A Corporate Brand Of Art As government subsidies for the arts plummet around the world, private companies are frequently stepping in to fill the funding void. But companies need to be able to show some return on every investment, and are looking to promote themselves through their philanthropy, as European arts groups used to public funding are discovering. Deutche Welle 08/10/07 Picasso, Monet, Renoir... Dylan? An exhibition of paintings by folksinger Bob Dylan will go on display this fall at a German museum. "Dylan has produced more than 200 sketches and watercolours over the years... The collection, entitled The Drawn Blank Series, will hang in an exhibition alongside works by various European masters, including Picasso." The Independent (UK) 08/10/07 Sotheby's Sets A Six-Month Record "Auction house Sotheby's yesterday posted record results after bumper sales in the first six months of this year. The auctioneer generated income of $132m (about £65m) in the first half, 92% higher than a year earlier and more than any full year in its history." The Guardian (UK) 08/09/07 When Art Means Sailing A Wooden Submarine "Duke Riley, a heavily tattooed Brooklyn artist whose waterborne performance projects around New York have frequently landed him in trouble with the authorities, spent the last five months building ... a rough replica of what is believed to have been America's first submarine.... He wanted to float north in the Buttermilk Channel to stage an incursion against the Queen Mary 2, which had just docked in Red Hook, the mission objective mostly just to get close enough to the ship to videotape himself against its immensity for a coming gallery show." The New York City police had other ideas.... The New York Times 08/04/07 Graffiti: Art Or Blight? The Debate Continues. "As a city volunteer rolled dark green paint over a bright jumble of scrawlings and imagery on a fence at Warm Water Cove Park on Saturday, Paul Barron stood alongside holding a yellow sign with an ornately lettered message: 'Celebrate Graffiti!' 'Painting over artwork isn't gonna prevent any crime,' Barron, who described himself as a professional muralist and graffiti artist, told reporters who had come to witness a culture clash on a balmy morning at San Francisco's southern waterfront. 'They're taking away our voice ... killing the only pure form of art.'" San Francisco Chronicle 08/05/07 Lost Van Gogh, Hidden Beneath Paint, Found At MFA "For years, art scholars pondered a mystery: Did Vincent van Gogh create a painting that matches a sketch in Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum? Now a conservator at the Museum of Fine Arts has discovered the lost painting, but museumgoers will never be able to see it: The painting lies underneath another van Gogh long on display at the MFA, the museum announced yesterday." Boston Globe 08/04/07
