New Exhibition Scheduled--ARTtalk.com's Gallery at the Square in Beacon, NY, has announced the opening of A Show of Shows 1960-1975, Art Exhibition Posters and Catalogs on December 8 and continuing through January 13. This is an excellent opportunity to view the artwork of major contemporary artists whose works are included in many of the great art museums of the world, from Roy Lichtenstein to Alex Katz. The public is cordially invited to an opening reception on Saturday, Dec. 8, from 4-7 p.m.
Painting Declared Fake--An expert on Rembrandt Peale has determined that a painting of George Washington at Washington College in Chestertown, MD, is a fake. George Washington as Master Mason was a gift to the college in 1944.
Heroes Honored--Comic book artists and writers have compiled a 64-page poster collection to honor those who risked their lives to save others during the September 11th attacks. Heroes is available in stores and will benefit the Red Cross.
Fall Auction Results In--Sales started off well at Phillips' auction of mostly early 20th century French and German Art. Sixty-seven of 72 works sold, totaling over $86 million, a bit above the low estimate. At the contemporary art auction, 36 of 44 works found buyers. At Sotheby's sale of Impressionist and modern art, 25 of 38 works sold, totaling below the low estimate. Pissarro's La Rue Saint-Lazare set a record for the artist. At the contemporary art sale, 53 of 60 lots sold, and Lichtenstein's Ball of Twine starred at $4 million. And at Christies, paintings from the '20s and '30s brought in over $108 million for 49 works, with a record set for a sculpture by Picasso.
Designers Contribute--An idea on the Society of Craft Designers web site has resulted in a 24-page, 4-color book called United We Craft. Of those selected from the hundreds of designs submitted, Americans can make patriotic projects to display their national pride. Krause Publications has covered all production costs and will make a generous donation to the Red Cross on behalf of those involved in the project. On sale now.
Holiday Postage Stamps Available--The warmth and joy of the holiday season are captured on this year's Christmas and Holiday postage stamps. Depicted are Lorenzo Costa's Virgin and Child on the Christmas stamp and four different images that represent the rich folklore of Santa Claus on the Holiday stamps.
December Birthdays:
2 Georges Seurat
3 Gilbert Stuart
7 Gian Lorenzo Bernini
12 Helen Frankenthaler

The staff at ARTtalk wishes you peace and joy this holiday season.
