Art News Headlines |
SAN ANTONIO
A utopia in the making
The Examiner (7/28/09)
Kristian Jaime
"San Antonio has taken a page from Vincent Van Gogh and Paul Gauguin's master plan for an artists' village. Its name? The Blue Star Art Complex and it doubles as a nightspot."
NATIONAL
Stripping Away the Darkness as Murals Are Reborn
The New York Times (7/26/09)
Carol Vogel
"The lobby of 30 Rockefeller Plaza, that movie-set-perfect Art Deco interior, sees thousands of people every day. Most are passing through. But for the last nine months a team of six conservators has all but moved in and will be there for the next two years. Carefully concealed behind giant scrims, they spend hour after hour methodically removing decades of yellowed varnish from the building's famed murals, one inch at a time."
INTERNATIONAL
Theatre needs cultural entrepreneurs as well as artists
The Guardian (7/27/09)
Lyn Gardner
"The British Council's award for enterprising spirit in the performing arts is a reminder that business sense is more important than ever."
