron and other corporate
scandals is spreading to the not-for-profit
sector, with Congress and State attorneys
general seeking stiffer legislation regulating
charities.
+Brutal
truth of Cook's final minutes
The Guardian - UK
The unexpurgated version of the death of Captain
Cook, presenting a more realistic version
than the familiar heroic scene, has been rediscovered
more than 220 years after the deaths of both
the explorer and the artist.
+Visual arts: Tribute to philanthropy and
first-rate art
Financial Times - UK
The Foundling Museum, which re-opened in June
after refurbishment, is a living link with
the Foundling Hospital, an 18th-century initiative
that brought the worlds of philanthropy, art
and music together to create a unique institution
dedicated to the care of children
+The Top Ten
ArtNews Online
A top collector should have three things,
says a knowledgeable observer of the things
top collectors should have:
1. Deep pockets.
2. Big closets.
3. No memory.
Deep pockets? Big closets? That’s easy.
How come no memory?

+Mexican art, hold the clichés
CSMonitor - USA
If it's Mexican art, it must depict strong,
noble peasants at work in the fields. Or,
perhaps Australian art - surely, that will
mean Aboriginal handiwork. Native American
art means clay pots and elegant rugs. Right?
