<love that lion, similar to the one on the column at San Marco>


I've never been to the Biennale; have you? Though I enjoy reading about it, I'm not very enthused about visiting popular exhibitions myself as I am crabby when surrounded by throngs of people while trying to look at an exhibit.

That reminds me, have you been to the Book Fair that happens in Frankfurt each year?

Never been to the the Biennale though to the bookfair in Frankfurt. (Which is a) to big, b) to crowded as well.)

The NEUE Gallerie
Museum for German, and Austrian Art
New York City

I have to see this since I also do etchings, and woodcuts.

Last time I was there was in late January or early February of this year. I went to see the Comic Grotesque (Wit and Mockery in German Art, 1870-1940). It left me wanting more.

The museum is close to where I live. I can walk there to 86 street, corner of 5th avenue.

Hey, that's a handy one, AngeliqueE. I'm going to add that to my list of "hope to see's" for my October trip to New York.

<the cafe there looks like a treat>



<see ossoB - I am reading along :wink: >

It's a nice little museum. Hope you have fun when you come to NY.

Thanks, AngeliqueE. I definitely hope to have another great trip to New York. There are some other A2K'rs living within walking distance of Museum Mile. I'd be surprised if you haven't tripped over each other yet.

I know lol

some of my friends in a group called Artspace, from Loughborough (there are some interesting pronunciations of that from foreign lorry drivers wanting to know directions!) are taking part in the Venice Biennale this year, sponsored by the Arts Council. I can't find them on the site - tired and brain not in gear.

Ooooh, glad to see Angelique's link...

There's an aquatint exhibition coming up at Metaphor that looks interesting.

Eek, I forgot to change the title on the first post...

There are a lot of other links for nyc galleries on the artupdate.com website...

I'll get back to you on it. only a couple of the group are going, sponsored by the Arts Council, though they are all putting work in. <sighs in envy>

Just a half-minute news item:

Stolen Rembrandt work recovered
A self-portrait by Rembrandt has been recovered by Danish police, nearly five years after it was stolen in a daring raid on Sweden's National Museum.
It was retrieved on Thursday during an operation at a Copenhagen hotel that resulted in the arrest of four people.

"We heard that someone was trying to sell the painting and we decided to go for it," said a police spokesman.

The artwork - which was reportedly undamaged and still in its original frame - is worth an estimated £34m.

Dating from 1630, it was stolen by three armed and masked robbers who entered Sweden's National Museum in December 2000.

'Close co-operation'

Making off with three paintings - the Rembrandt and two others by Renoir - they escaped on a small motor boat, spreading nails in front of the museum before they fled.


One of the Renoirs was recovered in 2001. Eight men were subsequently jailed for their part in the robbery.
Police said Thursday's raid came as a result of "close co-operation" between Swedish authorities, the FBI and the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The four men arrested - two Iraqi nationals, a Gambian and a Swede - will face a custody hearing on Friday.

"Then we will have them extradited to Sweden," said Chief Superintendent Per Larsen of Copenhagen police.

The stolen Rembrandt will be returned to Sweden's National Museum. The other Renoir has yet to be recovered.
