New Exhibition Scheduled--ARTtalk.Com has announced a new exhibition at the Gallery at the Square, 18 East Main St., Beacon, N.Y., beginning July 14. Contemporary American Airbrush Illustrators will feature the works of renowned artists/illustrators Scott Angle (CA), Michael Cacy (OR), Debbie Eastlack (NJ), Jerry LoFaro (NH), and Eddie Young (CA). The public is invited to an opening reception on July 14 from 4 7 p.m. Through August 24.
Cows and More Come Home--Chicago's "Cows" exhibition in 1999 inspired many cities worldwide to present like exhibitions. On display this summer at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo are more than 50 "critters" representative of these exhibitions--corn on the cob from Bloomington, IL, dancing pigs from Cincinnati, OH, redfish from New Orleans, LA, moose from Whitefish, MT, Mr. Potato Head from Providence, RI, and more.
Awards Given--The Smithsonian American Art Museum has announced that Jorge Pardo, an installation artist, is the inaugural winner of the Lucelia Artist Award. The $25,000 award was established this year to recognize annually an American artist under the age of 50 who has produced a significant body of artwork that demonstrates exceptional creativity. The American Academy of Arts and Letters has awarded Richard Serra its Gold Medal for Sculpture. Awards in Art went to eight artists, and five artists were inducted into the academy.
"Puppy" Replaced--It may not appeal to those individuals with arachnophobia, but an 18,000 pound bronze spider, "Maman" by Louise Bourgeois, has replaced last year's "Puppy" of flowering plants by Jeff Koons at Rockefeller Center in New York City. Two smaller spiders complete the installation, which may be viewed through Labor Day.
Treasures Discovered--Over 1,000 years ago, the Egyptian port city of Herakleion was sent tumbling into the ocean by an earthquake. Treasures recently recovered include huge statues and revealing tablets. It is estimated that 20,000 pieces remain on the ocean floor for recovery.
Reward Offered--The day after a cocktail reception at the Jewish Museum in N.Y.C., an oil painting in an exhibit of early works by Marc Chagall was discovered missing. The 8"x10" "Study for 'Over Vitebsk,'" is valued at one million dollars. A $25,000 reward is being offered by the museum for information leading to recovery of the work.
