The Art of Titian at Minneapolis Institute of Arts

Venus Rising from the Sea

"Catch this rare opportunity to see the cream of the Venetian paintings collection of the National Galleries of Scotland, here for the first time ever. Two ravishing pendants by Titian, Diana and Actaeon and Diana and Callisto, make this a must-see for painting lovers.


Acclaimed as the most poetic creations of the Italian Renaissance, these luminous sixteenth-century paintings are the two most significant works by Titian outside of Italy and Spain. Originally painted for King Philip II of Spain, they entered the Bridgewater/Sutherland collection at the end of the eighteenth century and have been on loan to the National Gallery since 1945.
The exhibition also includes Titian's famous Venus Rising From the Sea (formerly a Bridgewater picture) and masterpieces by Lorenzo Lotto, Jacopo Tintoretto, Jacopo Bassano, Paris Bordon, Giovanni Cariani, and Paolo Veronese. A companion exhibition, "Venice on Paper," will present a selection of stunning Venetian drawings by Venetian Renaissance masters."

Ai Weiwei artista más poderoso

 "El artista chino Ai Weiwei, que permaneció detenido 81 días a principios de este año por su disidencia política, ha sido nombrado hombre más poderoso del mundo del arte en un nuevo ranking.


La revista de arte contemporáneo ArtReview publicó su décimo ranking anual "Power 100", coincidiendo con la inauguración de la Feria de Arte Frieze de Londres que atrae a muchas de las galerías más importantes del mundo y coleccionistas.


Ai, conocido por obras como el llamado "Nido de Pájaro", el Estadio Olímpico de Beijing, y una reciente instalación en la galería Tate Modern de Londres, con una réplica de millones de semillas de girasol de porcelana, ocupó el puesto número 13 en el ranking del año pasado."

Art galleries expect collectors

 "That's what Art Basel Miami Beach organizers and galleries are expecting. They say recent auctions and art fairs have indicated that collectors are again acquiring high art and that they are not afraid to reach into their pockets and spend money this year during the fair, which opens Thursday.


"It was quite clear that the American collectors were back and participating," Bonnie Clearwater, director of the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami, said. "So, there seems to be a lot of optimism."


Dealers agree.


"I think they are buying again," said Steven Henry, director of the Paula Cooper Gallery in New York. "I wouldn't say the market has rebounded in full. ... I think what you are seeing is slightly more confidence in the economy."

El Arte callejero

 Aunque resulte chocante, dentro de un edificio tan sobrio como la antigua sede del Banco Central se puede ver un grafiti en el suelo o una fuente con forma de mano erigida sobre la 'm' de McDonalds, que sangra, además, por una pequeña herida. 


Son sólo unas pinceladas de 'Gráfika. 30 artistas de la España joven', la nueva exposición que alberga el Instituto Cervantes. Se han reunido casi 100 obras de arte urbano, "un arte que era marginal y por fin está aceptado", afirma Carmen Caffarel, directora del centro. 


Además, con motivo de esta muestra se ofrecerán actividades durante los 'jueves urbanos' de otoño.
      
      
Lo más innovador es presentar estas obras a través de un canal que no las había albergado antes: una galería. 


Es el contraste de ver mensajes pintados con spray o grafitis de autores que han tenido problemas con la policía en una fundación como el Instituto Cervantes. 


Ironizando este aspecto, se puede ver el dibujo de una cara cuyos ojos (en pantallas de televisión) "se mueven hacia todas partes preguntándose '¿Pero qué hago yo aquí?'", describe Mario Martín. Leer +
